Scientifically Proven Ways Reducing The Signs Of Aging On Our Skin

 

While many beauty brands promise to restore your youth, there really is no proven secret elixir that will eliminate the signs of aging of our bodies.

Everyone ages differently based on a number of factors, such as genetics and lifestyle choices, but there are things we can do to slow the aging process and reduce some of the effects we’re already seeing on our skin.

Retin-A

Retinoids, a family of Vitamin-A products, are well known in the world of anti-aging regimens as a treatment to reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage.

You may recognize the popular brand name Retin-A.

These products work by causing skin surface cells to turn over, bringing the new cell growth to the surface.

They also work to slow the breakdown of collagen and promote new collagen production, which is an important component to youthful-looking skin.

Patience is key with these products.

You won’t see results overnight, and your skin may undergo adverse reactions before you begin to see improvement in its overall appearance. Improvements such as reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and smoother, more even-toned skin are a few of the benefits that may result from sticking with your treatment regimen.

These products are available by prescription or over-the-counter, and whichever route you decide to go, it’s always best to develop a treatment plan with your dermatologist.

Moisturizer

Because Retin-A can cause redness and peeling initially, it’s important to work with your dermatologist to find the correct strength and treatment plan, as well as monitor any side effects.

Pairing your Retin-A treatment with a daily moisturizer is helpful to combat unwanted dryness while your skin is adjusting to the Retin-A treatment.

Wearing a daily moisturizer with a minimum of SPF 30 can help combat the dryness caused by Retin-A as well as protect you from sun exposure.

Sunscreen

Some patients choose to stop the use of Retin-A during the summer months.

Because Retin-A works by removing dead skin cells and exposing new, healthy layers, your skin becomes very sensitive to sun exposure, putting you at a higher risk for sunburn.

If you choose to use Retin-A during the summer, be extra cautious.

Wear a hat when you’re in the sun for prolonged periods and be sure to load up on sunscreen.

The FDA recommends applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to uncovered skin.

The takeaway

If you’re already using a daily moisturizer and using sunscreen when exposed to the sun, you’re taking good preventive steps to slow the signs of aging on your skin.

Combining those with a Retinoid product, such as Retin-A, can help to reverse the signs of aging that may have already begun to form, such as fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots.

Having a conversation with your dermatologist before starting any new skin products is always a good idea, as they can help you develop a treatment plan and monitor any side effects.
