Purely Personal Skin Care

Want the skin you had when you were younger, but want to stay within the family budget?  Well, that may be possible.  Depends on how long you’ve waited to get serious about your wrinkles.

Let’s assume you haven’t waited too long.  You don’t have to resort to surgery or a spa for the celebrities.  If you really aren’t sure how to classify your skin, a visit with your dermatologist is a good start.  Knowing your skin type is basic.

Now you can shop for the anti-aging creams, skin lotions, tightening masks…and stop to read the labels on those products approved and formulated by dermatologists.  With confidence in your healthy skin care products, you’re on your way to scheduling a well-planned skin rejuvenation program.

With a determined, serious YOU in charge…your wrinkles are in deep trouble.

Senescence – the organic process of growing older.  Catabiosis – normal aging of cells.  We aim to fight both of those with our skin rejuvenation skin care.  Most of us want to reduce or eliminate the changes that occur with time and age.  Of course good nutrition, exercise and care to protect against the environmental onslaught of the sun and pollution can definitely help.  We can also improve our appearance at any age by smiling.  In fact a smiling older woman is considered more attractive than a non-smiling younger woman.  Some other small changes, such as sleeping on your back rather than you stomach can make a difference.  When you sleep on your stomach, your face gets scrunched up by the pillow.  Speaking of sleep, there’s another way to combat our senescence.  No matter what skin care beauty routine you follow, if you are sleep deprived, your face will show it.  No anti-aging routine can fix the effects of lack of sleep.

Find a good skin rejuvenation kit to begin with.  We recommend dermatologist-formulated beauty products as they are more likely to be natural.  Whatever you do, keep a daily skin care routine, morning and night and in between if you’re out in the sun.  Faithfully cleanse with a natural cleanser and tepid, never hot, water.  Exfoliate – this can be done while cleansing if you use a cleanser with salicylic acid.  MOISTURIZE – it’s a must.  At night use a rich night cream.  Lastly, use your sun block regularly – hopefully one with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

You’ll start thinking about skin-tightening when you notice your skin losing its firmness and elasticity because your body’s production of collagen and elastin is slowing down, a natural occurence with aging.

These are the structural proteins essential to keeping your skin young looking.  So how do you replenish these elements so valuable to a healthy youthful looking skin?  You can’t introduce these elements into your skin.  Their large molecules cannot be accommodated by the pores.  The best skin rejuvenating cream is one that will stimulate production of collagen and elastin.

Always read the ingredients in a skin care product.  Look for alcohol free as alcohol dries your skin.  Products containing anti-oxidants, algae, active peptides and beta hydroxyacids in ideal levels assure real skin improvement.  These ingredients stimulate the productivity of collagen and elastin.  You will most likely find ideal levels in dermatology-formulated products.
