An effective anti aging skin treatment is very important, as skin changes are affected by environmental factors, genetic makeup, nutrition and other factors.
Steps
- Prevent sunburn if at all possible
- Use a good quality sunscreen when outdoors, even in the winter
- Wear protective clothing and hats as necessary
- Good nutrition and adequate fluids are also helpful. Dehydration increases the risk of skin injury. Sometimes minor nutritional deficiencies can cause rashes, skin lesions, and other skin changes even if no other symptoms are present
- Proper anti aging skin treatment includes keeping the skin moist with lotions
- You should also consider additional anti aging skin treatment in the form of health supplements
- A preservative-free collagen supplement will support the skin structure by feeding the body internally and aesthetically. Collagen is nature's most abundant protein polymer, accounting for 30% of our bodies protein, and 75% of our skin
Tips
- Clinical studies on anti aging skin treatment, performed by the Department of Medicine, University of Liverpool in United Kingdom indicated that "A number of micronutrients have been suggested to have metabolic properties that could induce this protection, and published data indicate that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are particularly effective in this role".
- Another study from the Department of Dermatology, University of California indicates that "the supplementation of diets with appropriate purified vegetable oils and/or fish oil may generate local cutaneous anti-inflammatory metabolites ... for the management of skin inflammatory disorders".
Warnings
- As you age, you are at increased risk for skin injury. Your skin is thinner, more fragile and the protective subcutaneous fat layer is lost. In addition, your ability to sense touch, pressure, vibration, heat and cold may be reduced. Therefore, your aging skin is at higher risk for injury. Consequently, appropriate anti aging skin treatment and prevention is vital.
- Natural pigments seem to provide some protection against sun-induced skin damage. Blue-eyed, fair-skinned people show more aging skin changes than people with darker, more heavily pigmented skin.
- The greatest threat to your skin is sun exposure. If you compare areas of your body that have regular sun exposure with areas that are protected from sunlight, you will likely observe a significant difference in skin condition. Therefore, avoid being overexposed to sun.
- Changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin's strength and elasticity. This is known as elastosis and is especially pronounced in sun-exposed areas (solar elastosis). Elastosis produces the leathery, weather-beaten appearance common to farmers, sailors, and others who spend a large portion of their life outdoors.
