Anti-Aging Skin Care and Anti-Aging Strategies for Beautiful Younger Looking Skin

 

In our mid-late 20s skin starts to lose its ability to retain water. Oxygen level in the skin goes down as well by approximately 1/4. Skin can start losing its energy and the healthy glow. However it is too early to start using intensive anti-ageing skin care.

More serious signs of aging appear in our 30s. That is when in adition to the processes described above, our skin starts to produce less collagene which causes formation of mimic wrinkles. Those are deeper than just dry lines and are harder to treat. At this age, you can also notice that you have a duller complexion or/and that your skin is becoming more sensitive.

Usually anti-aging products are intended for women after 30. Their goal is to help women slow ddown the processs of aging or to reverse certain signs of aging.

In your 40s you have to correct such signs of aging as loss of collagene, loss of elasticity and age spots. There are special intensive anti-aging products and anti-aging treatments that can be very effective.

Essentials of Anti-Aging Skin Care Regime

  • Protect during the day: sunscreen and anti-oxidants
  • Repair at night: Retinol, Vitamin C, Peptides, Pro-Xylane etc.
  • Do you need to use anti-aging products in mid-20s? 

    In your mid-twenties you will notice some changes in your skin but it is too early for intensive anti-ageing treatments

    In our mid- late 20s skin starts to lose its ability to retain water. By the mid/late 20s dry lines can start to appear. However, they are quite easy to treat by selecting and regularly using an effective moisturizer. According to skin experts, starting from the mid - late 20s there is 1/4 less oxygen in our blood and that is why less vital oxygen gets transported to the skin cells. Skin can start to loose its energy, healthy color and glow.

    As a result of the recent research, several products combining achievement of DNA and Nanotechnologies have been developed and are available on the market. Some of these products, such as Juvedical from Juvena (see below), can be used starting from the age of 25.
