Preventing Premature Aging Of The Skin!
Our skin ages due to a variety of factors. Some things are under our control, while others are not. The natural aging process is one thing we cannot change.
We can reduce the impact of this form of aging on our skin by taking certain preventive measures. Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Amanda Lloyd, recommends the following basic steps to prevent premature skin aging:
- Keep your skin sun-protected. Sun protection is necessary whether you are going to the beach or doing sports. Seek shade, wear sun-protective clothes, and apply broad-spectrum, SPF 30 (or higher), water-resistant sunscreen to your skin.
- Stop smoking if you do. Smoking hastens the aging process of the skin. It results in wrinkles and a dreary, pale complexion.
- Exercise on most days of the week. Several studies have found that moderate exercise helps enhance circulation and increase the immune system. Which, in response, may offer the skin a much more youthful look.
- Every day, use a facial moisturizer. Moisturizer holds any water in our skin, making it appear younger.
- Every year do something as preventative maintenance. Annual Fraxel treatments, quarterly clear and brilliant with laser genesis treatments or quarterly Botox/Jeuveau treatments maintain your skin’s health and boost collagen maintaining your skin’s natural healthy glow.
