Apply Skin Care Products In An Upward Motion for by Aminaz
“Aging skin tends to droop, and any tugging at the skin downward can accelerate droopy skin,” Dr. Hartman tells TZR. By applying your skin care products upwards you will work against gravity and improve elasticity to prevent premature aging.
Exfoliate Weekly
When you exfoliate weekly (or up to 3 times a week) you will slough away the dead, dull skin cells and reveal brighter, new skin underneath. Exfoliating also increases cellular turnover while softening and preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
Don’t Forget About Your Neck
To keep up with your youthful-appearance goals, make sure to drag product from your face to your neck, chest, and hands. These three areas are just as impacted by environmental stressors and sun damage as the skin on the face. And because the neck and chest have thinner skin, they are more sensitive to rapid decrease of collagen – affecting the skin’s overall elasticity.
Sunscreen Is Your Best Friend
According to Dr. Hartman, sun exposure is the leading cause of premature skin aging – making daily sunscreen application a main focus in every routine. “Ultraviolet A-rays (UVA) are aging rays,” says Dr. Hartman. “They cause signs of aging like sun spots, wrinkles and fine lines.” Ultraviolet B-rays (UVB) burn the skin and give it a red, raw appearance – also leading to aging. In terms of what SPF to look for, the expert recommends at least SPF 30 for your face, and reapplying every two hours. Make sure to look for formulas that don’t contain alcohol as this will dry out your skin. Dr. Hartman always recommends La Roche Posay Toleraine Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF and Supergoop! Daily Moisturizer SPF 40.
Apply Retinol At Night
One of the most powerful skin care ingredients out there, retinol will help speed up cell turnover on the skin – helping to remove dirt, oil, and debris that can clog the pores. According to Dr. Sethi, “our ability to renew skin decreases as we age and retinol accelerates this renewal process, making your skin renew and repair damage around the same rate as it did in your twenties.”
And Dr. Hartman agrees. “Retinol helps boost collagen production in the skin, making skin more supple and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,” shares Dr. Hartman who recommends Paula’s choice 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment. Retinol is also a hero ingredient in reducing signs of sun damage like hyperpigmentation.
