Make Your Skin Younger

Nobody wants to look old before their time. In fact, most of us don't want to look old even when it is our time! Fortunately, there have been many advances in skin care technology, so that it's now possible to have fresh, supple, younger-looking skin no matter what your age.

Healthy Skin
It's true -- With antiaging skin care treatment,the young, beautiful, vibrant skin, which can make you look a decade younger than you actually are, is within reach. Really, no matter what your starting point, you can dramatically improve the appearance and feel of your skin.

Line Erasing
What brings on wrinkles? By the time we hit our 30s, our bodies stop producing as much of this good stuff and we even start to naturally lose our supply. External factors, such as sunlight and pollution, accelerate this breakdown. The end result: the appearance of that little line on your face.

So,we need some antiaging skin care treatments! Use a sunscreen every day, even in the winter and even when you're indoors or in the car, as the sun's rays can penetrate through glass. Boost this protective effect with a moisturizer that contains antioxidants, as they help fight off the damage brought on by the sun; some powerful ones are vitamin C, green tea, and olive leaf concentrate, among others. Next, include a retinoid, the only ingredient clinically proven to increase your skin's collagen production, into your daily regimen. You can either ask your dermatologist for a prescription-strength formula, such as Renova, or choose from the many over-the-counter products that contain retinol.

Firm and Fabulous
When describing young, beautiful, sexy skin, the word "firm" is probably high on your list of must-haves.Well-hydrated skin also appears firmer. The most potent ingredient of antiaging used today is hyaluronic acid, a sugar found in our skin that is capable of holding 1,000 times its own weight in water. Many companies have duplicated hyaluronic acid and are using it in their new antiaging skincare products to plump up sagging cheeks and to fill in fine lines. It's a very important ingredient that restores water to aged skin.

Hyaluronic acid: Found naturally in our skin and depleted over time, this ingredient actually draws moisture from the environment into the skin, resulting in a plumper-looking complexion.

Yeast extract: This ingredient is used in many "lifting" creams to temporarily smooth the skin.
