Beautiful Skin Forever

Beautiful Skin Forever

Skin Care – Never too young or too old to have beautiful Skin!

At birth, we all start out with beautiful skin.  No wrinkles, spots, large pores,  but then what happens?   Sun, smoking, poor diet all begin to affect the quality of our skin.

For example, look at the inside of your upper arm, which receives little sun and compare it to your outer arm or forearm.  See a big difference? It’s all about sun exposure.

More  sun abuse results in more wrinkles, spots, discoloration, etc.  But, with the advent of sun blocks and skin care regimes available today, it’s now possible to maintain healthy, young looking skin forever.

For the younger generation,  your parents applying sun blocks have already given you a head start, but continuing to use sun blocks is not the only answer. Starting a good skin care regimen will help prevent further damage as aging continues and other environmental factors  (i.e., diet, smoking, etc.) occur.

Even if one cannot afford non-surgical options, such as lasers, peels,  or surgical options such as eyelid lifts, face and neck lifts, a good at home skin care system can still provide the benefit of healthy, young looking skin, which is affordable for most.  Some systems can actually tighten the skin, delaying the necessity of more invasive non-surgical as well as surgical procedures.

The question then arises, with the myriad of skin systems touting their claims of  “anti-aging,” how does one know which products really do work and which are a waste of money?

First of all, the system should be “Cosmeceutical”.  What does this mean?  Cosmeceutical grade systems  are a combination of ingredients that can be as effective as prescription strength and thus have demonstrated that they actually do live up to their claims.  In addition, the systems should have a “delivery system” that allows the ingredients in the product to actually penetrate the skin and repair the “cells” that produce the skin instead of just affecting the very top layer of the skin.  Since the top layer of skin continues to slough throughout one’s life, it makes sense that simply treating the top layer is only “Band-Aid” therapy.  Only by repairing cells can we produce long-lasting healthy skin.

Get beautiful skin forever!

So how does one chose an effective skin care system?   Generally those sold at physician’s offices are actual “Cosemeceuticals”  Making an appointment with an qualified aesthetician would be a good first step.
