Anti Aging Skincare

What does anti aging skincare really mean?

There are a few things you simply MUST know about anti aging skincare.  First, here’s an important skin fact that our 8 year old daughter is very proud to have learned, and very eager to pass on: “You know, our skin is the body’s largest ORGAN Mommy!”

To better understand the skin, click here for additional skin facts.

That’s right, technically, the skin is an organ. Now how would you treat your heart, or your liver, or your kidneys if they were on the outside of your body? Splash ’em with a little water, slap on some lotion and run out the door? I don’t think so!! Your skin is the body’s outer layer of anti-aging defense, and should be protected and reinforced at all costs!

Now here’s one of the least publicized but most important anti aging secrets:

It has been clinically proven that anti aging remedies that are able to reach the dermis level are much more effective than topical creams and ointments. Hold onto that thought, because there is an amazing anti aging discovery that can help make that happen and we’ll talk about it in detail later.

No ingredient in the world will be really effective without being able to penetrate the epidermis, and get down into the dermis, deep inside the skin.

Almost all of the THOUSANDS of anti aging skin care products;  the best anti aging creams, anti aging serums, anti wrinkle cream, etc. etc. are TOPICAL. Meaning no matter how much you slather on, it basically sits on top of your skin until it is washed or rubbed off.  About the time we hit our mid-20’s, our bodies stop producing as much collagen, elastin, etc… You know, the good stuff we really need to keep our youthful looking skin.

First, let’s take a simple look at WHY our skin looks and feels worse as we age.

With this drop-off of essential proteins, our skin begins to lose elasticity, sag and then wrinkle.

In fact, free radicals are not only linked to aging at the cellular level, but are also linked to causing many diseases and illnesses including cancers of all types.

On top of this, the sun, the environment, and personal choices such as smoking or other unhealthy habits, are constantly attacking our skin and bodies by forming free radicals, those pesky molecules that cause even further damage to our skin.

Antioxidants, largely found in brightly colored vegetables and fruits, are natural free-radical exterminators.

So at the most basic level, you must protect your body and skin from these free radical molecules that are constantly threatening healthy cells.

That means your anti aging skincare regimen should use products that are rich in antioxidants, and then deliver those antioxidants to where they can do the most good.

For topical products, it’s important to first have a good quality anti aging facewash. I have an excellent facewash with active Vitamin C, which targets age spots, firms skin, and diminishes wrinkles. I demonstrate this facewash in my video on “Fight Aging from the Outside.” Using a good quality anti-aging facewash is the first step to looking younger and having healthier skin.

Once you have a good quality face wash, you need a good quality day moisturizer. My absolute favorite is this anti-aging gene-based day lotion with SPF 22. It diminishes fine lines & wrinkles, tightens pores, smoothes, softens, & brightens skin, reduces discoloration.

Once you have a good quality face wash & day moisturizer, you need a good quality Night Moisturizer. My favorite is a night cream that transforms your skin. I have clients that order it on a monthly basis. This rich hydrating cream dramatically reduces the look of fine lines & wrinkles. Youthful skin cell turnover reduces the appearance of pores, and smoothes & softens the texture of your skin.

Once you have a good quality anti-aging facewash, day cream, and night cream, you want to have a good quality anti-aging serum. Two pumps in the morning, two pumps at night. Within 7 days, I saw a difference in my skin! Diminished lines & wrinkles, firmer skin, smaller pores, smoother surface, diminished brown spots, brighter, hydrated, radiant skin! This serum won #1 Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Product from Total Beauty!
