Accurate
information regarding the multitude of anti-aging
treatments flooding the marketplace is the
best way to make informed decisions for developing
your own skin rejuvenation regime which incorporates
the anti-aging skin care techniques, strategies
and treatments that best address your personal
aging skin issues.
The basics of effective skin rejuvenation
begin with the facts on anti-aging skin care
treatments. There are several active ingredients
that have been clinically proven to be effective
skin rejuvenators. One of the most effective
treatments is vitamin A derivatives such a
retinol or retinyl palmitate.
The Retin A or Renova vitamin A treatments
are the strongest although the most irritating
treatments of the vitamin A options and are
only available by prescription. If your skin
needs major rejuvenation attention, ask your
Doctor if you are a candidate for the prescription
vitamin A treatment of Retin A or Renova.
If not, including one of the other retinol
alternatives in your skin care routine is
an excellent strategy. The concentration of
over-the-counter retinol products can range
up to 1%. The basic rule of thumb is, the
higher the concentration, the stronger the
treatment. Be forewarned though, read the
directions carefully because the stronger
retinol products can be quite irritating to
the skin. Starting slow and gradually working
your way up to higher concentrations will
allow you skin to adjust to the treatments
better. The vitamin A derivative, Retinyl
Palmitate, is the less irritating of the Vitamin
A options and is considered to have quite
effective rejuvenating qualities.
The next most beneficial anti-aging skin rejuvenation
treatment is a chemical exfoliant such as
an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) or beta hydroxyl
acid (BHA) product. The most popular of these
acids is an AHA glycolic acid. Glycolic acid
should be use in concentrations of 8% to 15%
depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
Start out with a lower concentration and gradually
move up to a 10% then 15% concentration depending
on your skin’s tolerance in order to
avoid irritation.
The last consideration is including an antioxidant
to contain the skin damaging free radicals
as well as to encourage overall skin repair.
Products containing Vitamin C Ester, Spin
Trap, or CoQ10 are all good options to explore.
Then, of course, there are other viable anti-aging
treatments which can be incorporated into
your regime depending on your particular skin
rejuvenation needs which include DMAE, Kinerase
or Kinetin, and GHK Copper Peptides. Finally,
the most critical and essential aspect to
any successful skin rejuvenation regime is
sunscreen, at least once a day, each and every
day!
