WHEN SHOULD I START USING ANTI-AGING CREAM?

You should actually start using anti-aging cream at a very young age…and that cream should come in the form of sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. While we often think that aging is the cause of wrinkles and a loss of volume in the face, the truth is that the sun plays the biggest role.

The best approach is to start protecting your skin against the elements immediately, before wrinkles start to appear. You’re never too young to start. You don’t have to spend enormous amounts of money to have beautiful skin. You need to cleanse your skin morning and night (we often recommend the Obagi 360 skin care system) followed by exfoliation with Retin-A or an acid based product such as Glycolic acid 15%-20%.

Skincare products with Retin-A and/or anti-oxidants help restore, repair, or prevent the progression of aging skin. These products should be pharmaceutical grade meaning you should only be able to purchase them from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that anything that you can buy from the local drug store is not going to be as effective.

After applying the exfoliation product you need to apply a moisturizer morning and night and in the morning finish by applying a sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF.  If you follow this regimen you will start to have skin that is more toned and beautiful.
