In order to maintain healthy, brighter skin, preventative skincare is essential. Studies indicate that collagen synthesis declines by 1% after age 25, and normal skin cell turnover slows down. Even if it is seen as preventive now, adapting your routine to your skin’s needs can help maintain its vitality over time.
Skincare Prevention
It is important to take precautions to prevent the development of lines, wrinkles, and other age-related changes in the skin so that you can maintain your youthful appearance and delay aging. A preventative skincare routine should include retinol, vitamin C, sunscreen, and exfoliation to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Preventive Skincare Components You Should Know
Vitamin A
To maintain healthy skin and jumpstart collagen production, retinol is a great ingredient. The process of cell turnover can be accelerated, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and acne breakouts. However, it can be irritating, so choose a formulation and concentration that is suitable for your skin type.
Recommendations
A blend of retinol and botanical extracts in Skin Ceuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining Night Cream helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Wear sunscreen
A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 should be worn daily, along with a wide-brimmed hat, sun-protective clothing, and SPF makeup.
Recommendations
With PCA Skin Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45, you can protect against UV damage, hydrate, and absorb quickly. Supergoop’s Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 also works well.
Maintaining hydration
Dr. Peredo recommends using a moisturizer twice a day to slow down the appearance of aging and to temporarily plump up the skin.
Recommendations
For dry skin, we recommend Sunday Riley ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream, which provides moisture and strengthens the skin’s barrier.
Vitamin C
The antioxidant can brighten dark spots, prevent free radical damage, and reverse sun damage, but products containing harmful ingredients should be avoided.
Recommendations
With squalene and antioxidant protection, Revision Vitamin C Lotion 30% brightens dull-looking skin.
Creams for the eyes
Eye creams can reduce signs of aging by reducing concerns as well as plumping the skin for optimal preventative skincare around the eyes.
Recommendations
With caffeine and peptides, Gel-based under-eye creams, like Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Gel, reduce puffiness and feel cooling.
