PREMATURE AGING SKIN
What causes my skin to age prematurely?
- Dead skin cell build-up
- Dehydration-Your skin is only as hydrated as the amount of water it contains. Dehydration can also be caused by too much exposure to elements such as wind, cold, sun, showers that are too hot, chlorine, and sea water.
- Lack of properly sealing moisture into the skin. This is different from hydration. Your skin needs a good cream, or sealant, as we call it, to seal water into the skin.
- Too much suntanning. Suntanning, whether through direct sunlight or tanning beds, can dehydrate your skin and cause premature wrinkling and aging.
- Exfoliate daily. Thoroughly exfoliate dead skin cells on a daily basis. This prevents and softens lines and wrinkles and repairs sun damage.
- Hydrate your skin. This helps to give thirsty skin much-needed water.
- Use a tonic mist. Add water to your skin by spraying tonic mists onto your skin throughout the day,. These can be sprayed right over makeup, too.
- Seal the moisture into your skin.
- Protect your skin. Use sunscreen daily, 365 days a year. This step helps to prevent future sun damage and eliminate dark spots. For troublesome dark spots and freckles, use a skin-lightening lotion to lighten and brighten the skin.
