Anti-Aging Treatment Benefit Your Skin

How a Regular Anti-Aging Regimen Can Benefit Your Skin
by Erich Shrefler

Anti-aging treatment is something people tend to begin thinking about when those little wrinkles start appearing on their face. But it isn't only the skin of your face which ages. Your entire body slows its production of collagen as you get older, allowing sun spots to develop, hair to grow where you'd rather it not, and causing you to look older than you feel.

When we start to notice these things happening, many of us begin to look at advertisements for facial fillers and facelifts with longing that we never experienced before. But even if you aren't facing the mirror each morning and seeing your mother or grandmother where your face used to be, here are some considerations to keep in mind when you think about when to begin your anti-aging regime.

Your Skin is Fragile
When doctors tell us to use sun block every time we leave the house, many of us wave off the recommendation. We know it is important for children, who might forget the time and play too long in the sun, or if we're going to the beach and know we will be exposed for a long period of time, but a think walk to and from the car a couple times a day won't hurt our skin. But we are wrong.

Every exposure to sunlight and harsh weather takes its toll on your skin, and just walking to and from the car a few times a day can add up to a half-hour of exposure or even longer. Aging means your skin loses its natural resources to recover as quickly or easily from these brief periods of exposure.

Appearances Change with Age
Even the most dedicated sunscreen wearer fill find their skin beginning to sag and wrinkle with age due to the loss of collagen in the skin. Not only does the surface of your skin begin to deteriorate, but the lower layers of your skin lose their elasticity, too.

Slowing the Process
Although we all know Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth, it is still possible to slow down the affects of age on your skin. You may think that you will just wait until you are so unhappy with your appearance that you will feel ready to resort to a facelift or ask your cosmetic surgeon for dermal fillers, but there are anti-aging steps you can take now to avoid the necessity for a facelift in the future.

A regular anti-aging regimen does more than just keep your skin looking clean and healthy. It can also stimulate the growth of collage and new skin so they never lose their elasticity. Regular anti-aging practices will not only help you look younger to others, but look the way you feel on the inside, keeping yourself feeling fresher and more energetic when facing those harsh elements.
