In this article today, I would like to share some tips, tricks, and techniques that you can use to quickly and easily make your skin look young no matter how old you are.
As a society, we spend billions of dollars each year purchasing every imaginable form of cosmetic product to help us look young and healthy. Are we spending our money wisely? In this article today, I am going to discuss several things you can do to help your skin look young again.
First I would like to discuss how to repair minor sun damage. The fact is, years and years of sun exposure can leave your skin looking wrinkled and lined. The best thing to do for minor sun damage is to use a prescription called tretinoin or Retin-A. It can often take several months to have any kind of noticeable effect, but it does help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Surprisingly, it also promotes the growth of new tissue.
The downside is that it can sometimes cause certain types of skin irritation that may require you to use it less often.
Next, I’d like to discuss more severe sun damage. If you have more severe skin damage, a skin peel may be necessary. What this entails is basically not that complicated. What you do is apply acid to burn off the damaged outer layer of skin. Of course, this is not something you would do yourself, rather it is something your dermatologist will do in their office in a medical setting.
Of course, there are some drawbacks when it comes to this type of technique. The most obvious is bread. An acid peel can be incredibly painful and can leave your skin red and raw for many days. Most people tend to hide after the procedure is done until their skin returns to normal.
If acid peels aren’t your thing, then you can try another technique. When you get to the bottom of it, the most effective way to remove wrinkles and severe sun damage is something known as laser resurfacing. With laser resurfacing, a doctor actually uses a laser to vaporize the outer layer of your skin. It sounds very high-tech and I suppose it is. It will get rid of wrinkles as well as brown spots and sometimes even pre-cancerous cells. The downside is that it involves almost 2 weeks of recovery time.
Of course, it’s best to avoid skin problems in the first place by living out of the sun as much as possible. Of course, hindsight is 2020 and most of us no longer have this option, but if you’re starting at a young age, it may be worth consciously avoiding the sun as much as possible.
So there you have several tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to make your skin look young again.
