BEST ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE INGREDIENTS

There’s No Magic Wand, But …

A number of ingredients in over-the-countertreatments may help your skin appear moreyouthful, but it’ll take time. You may seeimprovement within a few months. But youshouldn't expect to look like you’ve steppedout of a time machine.What will work best for you will depend onyour skin, and the results you're trying toget.

For Wrinkles: Retinol, Vitamin C

If you have fine lines, retinoids (which come
from vitamin A) like retinol may make your
skin smoother because they help your skin
make more collagen. It’s easier on your skin
than the prescription-strength version,
tretinoin (Retin-A), which can dry your skin.
Products with vitamin C may help take away
fine lines, as well as help lessen the damage
the sun does to your skin. That could help
keep wrinkles away.

For Sagging Skin: Peptides, Ceramides

Treatments with topical growth factors or
peptides could help firm sagging skin.
Peptides are groups of amino acids
that help make proteins, including
collagen. That's the main protein found in
your skin.
Daily moisturizer with ceramides -- fats
found in the layers of your skin that you
lose as you age -- are an option, too -- and
they're usually cheaper..

For Age Spots: Hydroquinone, Retinoids,

Vitamin C, Kojic Acid
Hydroquinone, an over-the-counter drug that can
bleach your skin, may fade dark spots. Retinoids
may make your skin tone more even. One study
says vitamin C helps fade age spots when you
use it for 12 weeks. Kojic acid -- a chemical that's
often used as an skin-whitening ingredient in
products -- can do it, too.
When you use any of these, make sure to wear
sunscreen. Your dark spots may come back if your
skin gets too much sunlight.

For Uneven Skin Tone: AHAs,

Retinoids
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) remove
dead skin cells. This could help to
reveal new ones with a more even tone.
Retinoids can do the same thing. Both
can irritate your skin, so use them with
caution if yours is dry or sensitive.

For Dull Skin: AHAs, Retinoids

If you smoke or if your skin is dry,
you’re more likely to have dull skin.
A moisturizer may make it look
fuller and firmer. Alpha hydroxy
acids and retinoids (like
retinol) could brighten your skin
when they remove dead skin cells.

Which Strength Do I Need?

Some over-the-counter products only
come in one strength. Others have
different levels of the active
ingredient. If you choose
something that might dry or irritate
your skin -- like retinol -- start with
the lowest strength and get used to it
before you try something stronger.

How Should I Apply Them?

If you use more than one anti-aging
skin product, put the one with an
active ingredient on first so that your
skin absorbs it better. For example,
in the morning, put a vitamin C
product on first, sunscreen next, and
makeup last. At bedtime, apply
retinol first and moisturizer after that.

Need Help With Your Decision?

If your skin care products irritate
your skin, there are other options
you can try. Having trouble finding
the right combination? Talk with a
dermatologist. They can help you
find a safe choice that will make
your skin look and feel better.


Thank You

It’s a short, rapid-fire series of exercises that use your own body weight. Start with something you learned in elementary school: jumping jacks. Stand up with your legs spread and your hands touching overhead. Then as you jump, bring your legs back together and put your arms to your sides. You can speed these up or slow them down to suit your fitness level. Do this for 30 seconds, take a 10-second break, and go right to the next move.   Wall Sits Stand with your back to a wall, feet hip-width apart and slightly in front of you. Lean back into the wall, and slide down like you’re sitting down into a chair. Your knees should finish above your ankles, bent at 90 degrees. Hold this position for 30 seconds. There are 12 exercises. Each should take 30 second...
