Anti-Aging Treatments
The symptoms associated with skin aging can be minimized significantly by wearing regular sun protection, but even when your skin is already damaged, there are treatments that can give it a more youthful appearance. As skin ages, it loses its firmness and elasticity, leading to wrinkles and lines as well as skin laxity. More mature skin has less luster and brightness as skin cell turnover slows down and dead skin cells build up. Fortunately, there are treatments you can use at home to visibly improve the appearance of more mature skin.
Skin care products that contain Retinol or Alpha Hydroxy Acid increase skin cell turnover so that dead skin cells are shed more rapidly. This brightens skin and lightens areas of pigmentation due to sun exposure over time. Plus, these ingredients boost the synthesis of collagen and elastin that lie deep in the dermis of the skin. These proteins are essential for giving skin firmness and the ability to "bounce back" that makes it look youthful. Topical Vitamin C also helps to promote collagen synthesis and brighten skin. Natural botanicals like Green Tea Extract, Caffeine, Chamomile, Soy and Coffeeberry, among others, have anti-aging benefits that protect skin against oxidative damage that comes from exposure to the environment. Of course, sun protection is also a must.

Additional Anti-Aging Treatments Information
Also available in some skin care products are protein fragments called peptides that have a number of anti-aging benefits. Some peptides boost collagen production or have properties similar to Botox while others have other skin rejuvenating benefits. A number of skin care products available without prescription are formulated with one or more peptides to repair skin and give it a more youthful appearance.
Red light phototherapy penetrates beneath the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin's firmness and resistance to wrinkling. This can be performed at home as an alternative to more expensive laser treatments that require recovery time. In addition, exfoliating facial scrubs and peels remove dead skin cells that block healthier skin cells and instantly give skin a brighter, more youthful look.
