Tips

  • Clinical studies on anti aging skin treatment, performed by the Department of Medicine, University of Liverpool in United Kingdom indicated that "A number of micronutrients have been suggested to have metabolic properties that could induce this protection, and published data indicate that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are particularly effective in this role".
  • Another study from the Department of Dermatology, University of California indicates that "the supplementation of diets with appropriate purified vegetable oils and/or fish oil may generate local cutaneous anti-inflammatory metabolites ... for the management of skin inflammatory disorders".

Warnings

  • As you age, you are at increased risk for skin injury. Your skin is thinner, more fragile and the protective subcutaneous fat layer is lost. In addition, your ability to sense touch, pressure, vibration, heat and cold may be reduced. Therefore, your aging skin is at higher risk for injury. Consequently, appropriate anti aging skin treatment and prevention is vital.
  • Natural pigments seem to provide some protection against sun-induced skin damage. Blue-eyed, fair-skinned people show more aging skin changes than people with darker, more heavily pigmented skin.
  • Changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin's strength and elasticity. This is known as elastosis and is especially pronounced in sun-exposed areas (solar elastosis). Elastosis produces the leathery, weather-beaten appearance common to farmers, sailors, and others who spend a large portion of their life outdoors.
  • The greatest threat to your skin is sun exposure. If you compare areas of your body that have regular sun exposure with areas that are protected from sunlight, you will likely observe a significant difference in skin condition. Therefore, avoid being overexposed to sun.
