Many women ask, besides wearing sunscreen, what other measures can be taken to prevent the signs of aging when you’re in your 20s, 30s and 40s? Dr. Nava Greenfield has a few tips on how to protect the skin and keep fine lines, sun damage and wrinkles at bay:
- Incorporate chemical exfoliation into your skincare routine. Glycolic acid is great ingredient to add to your face wash or moisturizer to keep facial skin looking bright and healthy.
- Invest in a Fraxel laser treatment.Although there is down time, it is one of the most powerful tools we have to treat fine lines and wrinkles and even out the texture.
- Use a neck cream. Don’t ignore your neck when you’re young. A good neck specific cream can go a long way to decreasing signs of aging and crepiness.
- Protect your hands: The sun damage on our hands may show your age more than facial wrinkles.
- Wear SPF even if you’re indoors. Protecting from UVA that can penetrate through glass windows in cars and homes is an important preventative measure.
