Fish with omega 3 fatty acids and proteins like chicken and lean meat as well as flax seeds are known to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
It is also wise to avoid smoking as cigarette smoke and tar deprive the skin of the nutrients and oxygen it needs, ultimately leaving it looking dull and lifeless. They lead to the formation of harmful free radicals and weaken the collagen and elastin fibres, with the result that the skin becomes prematurely wrinkled. In order to prevent the skin from looking tired and fatigued, regular daily protection against the sun from an early age, combined with the regular use of well-formulated moisturisers, is necessary. Basic skin care should comprise of cleansing regularly with mild products. Avoid the sun. Use a daily sunscreen against UVA and UVB, and a night moisturiser as well. Well-formulated anti-ageing products can help fight multiple signs of ageing. In later years use heavier-duty moisturisers, particularly at night to keep the skin well hydrated.
Among the anti-ageing creams, those containing Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), often called 'fruit acids, are known to speed up cell renewal; lactic and glycolic acids are widely used. Retinol 0.15% cream, creams containing pentapeptides and certain botanical extracts improve skin tone and texture and reduce fine lines.
There are many anti-ageing treatments done by cosmetic dermatologists. Alpha hydroxy peels improve skin tone and prevent fine lines. Infrared lasers are used to tighten the skin and improve the sagging skin. Non-ablative and fractional lasers are used to improve fine lines, open pores and to rejuvenate the skin. Neurotoxins are injected to treat dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, sagging jawlines and neck bands. Dermal fillers are injected to treat laughter lines, sunken cheeks, sunken eyes, flat nose, wrinkled hands and to plump up the thin lips. Radiofrequency surgery is done to remove skin tags, warts and moles.
Ageing gracefully is an old adage. Now with all the safe and modern treatments available, it is the time to age beautifully and confidently!
