Getting under your skin?
By Shereen Low, The Journal


Beauty, Skin

Few of us are content with our complexions - how often have you stood in front of the mirror, focusing on your flaws, staring at any wrinkles, lines and saggy skin?

Not only do we start worrying about how old we look, and how youthful we'd like our skin to be, but we're also willing to spend money on products promising to turn back the years.

But according to Dr Nick Lowe, consultant dermatologist and author of Away With Wrinkles, expensive products just aren't always worth it.

"More expensive does not necessarily mean more effective. A great variety of creams can be found containing just about anything and costing a fortune to buy."

Instead, he suggests finding a cream that includes humectants such as glycerine or sodium hydronate, antioxidant mixtures like vitamin E or vitamin C, and low levels of retinoids such as retinol, retinaldehyde and vitamin A. Likewise, moisturisers with the right concentration of fruit acids can also help.

"The best time to apply a rejuvenating cream is at night, so it doesn't mix with day protection," he adds. "As for the serum and cream debate, whichever one you choose will depend on your preference.

"When you're choosing a moisturiser, beware of exotic-sounding names - check the ingredients and insist on testing it on your skin."

And if you can't decide, he suggests visiting a dermatologist. "If you have sensitive skin, skin problems like eczema, or sun damage, see a dermatologist, who will be able to give you impartial and sensible advice on what to use."

You should also start protecting your skin as early as possible, to reduce the risk of skin cancer and ageing, he stresses.

"If you have been exposed to the sun, you've used tanning beds irresponsibly, or you smoke, you may see accelerated signs of ageing. As soon as you see those early signs, you should start using creams or procedures, if that's what is needed.

"The treatments you choose to have will depend on how aggressive those signs are on your skin, and also how it impacts on your life. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion and fillers like Botox can look natural and not grotesque."

If you have your heart set on cosmetic surgery, Nick has some tips. "If you're considering surgery, go and see a trained specialist and don't get hoodwinked into advertising claims.

"Find out about the different skin-rejuvenating procedures, and don't get pushed or rushed into anything. Cosmetic surgery is not an emergency, so take the time to do your homework - arm yourself with knowledge.

"Ask if the specialist will do the treatment themselves - Botox and filler injections should never be delegated."

WHAT REALLY WORKS

It may sound like a cliche, but giving up smoking, wearing sunscreen, drinking plenty of water and reducing your alcohol and caffeine intake really do help.

Eating nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, grains and beans are natural antioxidants, and exercising will improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the skin - both can lead to younger-looking, healthier and more radiant skin.

Nick also bursts the myth about facial exercises, saying: "The commonly-held belief that facial muscles should be toned and exercised in order to delay ageing of the face is nothing more than a beauty-industry and media-hyped myth.

"For most of the face, the reverse is true, and exercising the muscles of the upper face by increasing muscle action in that area can lead to a significantly increased number of lines around the eyes, forehead and mouth." Read More.....
