While you can’t slow down or stop the effects of chronologic aging, you can do something to inhibit the skin damage caused by excessive and chronic sun exposure. To avoid skin damage from sun exposure, always use a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 or higher, a hat with a brim, and protective covering of arms and legs. Don’t deliberately sunbathe, and limit sun exposure during the 10 AM to 4 PM hours of greatest sun intensity. Avoid deliberate tanning in tanning salons or under sun lamps. If your skin is already sun damaged you can still benefit from these measures.

The skin damage caused by long-term cigarette smoke is avoided by smoking cessation.

The aging of the skin is mainly due to solar exposure and loss of hormones for example growth hormone, testosterone and estrogen. These two factors lead to excessive oxidation of collagen and elastin fibres resulting in ’crossing’. In newer skin, these fibres are usually found in thick bundles spread evenly under the skin surface. This ‘crossing’ leads to dimples and sagging of the skin.

It is impossible to stop the natural aging process; however it is possible to delay it. There are many options available to achieve this, including cosmetic surgery and medical treatments, however the most popular and most cost efficient solution, other than eating well and exercising regularly, is the use of anti aging products. These products can be for both - internal and external treatment.

Internal products should contain oxidants for example vitamins C and E, pyenogenol and grape seed extract. External products should be exfoliating to enable the superficial removal of dead skin cells.

The skin care market is extremely wide and there are many different variations of products for all skin types. Leading brands include Lancôme, Elizabeth Arden, L’Oreal and Clarins. The choice between these products lies in the hands of the customer depending on their individual needs. Price is also a major factor in purchasing as a worthwhile anti aging regime may not just require one product. The customer may require an exfoliator to firstly remove the dead skin cells, followed by an aromatic plant cream, which moisturizes the skin, moisture being one of the main factors in delaying the aging process. Firming cream may also be beneficial, which stabilizes body contours and tones the skin. Revitalizing cream is generally applied before going to bed, as it assists the skin renewal process, therefore regenerating and smoothing the skin, reducing wrinkles.

Prices vary from $10 to $200 per product and are available from department stalls, shopping malls and over the internet. It is therefore advisable to seek advice as to which products would best suit your skin type, beauticians are usually more than happy to advise before purchase.

It is important to understand that the earlier a person begins to look after their skin the longer their skin will look young and healthy. It is beneficial to ensure that make-up includes sun block and if not, it is applied prior to being exposed.

excessive – чрезмерный, излишний

fibre - волокно

dimple – ямка, впадина

sagging – обвисание

beneficial – полезный, благотворный
