Skin health is directly linked to the proper function of the skin cells and your body’s own immune mechanisms. Genetics, sun exposure, smoking, hormones, medications, diets, disease and use of topical skin products can all affect the process of ageing. The success of any treatment is dependent upon regulating, and restoring proper skin cell function. Our skin, as the largest organ, is overexposed to environmental damage, in particular sun damage. Inherent processes within our body are also attacking our skin from within. Extensive research has shown that high quality cosmeceuticals (i.e. pharmaceutical married with cosmetic products) can significant anti-ageing benefits through their protective, corrective and preventative action. These products can be used for a variety of skin conditions and in both women and men. What steps should I take for good skin care? A should remove impurities and make-up without damaging the skin, as well as controlling sebum production. This is important for oily skin as sebum reduces the effect of other topical agents. Cleansers Acne skin use an exfoliating wash which combines hydroxy acids, e.g. Foaming Glycolic wash (AHA 20) by NeoStrata, or Blemish and Age cleansing gel by Skinceuticals Normal or dry skin a light cream cleanser with a moisturising formula to gently cleanse the skin and leave it smoothly textured, e.g. gentle cleansing cream by Skinceuticals, or Cream Cleanse by Medik8 Toners If make-up is heavy or your face feels oily, a toner can remove any last traces of debris and balance skin, as well as improving the penetration of treatment creams and serums that follow its application.

Fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, and loss of elasticity can become more visible. These signs can be the result of collagen breakdown, slower cell turnover, and loss of moisture. Damage is intensified by sun exposure, environmental elements, and smoking. A strong preventative programme is critical to help further damage from these factors. The preventative action of anti-oxidants is well researched and documented. Free radicals are generated from biochemical reactions in the skin and environmental stress such as exposure to pollutants and UV radiation, as well as ageing which can deplete the skin of protective anti-oxidants. As the organ exposed directly to the environment, the skin needs help to protect against these free radicals, and to damage to skin cells. Anti-oxidants can œmop up these free radicals, and thus are an group of agents to prevent and reduce the severity of UV-induced skin damage and skin ageing. Although there are many known anti-oxidant substances, the effect is limited if they fail to penetrate the skin, and hence not all are the same.

It helps to maintain the skin’s strength and elasticity, but it declines as we age. By regenerating fresh stores of this protein and remodelling existing stores, the skin becomes smoother, firmer and more elastic as a result.
