It’s never too early to start an anti-aging regimen to keep your skin looking healthy and youthful. Anti-aging products provide a number of benefits, from preventing the formation of wrinkles to helping reduce dark spots. Taking preventative steps as early as your 20s can help your skin in the long run.
What to include in your program
Since skin slowly starts to lose collagen in our 20s and 30s, that’s the best time to start using anti-aging products. Skin types vary, so it’s best to talk with a professional to develop a tailored skincare plan. Still, there are broad guidelines that can benefit anyone.
- Use sunscreen every day, no matter what your age. It’s easy to make it part of your daily routine by choosing a moisturizer, foundation, or makeup primer with built-in SPF.
- Topical vitamin A-based drugs called retinoids, such as retinol, are the most used and studied anti-aging compound, and have been shown to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and face spots; even-out pigmentation; and speed the turnover of superficial skin cells. Retinoids work by increasing the production of collagen.
- Exfoliating is a worthwhile practice to start in your teens and continue regularly, as it promotes smooth skin and minimizes pores.
- Chemical peels remove the top layer of the skin to treat discolored skin, enlarged pores, scars, acne, or wrinkles.
- Preventative Botox or Dysport treatments can start in your 20s and can keep lines from setting into deep wrinkles.
