As the years go by, it’s inevitable that our skin will age along with the rest of us. Unfortunately, as our faces and necks are constantly visable, any fine lines and wrinkles, spots or discoloration are always on display for us and others to see. These skin imperfections can look unsightly, but they also can cause us to look older and less healthy. Luckily, a number of options exist to reduce the signs of aging and minimize the negative impact it has on our lives. Have a look at the following suggestions.
Wear make-up
Many people don’t realize that make-up doesn’t have to be obvious to be effective. Carefully chosen cosmetics can be used by both men and women to disguise and conceal unwanted changes to the skin, discreetly yet effectively. While make up can be a helpful temporary option, the inconvenience of having to constantly reapply concealing products and the cost of suitable products means that this isn’t a permanent solution. For many of us, a laser skin resurfacing procedure is the most appealing and effective option.
Sun Protection
Too much sun exposure is a leading cause of skin aging, making applying sunscreen with an SPF over 30 essential. Research indicates that reducing sun exposure not only reduces the severity of wrinkles, but can also lessen the chances of unwelcome skin pigmentation and minimize the risk of developing a skin cancer. Unfortunately, sun protection can’t reverse the damage to your skin that has already been done. Laser skin resurfacing is a proven solution to help restore damaged skin back to its youthful appearance.
Laser skin resurfacing is an excellent option to improve your skin’s texture and color, giving excellent results at an affordable price. Laser skin resurfacing involves the removal of the first few layers of skin tissue, allowing healthier, fresher tissue to grow in its place. It can remove skin imperfections without the need for a general anesthetic.
