Skincare through the Decades

 20’s- Time to start good habits and preventive care such as limited sun exposure, lots of water and no smoking! Use a gentle cleanser, and a good sunblock (should shield out UVA/UVB) with an SPF of 15-20. I would also recommend some type of retinoid or alpha hydroxy  acid to help prevent wrinkles from starting and if acne is an issue it should help with that as well. 

30’s-Starting to  see early signs of sun  damage and fine lines,  so I would recommend adding products that are antioxidant which decrease free radicals and increase sun protection  like topical vitamim C, coffee berry extract, vitamin E.  Also start with alpha hydroxy acids or retinoids to gently exfoliate the skin.  30’s is definitely a great time to start botox to slow the formation of wrinkles.

 40’s-Fine lines deepen and you may start to notice loss of collagen, and your skin is just not as firm as it was in your 30’s.  You may also notice more sun and age spots developing.  So my recommendations would be definitely to start on Retin A at night  3-4 times per week, antioxidants, SPF with moisturizer in the morning and glycolic peels every month or every other month, hydroquinone (prescription strength 4% for the sun and age spots) botox and dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse and procedures like Fraxel and Fractional CO2 when necessary.  

50’s- In your 50’s you start noticing changes in the deep facial structures, such as collagen loss which leads to a sagging jawline and loss of elasticity. So some recommendations would be prescription strength Retin-A, a day cream with Vitamin C or another form of antioxidant, moisturizer at night.  Some laser procedures that can help restore  your skin’s texture would be things Fraxel, Fractional CO2 and skin tightening treatments such as Thermage and Titan
