Do you even care about anti-aging?

Are you the next generation or the first generation for anti-aging products?  As African Americans, it’s no secret that we ‘mature’ differently than other people.

Anti-aging is no longer defined by fine lines and minimizing wrinkles.  The ‘trick’ for youthful healthy skin lies in skin that’s hydrated, supple and evenly toned and textured.

Even though no two of you are alike in your skin care needs, it’s possible that you want a product that will address dehydration, skin discoloration and loss of elasticity.

Guess what?  Beauty products geared towards anti-aging aren’t just for baby boomers anymore.  Skin care begins early, especially preventive measures of taking care of your skin, black skin.

If you wait until you’re in your 40’-50’s and you’re just beginning to take care of your skin, possible challenges will be much greater than if you start in your 20’s.

Anti-Aging Ingredients

Some of the most popular anti-aging ingredients include human growth hormones and stem cells, new antioxidants and peptides.

Some of the more natural ingredients that have become part of the anti-aging family are Vitamin E, shea butter and coenzyme Q10.

Compatibility of ingredients is the key in how effective your product will be.  If the ingredients are compatible with each other you will get more bang for your bucks.  Because your skin is made up of many different components a combination of products will be needed to treat your challenges.

Example:  you may have dead skin cell build up, products that contains glycolic acid or jojoba wax beads are known for exfoliating the skin.  Glycolic acid will also help in strengthening collagen and increasing your cell renewal.

But you wouldn’t stop your treatment at this phase.  It’s time to hydrate and moisturize.  Hyaluronic acids, which are known to deliver moisture to your skin, are also known to provide a healthy environment for the growth of new cells.

Other natural ingredients such as Rose hip, which makes your skin more elastic, helping you look younger and Avocado which is a great moisturizer for maturing black skin, are ingredients that you’ll want to find in your skin care line.

Skin Care Regimen for Mature Black Skin

Maturing skin needs a simple regimen, cleanse, tone and moisturize on a daily basis.  Once a week a good masque, depending on your skin type it should be one that hydrates or removes excess oil.  Once a week a non-invasive exfoliating treatment.

What do I mean by non-invasive? You don’t want to use any type of product that will have you scrubbing the layers of your skin to the point of redness and bruising or acid peels that will cause similar conditions.

A facial serum that will nourish your skin topically makes for a good addition twice a week.

The best thing you can do for your skin is to eat healthy nutritious foods that consist of lots of green vegetables and fruits in season, clean water and lots of rest.

No product alone can give you the end results you seek, which is healthy beautiful skin.  Lifestyle, nutrition and topical products,  all working together, will help you get that flawless complexion you seek.
