As much as we try to prevent or deny it, aging is inevitable. Historically, skin care products were marketed to older women as “anti-aging” or “age prevention,” but a best practice for this mindset is to embrace the aging process and adopt healthy skin care habits. Elena Cadena, Licensed Esthetician at eleMINT Skin Health & Wellness Studio, likes to refer to this as age management rather than anti-aging. While it’s best to start at a young age, it’s never too late to start a skincare routine for a healthy and resilient epidermis.

“The biggest tip I would recommend is to keep the skin healthy, because healthy skin is going to give that radiance and sustain that radiance,” Cadena said.

Through the years, our skin begins to show signs of aging, including wrinkles, sagging, age spots, and can even become unhealthy. Some symptoms of unhealthy skin can include dry or tight skin, unmanageable oily spots and/or splotchy redness on your cheeks or all over your face. If you feel burning or tingly anytime you apply products to your face, that could also be a sign of unhealthy skin in need of barrier repair. Unfortunately, skin damage is not reversible, but working towards healthy skin as early as possible can help with the appearance of the various aging symptoms.

Cadena shares three tips on how to practice healthy aging.

  1. Protect your skin from the sun.

The sun can be great for your physical and mental health, but it can also do a number to your skin, including collagen breakdown and hyperpigmentation. Applying an SPF, between 30 to 50, daily for every two to three hours and/or wearing some sort of physical protection, like a hat, is really important in providing protection from overexposure to the sun’s UV rays.

  1. Keep your skin hydrated.

Having skin that isn’t very hydrated can cause collagen breakdown. There are various products you can use to keep your skin hydrated, such as hyaluronic acid, hydrosols and oils. Hyaluronic acid or hydrosols can be used day and night and are applied before moisturizer or facial oils.

  1. Use retinol.

Retinol helps increase cellular turnover by bringing new healthy skin cells to the surface. It can also increase collagen production, which helps with elasticity and skin sagging. This product can be used a few times a week at nighttime, but it’s essential to wear SPF during the same day.

In addition to these recommendations, Cadena suggests getting facials and red light therapy every once in a while. For more information or to book an appointment, visit elemintskin.com.
