  1. Facial skin care for mature skin

  2. Introduction • Photoaging refers to the damage that is done to the skin from prolonged exposure to UV radiation over a person's lifetime. • Roughness, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation (coloration), inelasticity, enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands, precancerous, and cancerous lesions are all examples of skin changes associated with photoaging. • Smoking has also been shown to speed up aging of skin, so stopping smoking is important for good skin health. • In addition, a well-balanced diet allows the skin to get the nutrition it needs to help repair ongoing damage from the sun and other environmental elements.

  3. Here are some of the products that can be used for anti-aging purposes, • Tretinoin (Retin-A® and Renova®) • Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) • Beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid) • Sun protection

  4. Tretinoin (Retin-A® and Renova®) • a prescription medication first developed to treat acne. • In addition, it improved skin texture and color when used over an extended period of time. • Tretinoin exfoliates the skin (removes a dead layer of skin cells), helps even out pigmentation, and minimizes fine lines. • Side effects of tretinoin include dryness, skin peeling, and redness. • You may be able to minimize these side effects by using tretinoin every other night and then gradually increasing the frequency to every night, as tolerated. • Tretinoin also makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays from the sun;therefore, the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning is recommended.

  5. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): • Alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids) are found as ingredients of numerous skin products. • In the United States alone, there are approximately 185 manufacturers of products containing AHAs. • Creams and lotions with AHA may help with fine lines, irregular pigmentation, age spots, and may help decrease enlarged pores. • Side effects of AHAs include mild irritation and sun sensitivity. • For that reason, sunscreen should also be used every morning.

  6. Beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid): • Salicylic acid also has been studied for its effect on photoaged skin. • It exfoliates skin, and can improve the texture and color of the skin. • It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and, as a result, also helps improve acne. • There are many over-the-counter products available that contain salicylic acid.

  7. Sun protection • Avoiding midday sun (between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.). • Wearing wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants. • Using a generous amount of sunscreen and reapplying it frequently (every 2 to 3 hours). • Using sunscreens that have a sun protection factor (SPF) greater than 30, and have UVA and UVB coverage. • Avoiding tanning beds (tanning beds are now considered a carcinogen, capable of causing cancer).

  8. Conclusion • Eventhough there are some easy remedies like sunscreens and sun protections can be used to prevent further progression of photoaging, it is better to have an assistance from a one of the best skin care clinics in Madurai to take better care of your skin.
