How to identify Mature, Sun-damaged Skin?
Skin above 45+ showing early signs of aging, seen as expression lines such as wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Moderate to substantial sun damage appearing as visible pigmentation spots, wrinkles and weakened skin tone. This category applies for both dry and oily mature skin.
What is the right approach for treating mature skin?
1. Intensive (but careful) exfoliation to remove damaged upper epidermal layers and, at the same time, accelerate skin renewal from within.
2. Keeping the skin well protected from further damaging UV radiation and minimizing unnecessary exposure to the sun.
3. Protecting the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals, pollution and smoking.
4. Supporting the skin with intensive moisturizers, effective anti-oxidants and skin care forumaltions that strengthen its barrier function.
5. Proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, will better "nourish" the skin from within than any external preparations.
NOTE: All of the above recommendations are based on the treatment principles symbolized by the EOP triangle that underlines the Fresh Look philosophy for healthy skin care.
