Anti Aging Skin Treatment

Four ways to treat and slow down aging skin.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Alpha-hydroxy Acids are derivatives of fruit and dairy products and are found

in many African American skincare products. AHA is a chemical exfoliant that can give the skin a more youthful

appearance. By removing the outermost layers of skin, AHAs can

remove the damaged skin.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Another benefit of AHA is that it helps to increase skin cell production. Skin cell

production decreases with age and is one of the main reasons we see wrinkles and other signs of aging in mature skin. Find ways to

incorporate products with AHA into your regimen to treat aging. Clear Essence an entire line of skin care products that are

anti-aging and feature AHA.

Retinoids

Retinoids are chemical compounds similar to Vitamin A. They are used in medicine for the way they affect cell

growth. Retinoids increase cell production while decreasing cell loss.

They also help lessen the deterioration of collagen and elastin in the skin, which

is essential when fighting wrinkles.

Retinoids

Depending on the level of treatment you are seeking, it is best to consult a

dermatologist and see what type of retinoid product is best for you. Another way to gain the benefits of retinoids is through food. Beef liver and dark leafy greens are known to have significant

amounts of retinoids and can help with aging skin.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion works similarly to exfoliation. It is done by buffing a hard substance onto the

skin, by which dead skin is rubbed off and collagen production increases. Similarly to the way sandpaper makes a piece of wood smooth and splinter-free, microdermabrasion creates a

softer skin surface with fewer wrinkles and lines. After a microdermabrasion treatment, you may

notice that your skin also feels softer and is more radiant, which is great in Black skin care. Often

times, it is done my professional and takes a multiple sessions to see optimal results.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is great because it enhances the effects of all the above-mentioned

methods. It can help to protect the skin, encourage collagen protection

and enhance the effectiveness of exfoliation/ microdermabrasion.

Products with vitamin C are excellent for African American skin because it

can treat hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C

To incorporate vitamin C into your daily skincare regimen, look for products like the ones in Clear

Essence’s Lemon Plus Vitamin C Skin Care Line. The individual products in

this line can makeup an entire regimen, and they all contain vitamin

C.
