The Best Anti-Aging Methods at Every Age!
  • We often think that we dont need to worry about
    aging during our 20s and 30s, and that we can
    leave it till our 40s to buy those anti-aging
    creams. However, this is one of the biggest
    mistakes you can make. Aging starts a lot earlier
    than we normally think it doesit starts in our
    20s to be exact.
  • Our bodies start losing collagen by the time we
    are in our mid-twenties. This is significant
    because collagen loss is what shows up as the
    first visual signs of aging. It is what affects
    our faces the most.
  • So, what can we do about it?

What is aging anyway?
  • Aging can mean so many things to different
    people. For some, it can mean a degradation of
    physical healthbones and muscles getting weaker.
    For others, it can mean the slowing down of
    cognitive abilitiesnot being able to pick up
    languages as fast as you were able to, for
    example.
  • However, a simple Google search will reveal that
    for most people, aging is concerned with the
    appearance of the skinand for good reason. As
    the skin in your face is thinner, more signs of
    aging will appear there.
  • In scientific terms, however, aging relates to
    changes in DNA. As this research article puts it
    so well"if DNA is the digital information on a
    compact disc, then aging is due to scratches.
    Aging represents changes at a cellular
    levelparticularly the health of the mitochondria
    (controls cell death).

Anti-Aging in Your 20s Get your Diet in Order
  • Prevention is better than cure, and this could
    not be truer for anti-aging. You are what you
    eat could also not be truer for anti-aging! What
    you eat shows up as the first visible signs of
    aging on your skin.
  • Up until we are in our 20s, collagen production
    in the body is quite fast and our skin cells
    renew pretty quickly. Once we hit our 20s,
    collagen production starts to slow down, and
    collagen destruction starts to take over. Skin
    cells cant take up to a month to renew.
  • Collagen degradation is caused by things called
    free radicalswhich are a byproduct of everything
    around uspollution, sunlight, heat, refined
    foods, etc. Fortunately, there are antioxidants
    present in fruits and vegetables that mop up
    these free radicals before they can ruin your
    skin. The takeaway isthis is when you start
    ditching the sugar and oily junk food and start
    eating those colorful vegetables!

Best Anti-Aging Creams for Your 20s
  • Neutrogena Raid Wrinkle Repair Serum
  • Lancôme Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 Day Cream
  • Clarins Multi-Active Night Cream

Anti-Aging in Your 30s Stock up on that SPF!
  • You should continue with the healthy diet you
    started in your 20s. Did you know that different
    colors in fruits and vegetables represent
    different antioxidants? 30s is the time you go
    even harder with those colorful salads, green
    juices and green tea!
  • Your 30s is where sun damage (or photoaging)
    becomes more visible. Again, there are nutrients
    in your diet you should pay attention to Vitamin
    C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, protein and zinc. All
    these nutrients are involved in collagen
    production, which you are going to need with all
    that sun damage!
  • This is also the time you want to get your
    skincare in orderwith the most important being
    moisturizers and SPF. SPF is by far the most
    important step in skincare, because it is the
    first line of defense between your skin and the
    sun. Even when the sun isnt strong, UV rays can
    penetrate glass from windows and cause skin
    damage.

Best Anti-Aging Creams for Your 30s
  • Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream
  • Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle
    Correcting Eye Cream
  • Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair

Anti-Aging in Your 40s Youre going to need more
backup!
  • In your 40s, you are going to need more than a
    good diet and moisturizers to save your skin. At
    this point, damage that has been done is starting
    to become irreversible. So, you are going to need
    stronger topical products to give your skin an
    extra boost.
  • Firstly, youre going to need a robust SPF
    product. You may have been able to get away with
    a weaker SPF in your 30s and 20s, but you cant
    take that risk here. Look for SPF 30 or higher,
    and a broad-spectrum UV filter that filters both
    UVA (causes wrinkles) and UVB (causes burning).
  • This is also the stage where many people start a
    retinol. Retinol and retinoids are chemical
    derivatives of Vitamin A and is one of the key
    ingredients in many anti-aging products. They
    work because topical application of retinols help
    thicken the epidermis (top layer of skin) by
    increasing the speed of cell division (cell
    proliferation).

Anti-Aging in Your 50s Taking Extra Care
  • Around your late 40s and 50s, lots of women will
    experience menopause which is going to amplify
    signs of aging. During these years, your skins
    thickness in the face will reduce by as much as
    1 per year, and annual collagen is at an
    all-time high at 2 per year. Your face will be
    the first area to suffer, because it has the
    highest number of estrogen receptors, and
    menopause causes a dramatic reduction in
    estrogen.
  • So, in your 50s, you need to go out of your way
    to protect your skin. This means your diet and
    skincare is on point and you mustnt do anything
    to tear the skin (e.g. picking zits, too much sun
    exposure, etc.). You can also look into more
    sophisticated options from your
    dermatologistchemical peels, dermarolling, etc.
  • This is also the age where you will suffer from
    volume loss in your skin. So, this means that
    your eyes are going to be more sunken in.
    Unfortunately, theres not many natural ways to
    deal with volume loss, and youll have to look at
    botox and fillers to build up volume.

    Rejuvenating Cream
  • Cosima Flawless Eye Cream - Natural Botox

My Own Personal Experience with Anti-Aging Methods
  • Until this year, I was one of those people that
    never really fussed about my age. I didnt care
    when guys asked me how I old I was, and I
    continued my annoying habit of picking my
    pimples. I always had a baby face, so I guess I
    was underestimating the aging process.
  • However, it all changed just after my 26th
    birthday in March. It finally dawned on me that I
    will be hitting my 30s soon. It didnt help that
    I suddenly started noticing lines on my forehead,
    the skin around my eyes were getting darker and
    hollower, and I was starting to see skin folds
    around my nose!

13
My New Fight Skin Aging Methods Diet and Skincare
  • Over the past year, I researched and learned how
    to improve my diet for better skin and hair. I
    greatly increased my uptake of protein, zinc,
    Vitamin C, and Vitamin Aall needed for collagen
    formation. In food terms, this equates to about
    50g of protein a day, lots of nuts, leafy
    greens, carrots and green tea every day.
  • Because I had damaged my skin texture so much
    from all the pimple picking, I also invested in
    dedicated skincare to improve this. I bought
    products containing niacinamide (helps rebuild a
    damaged skin barrier) and hyaluronic acid (needed
    for moisture).

14
The Future of Anti-Aging
  • For now, the best we have to fight skin aging
    methods are those expensive skin treatments and
    anti-aging cosmetics. However, researchers are
    digging deeper into the chemical and cellular
    pathways that cause aging.
  • If by determining those pathways and controlling
    their parameterscan they slow down aging? This
    is the million-dollar question that scientists
    are trying to find the answer to. Their solution
    would be to develop drugs that can control the
    chemical pathways of aging.
  • One such drug that has shown promise in the
    anti-aging arena is Metforminthe drug used to
    treat Type 2 diabetes patients. In some models,
    Metformin had slowed down aging and lowered the
    risk of neurodegenerative diseases and (possibly
    even) cancer. It is being considered a part of
    anti-aging therapy, and whether this would yield
    long-term resultsonly time will tell.

15
Conclusion For Now, Keep Eating Those Vegetables!
  • Anti-aging science is an exciting field of
    health. Scientists seems to be getting closer to
    developing drugs and therapies to slow down aging
    on all frontsyour skin, physical and mental
    abilities.
  • However, we are still yearsif not decadesaway
    from benefiting from this research. So, for now,
    the best we can do is to take preventative
    measures. Use that SPF religiously, eat plenty of
    fresh fruits and vegetables, and opt for regular
    aerobic exercise.

  • A large plate of tabbouleh I made for myself.I
    swapped in the bulgur wheat for white beans for
    some extra protein and zinc. Parsley is extremely
    rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin Aand the olive oil
    helps to absorb it into the body. Lets just say
    it is an all-round skinfood!
