Healthy skin is younger skin

Dermatologist Dr Howard Murad has made significant breakthroughs in the field of anti-ageing and skin health.

Here are his smart tips:

The BEST things for ageing skin

1. Proper daily skincare regime with exfoliants, moisturisers, Vitamin C and other antioxidants and anti-inflammatories to diminish redness.
   
2. Weekly Vitamin C treatments: Where there is environmental damage, Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, immediately firms and hydrates.
   
3. Environmental protection: Daily use of full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen protection at least SPF 15 is critical for protecting against photoaging’s wrinkles, age spots, roughened texture and compromised skin tone.
   
4. Youth Builder® Collagen Supplements: Clinically proven to reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles by 55% in four weeks from the inside.
   
5. Targeting specifics: Targeted, problem-solving products work well to diminish age spots, crow’s feet around the eyes, occasional breakouts.
   
6. Professional care: Regular facials by a qualified esthetician can help ageing skin look more youthful.

The WORST things for ageing skin:

1. Giving up: No matter what its condition today, with conscientious, daily application and adopting a healthy lifestyle, you have the power improve the look and health of your skin.
   
2. Harsh products: Cleansers, scrubs and treatments that are too strong or heavily fragranced may irritate and dehydrate dry skin even more.
   
3. Heavy-handed makeup application: Piling on cosmetics makes your skin look worse, not better.

What the professionals can do:

For ageing skin, a professional salon treatment can help restore health and vibrance. These include:

• Vitamin C Infusion Treatment
  
• Powerful antioxidant therapy
  
• Intensive AHA exfoliation
  
• Glycolic acid treatments - such as Murad AHA Rapid Exfoliator® - to clear dead skin cells, refine uneven texture, color and tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  
• Intensive enzyme exfoliation
  
• Fruit enzyme treatments from papaya and pineapple – such as Murad Professional Enzyme Treatment
  
• Microdermabrasion. Mechanical exfoliation smoothes texture, pigment and fine lines on the face and chest. Best results come from repeated treatments a few weeks apart.
