Is there any over-the-counter help for mature skin?

Mature skin has several different issues, including wrinkles, fine lines, dryness, loss of skin tone and elasticity, and discoloration. While your genetic inheritance party determines how well you age, sun exposure over many years is the primary cause of what we consider "aging" skin. "Photoaging," the damage caused by accounts for most wrinkles, as well as the breakdown of the skin's supportive collagen and elastin. Medical experts estimate that up to 90% of all changes in skin are due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. So, the most important anti-aging treatment is sunscreen. Choose one with SPF 15 or higher and apply it generously and often.

Advances in skin care have made it possible to minimize and, in certain cases, reverse some of the damage that time and the environment have caused. Antioxidants, including vitamins A, C and E, can help prevent damaging inflammation and oxidation. There are numerous studies demonstrating that topical creams and serums with vitamin C are effective in controlling wrinkles and fine lines. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher-looking skin and stimulating cell turnover, which slows as we age. Copper has been found to naturally firm the skin, enhance elasticity, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Green tea is anti-inflammatory qualities reduce the appearance of puffiness, wrinkles, fine lines and large pores. Look for anti-aging skin care products that contain these ingredients.
