While genetics plays a role in how we look and how we resemble our parents and grandparents, according to American Board of Dermatology certified dermatologist Jeanine B. Downie, M.D we don’t necessarily have to have the same wrinkles they have.
According to Dr. Downie, the majority of the damage we do to our skin comes from other places such as not drinking enough water, stress, smoking, and of course, sun exposure.
When treating your skin Dr. Downie advises to use sunscreen every day. She says, “According to a recent study Skin Cancer Foundation survey about 40 percent of adult Americans confess that they don’t wear sun block at all and this is something that needs to be changed we need to put on an SPF of at least 15 every single day rain or shine from January to December regardless of ethnicity.”
She also advises that you use topical antioxidants. She has been working with the manufacturers of Revaléskin® to get the message out that by applying a potent antioxidant to our skin every day, along with a sunscreen ‘on top’ we don’t need to age like our grandparents any more. Revaléskin® is an anti-aging skin care line that contains the powerful antioxidant CoffeeBerry® extract. The antioxidants in the CoffeeBerry product help to and neutralize free radicals that can cause fine lines and wrinkles and damage your skin. Free radicals cause damage to the collagen, protein, DNA and lipids in our skin. As we age, we are less able to resist this free radical damage. Revaléskin® helps protect against free radical damage and is clinically proven to help decrease fine lines and wrinkles, decrease redness and it actually helps to improve your skins over all tone and texture.
The doctor advises that people think about using a topical antioxidant every single day in concert with sunscreen and healthful habits.
