I’m a doctor – skincare musts to ward off wrinkles, including combatting what’s responsible for 80% of signs of aging
FROM graying hair to a sore back, there are lots of ways your body shows signs of aging.
A skincare expert revealed the top three ingredients for warding off wrinkles.
In the clip’s caption, TikToker Dr Anatalia Moore (@dr.anatalia.moore) explained: “If you’re worried your skin isn’t looking as great as it used to, it may be time to up the ante on your skincare.”
For her first tip, Anatalia advised her followers to prioritize SPF in their daily skincare routines.
“UV exposure is responsible for over 80 percent of signs of skin aging,” she said.
“If you find one that you like using so you use it every day, you’re setting yourself in good stem.
“Make sure it’s a broad spectrum, intra-red inclusive, factor 50, and mainly physical or mineral.”
She also recommended incorporating retinoids into your anti-aging efforts.
The doctor explained: “Retinoids are fantastic multi-taskers, they literally cover all aspects of skin health.
“From collagen production to pigment regulation, sweat production to wound healing, they are fabulous,” she said.
For her final anti-aging ingredient, Anatalia detailed the importance of Vitamin C for preventing wrinkles.
“It’s another lovely all-rounder and does a lot of what retinol does as well but by different pathways so they work together,” she explained.
“It also prevents further signs of aging from oxidative stress from things like toxins and pollutants in the air,” Anatalia added.
In the clip’s caption, she told viewers: “As you get older, your skin ages and struggles to renew itself as quickly, collagen synthesis decreases with age.
“It’s best to start taking care of your skin as early as possible but it’s never too late to start,” she said.
Referring to her tips, the doctor concluded: “There’s still a lot you can do to minimize the impact of aging on your face as you get older.”
