Treating Skin Texture Changes with Skin Care Products

Skin texture changes are just one of the factors in facial aging that will make us look older. Each individuals skin texture changes are dependent on a number of factors, some genetic and some lifestyle-oriented. For example, people who spend more time in the sun, who smoke, and who sleep on their stomachs are all more likely to develop tougher, more wrinkled skin as they age.
Other aspects of skin texture changes include acne scarring, dry skin, a dull complexion, hyper-pigmentation, and age spots. These factors combine with volume loss in the face and skin droopiness to make us look older than we feel.

There are several methods of combatting skin texture changes, and one of the easiest is with your skin care products. While skin care products cant give you results as dramatic as an aesthetic procedure like a chemical peel or a laser treatment, they can prevent further damage to the skin and can reduce the appearance of some of the above issues.
 
The most important thing when it comes to your skin care products is to use a moisturizer with an SPF. The sun is the single largest factor in contributing to facial aging. Radiation from the sun causes collagen and elastin in our skin to break down- these are the proteins that make our skin supple and firm. When the sun breaks these elements down, we look older and more haggard. An SPF in our moisturizer will protect your skin from that damage when you are outside.
 
Aside from an SPF, you should select skin care products that are designed to address the specific issues associated with your skin. If you have dry skin due to sunbathing, your skin care products should address that. If you have hyperpigmentation or an uneven complexion, your products should include elements that combat that issue. The best way to find a skin care product that will conform to your needs is to have a consultation with an esthetician.
 
A licensed esthetician will be able to assess your skin and recommend the exact products that will help you look younger and more rejuvenated. There are anti-aging products that will help stimulate collagen and/or elastic growth, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. There are also products designed to work in tandem with procedures like chemical peels or laser treatments, in order to give you the best possible outcome. The right product can give you results that are satisfactory enough that you can put off a procedure for months or even years.
