Here is a recommended skincare routine for those of you concerned about wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. Isn’t that everyone?

Healthy skin can only stay that way if it is well taken care of. Researchers have proven the benefits of preventative medicine. Even in cancer research, they are starting to focus more on prevention.

They believe that developing new treatments is still important, but informing the public about protecting themselves from known and probable carcinogens is just as important. The things that will help you avoid wrinkles may also help you avoid skin cancer.

When it comes to your health, everything begins with a healthy diet. We are what we eat. It is not just a slogan. It is the truth.

Foods that help protect your skin against sun damage, which can lead to skin cancer and wrinkles, have been the subjects of numerous scientific studies. Fruits, vegetables and specific antioxidants have proven to be the most beneficial in the laboratory.

By extracting the antioxidants from those foods, we have the ability to use them as dietary supplements without adding calories to our diet. The extractions also give manufacturers the ability to include the ingredients in creams or lotions, if evidence shows they are beneficial.

Lately, it seems that most recommended skincare routines include regular exfoliation, especially when the subject is anti-aging. I believe in a gentler approach. Gently massaging your facial skin with a warm wet cloth on a daily basis should provide all of the exfoliation you need. Pouring a small amount of olive oil on the cloth may provide even more benefits.

Olive oil and other plant-based oils are the best moisturizers available. It is essential to use a good moisturizer after cleansing. Otherwise, the skin’s cells will become dry and deflated. You will start to see sagging and flaking. Wrinkles will follow.

A recommended skincare product for moisturizing is one that does not contain mineral oil. A recent study suggests that mineral oil and sodium laurel sulfate (an ingredient found in most soaps and cleansers) stimulate the growth of cancerous tumors.

Mineral oil is not actually a good moisturizer anyway. Grape-seed oil is much better. The antioxidant content may help to prevent cellular mutations that lead to the formation of wrinkles and cancerous growths. It has also proven to be beneficial for reversing damage to the delicate skin around the eyes.

Dermatologist recommended skincare products for anti-aging may contain sunscreens. The jury is still out on whether they are beneficial or damaging. Some evidence suggests they may increase a person’s risk of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.

Many researchers say that sunscreen ingredients are simply a waste, because they are only effective for a short period of time. We typically apply facial creams only once a day. Sunscreens need to be reapplied in order to remain effective for just a few hours.

One of the most beneficial compounds for reversing and preventing sun damage and wrinkles is coenzyme Q10. If an expert recommended skincare product does not contain it, the expert has not kept up with the latest research. Learn more about it.
