4 Anti-Aging Secrets for Youthful Skin

The experts at our compounding pharmacy near Studio City know that aging skin is a top concern for many patients. Here are some of our favorite anti-aging secrets to keep your skin looking more youthful.

1. Start From Within

Your internal health has a direct impact on your skin’s appearance. To achieve younger looking skin, try adding omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to your diet. Sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids include olive oil, flaxseed, and fish. Omega-3 and omega-6 can also be taken in the form of over the counter supplements. These fatty acids help promote a healthy moisture barrier for your skin. Your skin’s moisture barrier protects your skin from dryness and wrinkles and is an important component of youthful skin.

2. Minimize Your Sun Exposure

Prevent sun damage by applying sunscreen daily. Sun damage can take up to two decades to appear on your skin. No matter how young you are, it is important to apply sunscreen now to prevent the effects of sun damage from appearing on your skin later in life. In addition to wearing sunscreen, consider other forms of sun protection like hats, sunglasses, and UV-protective clothing.

3. Try a Honey Mask

One of the most effective ways to prevent signs of aging is to keep your skin moist. Honey is a natural moisturizer, and it contains antioxidants that nourish your skin and repair free radical damage. Incorporate honey into your skincare routine by applying a generous amount on your face and neck twice a week. Leave the honey on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse your face with water.

4. Use a Retinoid

Retinoids work by increasing the rate of surface skin cell turnover. Faster skin cell turnover can lead to lighter sunspots, fewer wrinkles, and a more even skin tone. Retinoids come in both prescription and non-prescription forms. Non-prescription creams are much weaker than prescription creams, but they are a good starting point for people with sensitive skin. Applying retinoids to your skin can lead to redness and peeling, so it is important to start small to minimize any potential discomfort. Talk to your dermatologist to see if retinoids are a good option for you.
