What does anti-aging mean?

While many people use the two terms interchangeably, dehydrated skin is different from dry skin in two significant ways:

• Dehydrated skin lacks water, whereas dry skin lacks oils
  
  

• Dry skin is a skin type, and dehydrated skin is a condition
  
  

Dehydrated skin requires a different skincare routine than does dry skin. The skincare routine for dehydrated skin includes:

• Using a cream cleanser that lifts grime without stripping the skin of oils
  
  
• Apply serum containing hyaluronic acid, such as the Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum from Trophy Skin
  
  
• Use moisturizer to hydrate the skin
  
  
• Apply sunscreen to protect skin from harmful UV rays

• Cleanse the skin; avoid products containing alcohol, which can cause the skin to increase its production of oil
  
  

• Exfoliate the skin to scrub away dead skin cells and debris that can clog pores
  
  

• Apply a toner or use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula to remove residual oils and impurities leave behind, and to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores caused by excess oils
  
  

• Apply serum to help clean and tighten pores, smooth out uneven texture, and soak up excess oil
  
  

• Use moisturizer that is lightweight, free of oils, and water-based to keep skin hydrated
  
  

• Apply sunscreen to protect skin

Combination skin is oily in some places and dry in others. It is common to have an oily “T-zone” on the forehead, nose and chin, and dry skin on the cheeks. A skincare routine for combination skin helps create more balance between the oily and dry parts, while reducing wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of aging.

Morning Routine

• Wash with a gentle cleanser that moisturizes dry skin without creating more oiliness
  
  

• Use toner or an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula to remove oil; use an alcohol-free toner to avoid drying skin out or triggering the production of oil
  
  

• Apply serum with hyaluronic acid, such as Light Enhancing Serum
  
  

• Moisturize with two moisturizers; a creamy one for dry areas and a lightweight, oil-based formula for oily areas
  
  

• Apply sunscreen to protect skin
  
  

Evening Routine

• Remove makeup with a makeup remover or cleanser
  
  

• Exfoliate once a week to remove dead skin cells
  
  

• Use facial masks – apply different masks, one to the T-zone and one to the dry areas
  
  

• Apply serum or moisturizer

• Wash face with gel or cream cleanser for sensitive skin
  
  

• Use a toner containing skin-soothing ingredients; avoid toners containing alcohol or astringents; use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula
  
  

• Apply a serum to maintain skin’s moisture levels and reduce the appearance of redness, such as the Anti-Aging Serum from Trophy Skin
  
  

• Use gentle moisturizers containing soothing ingredients

• Wash face to remove dirt, debris, and excess oils
  
  

• Exfoliate skin twice a week to remove the buildup of dead skin cells
  
  

• Apply toner to remove leftover oil or dirt, hydrate the skin, and prepare the skin for the rest of the routine, or use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula
  
  

• Use sunscreen to protect skin
  
  

• Apply serum to address dark spots and discolorations of uneven skin

Sun and other environmental factors can damage skin and affect its ability to act as a moisture barrier. Signs of a damaged moisture barrier include redness, dryness and dehydration, flakiness and peeling, irritation, itchiness, increased breakouts, and stinging or burning sensation when products are applied.

Morning Routine

• Wash face with a gentle cleanser
  
  

• Apply collagen-boosting antioxidant serum or gel, such as the JeNu Marine Collagen Mineral Gel, to help protect the skin barrier and promoting improved collagen levels in skin
  
  

• Use moisturizer to help replenish moisture
  
  

• Apply sunscreen
  
  

Evening Routine

• Cleanse the face
  
  

• Use night serum to help speed healing of damaged skin tissue

Morning Routine

• Cleanse with a creamy, oil-free cleanser containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid; avoid using abrasive exfoliant sponges to minimize traumatic inflammation of the skin
  
  

• Apply toner to remove extra oils and impurities from the skin and to balance the pH of the skin or use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula
  
  

• Spot treatments that contain active ingredients, such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and sulfur to zero in on acne bumps
  
  

• Moisturize with a non-comedogenic product, which is less likely to clog pores and lead to acne compared with other products; use a moisturizer containing sunscreen to protect skin
  
  

Evening Routine

• Cleansing in the evening removes the acne-causing oil, dirt, and grime that accumulated on skin during the day
  
  

• Apply toner to oily skin or use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula
  
  

Medicate with products containing azelaic acid or retinoids, both of which clear the pores of bacteria that may cause irritation or breakout

Morning Routine

• Cleanse with a sulfate-free cleanser to keep skin free of blemishes

• Apply serum that contains stem cells and antioxidants to reduce signs of aging
  
  

Evening Routine

• Use a cleanser to remove oil and dirt
  
  

• Apply a toner that removes leftover dirt and oil or use an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula

Turning back the hands of time is easier with the use of today’s anti-aging produces and skincare routine. A dermatologist or skincare professional can help consumers develop an anti-aging routine and choose products that help reduce the visible signs of aging.
