How to Revitalize Aging Skin

Wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines are all common complaints when it comes to aging skin. If you’re experiencing these signs of aging, however, you don’t have to simply accept them! In fact, there are a number of treatments and other things you can try to revitalize your aging skin and restore its youthful, vibrant appearance.

Consider Lightwave Topical Light Infusion

Topical Light Infusion (TLi) treatments have been taking the skincare world by storm, especially among those who have been experiencing dull and aging skin. Specifically, ABI Dermaceuticals‘ TLi Retinol Revitalizing Treatment is designed to invigorate skin by infusing Vitamin A into the layers of the skin. This, in turn, has been shown to increase cell turnover and assist in collagen production. The end result? A reduction in the appearance of find lines and wrinkles—as well as a more vibrant and youthful complexion.

Understanding Lightwave Topical Light Infusion Treatment

How does our Lightwave TLi work, anyway? First, the skin must be properly cleansed so that all makeup, debris, and dirt is removed. From there, exfoliation using a scrub may be recommended for particularly damaged or dry skin.

Next, protective eyewear is donned and LED red light therapy is administered to the skin for a minimum of 10 minutes. The purpose of this is to increase blood flow to the area, which will optimize the results of the treatment.

From there, the topical serum is applied to the skin and massages around the face, starting with the forehead and working down towards the chin. After 1-2 minutes (to allow the serum to penetrate the skin), the topical cream is applied in the same manner. Finally, protective eyewear is donned once again and a 30-minute light therapy treatment is administered.

How Topical Light Infusion Works

As treated skin is exposed to LED light, the wavelengths from the light help the topicals reach deep into the different layers of the skin. This allows the skin to absorb these ingredients (including Vitamin A), resulting in noticeable results with just one treatment session. Many patients will notice an improvement in overall skin tone and texture, as well as a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Other Tips to Protect Aging Skin

In addition to considering treatments such as ABI’s Lightwave TLi, there are other measures you can take to revitalize and protect aging skin. One of the most important things you can do is to make sure your skin is adequately protected from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Likewise, staying properly hydrated can also keep skin looking its best. As a general rule, you should aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day.

How Can Glycolic Acid Benefit Your Skin?

If you’ve ever looked at the ingredients list on skin care products, you’ve likely noticed an ingredient called glycolic acid. This element is extremely beneficial for the skin, which is why you’ll see it on most lists, especially on anti-aging products. Derived from sugar cane, don’t let the intimidating acid name scare you away from particular products. It is a natural ingredient that is good for your skin and absorbs easily because of its small size.

Perfect for Acne-Prone Skin

If you’re prone to acne, you want a product that contains glycolic acid. Acne is produced due to the oil and trapped dead cells in the pores of your skin and exhibits itself in a variety of ways, from blackheads to larger cysts. When you use a product that includes this ingredient, it gets deep into the pores down to the hair follicles to loosen up sebum and proteins that often get trapped in the pores, reducing acne occurrences.

Anti-Aging Benefits

Perhaps the most common types of skin care products to use glycolic acid are anti-aging products. The same dead skin cells and other issues that cause acne can contribute to dull skin and make you look older. This isn’t as noticeable in children and teenagers because the cell turnover rate is much higher, but as you go through adulthood, the effects are more prominent. Glycolic acid not only smooths the skin as it works, but it also gets rid of the dead skin cells that store discolorations from acne, sun damage, and more. It also stimulates collagen production, which contributes to the elasticity of the skin and keeps it tighter to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles often associated with aging skin.

Improve the Skin’s Absorption Rate

Another primary benefit of using glycolic acid in skin care products is its ability to improve the absorption rate of the other ingredients found in the product. Because this ingredient opens up the pores, larger molecules that make up the other essential ingredients in your skin products will be able to easily enter the skin and do their job as well. This includes antioxidants, retinol and other essential minerals your skin needs. In addition, you will find it easier to apply your makeup and achieve the look you want.

Pay Attention to Amounts

The amount of glycolic acid in a given product is an important factor to consider. In general, skin care products typically use between seven and 30 percent glycolic acid to ensure the maximum effect without overdoing it. Face washes and creams for daily use often contain a lower amount, while face masks and other products designed for more intense use, fall on the higher end of the spectrum for a more concentrated effect. It is also important to look for lower pH numbers in the glycolic acid. A more acidic ingredient will have better results. A perfect example is our Corrective Pads with Glycolic Acid which are designed to resurface and alleviate congested skin. They will also help reduce sebum in oily skin conditions. This unique formula of glycolic acid, combined with willow bark, will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, keeping skin feeling smooth and providing a more even skin tone.

Is It Safe?

If someone offered you an acid product to use on your skin, one of your most vulnerable and sensitive organs, you would likely hesitate. However, glycolic acid is perfectly safe for use, especially when dealing with products marketed for at-home use. However, those who spend a lot of time in the sun should be wary of using these products as they can make your skin more vulnerable to the effects of the sun, particularly immediately following use. Try the Sensible Sunscreen SHADE with SPF 28 which provides superior sun protection without causing congestion or irritating sensitive skin. This gentle, fragrance free formula physically blocks the suns damaging rays and provides instant broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB exposure. This fast absorbing, non-greasy lotion is ideal for oily, sensitive, and acne prone skin.
