Turn Back the Aging Clock: “Age with Grace” Tips Just for You

November 20, 2014

Skincare in your 20s

If the fountain of youth existed, we’d be splashing its essence into our skincare routine daily. Of course there’s no real youthful fountain, but there are ways to improvise! It’s important to take care of your skin, inside and out, to extend its natural youthful appearance. Your Knoxville Dermatology team has gathered our favorite tips for anti-aging.

Take steps to nurture your inside, and your outside will glow in response. While skincare products definitely help, your organs need love and attention too. Make sure you get the proper daily intake of vitamins and nutrients like vitamin D and omega-3. Drinking plenty of water also helps your skin stay moisturized and healthy.

Limit your sun exposure. UV rays can damage your skin’s DNA, which damages the proteins, elastin and collagen that keep your skin looking young and resilient. Sun exposure can roughen the texture of your skin, add discoloration and even trigger the appearance of wrinkles. You should apply sunscreen to your face, neck, arms and hands thirty minutes prior to stepping outside.

Make sure you get enough sleep each night. This is your body’s chance to reset and reconfigure its renewal processes for the new day. Without an adequate amount of sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can break down skin collagen. The growth hormone that aids in tissue repair is released during your deep sleep cycle. So if sleep time is compromised, your body won’t get a chance to repair any wear or tear your skin experiences throughout the day. This can cause your skin to look sallow and lackluster.

We’re here to help you turn back the clock on aging!

If you have any questions about anti-aging tips or about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so you can look your best and feel confident at any age.
