In a recent survey done by Verify Markets with Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons, aging skin showed up as the primary concern for all ethnicities; how that manifests can change by ethnicity. As per a dermatologist interviewed “When we are young, the collagen and elastin are the two main components that keep our skin looking young. As one starts aging, these components become less. The hydration of the skin, the hyaluronic acid which is a natural glucosamine glycine in the body and the skin that holds water that maintains that youthful look becomes less as we age. Any product that can enhance the hydration of the skin, that’s a good moisturizer with the hyaluronic acid and can take care of the textural and pigment changes, like vitamin C and pure antioxidants. Wrinkles and pigmentation are the top two concerns within aging, respectively. The second most common skin concern was pigment issues (both from aging and other sources like sun exposure or genetics) and the third most common concern was acne.” Some recommendations provided by plastic surgeons in lieu of surgery include: Sunscreen to prevent early aging Hydroquinone for pigment issues Tretinoin/Retin-A/Concentrated Vitamin A for fine wrinkles and acne Concentrated Vitamin C for skin brightening Benzoyl peroxide for acne Hyaluronic acid for moisturizing and hydration Other natural ways to prevent early aging include applying Aloe Vera/ banana masks, applying essential oils mixed with carrier oils, consuming superfoods (ginger, avocadoes, tomatoes, egg whites, chia seeds, cinnamon, walnuts, olive oil, and others). Additionally, consuming foods rich in zinc, selenium, and probiotics prevents early aging – notes Shilpa Tiku, Chief Research Officer and Partner at Verify Markets.
