4 Easy Steps to Improve Aging Skin

skin health Mar 22, 2021

Many factors are involved in our aging skin; it starts to age in our late 20’s starting with the decrease of collagen production, slowing of cells turn over, loss of hydration and thinning of the epidermis.

Characteristics of aging skin:

  1. Dull, dry skin
  2. Fine lines and wrinkles
  3. Sun spots (hyperpigmentation)
  4. Slack, loss of firmness and elasticity
  5. Thinner, translucent skin, especially around the eyes

We have 4 easy to implement solutions to more beautiful, firmer, younger skin:

1. Collagen - is very important to the health of our bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles and skin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and responsible for the skin’s structural integrity. 

Our bodies actually produce our own collagen but production starts to gradually slow down      in our 20’s. This slow down results in joint paint, loss of skin elastin resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. 

By implementing a high quality collagen not only will your skin benefit the rest of your body will also thank you!

2. Exfoliation done properly just makes the skin glow! We love exfoliating the skin to remove dead skin cells, reduce hyperpigmentation and prevention of breakouts.

However too much exfoliation or with the wrong products can leave your skin sensitive, red and vulnerable to sun damage. 

We recommend:

-Fall, winter and spring professional chemical peels. This type of controlled exfoliation leaves your skin fresh, clear and even reduces fine lines and wrinkles. 

-Microdermabrasion is another safe non evasive treatment to slug away dead skin cells, reduce hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin with a beautiful glow.

-An at home gentle oatmeal exfoliator such as the one we carry from Province Apothecary is safe to use 2 x 3 times per week. 

Benefits of exfoliating:

-improves skin texture

-removes dry flaky skin and dead skin cells

-minimizes the appearance of large pores

-prevents breakouts

-skincare products penetrate better

-smoother makeup application

3. Microneedling - is a non invasive skin treatment that uses 12 tiny needles to create small channels in the skin. In the days that follow the skin recovers and heals, it’s this process that stimulates collagen production. 

It’s this production of of collagen that:

  1. Tightens and firms the skin
  2. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  3. Encourages faster turn over + growth of skin cells
  4. Improvement in overall tone + texture
  5. Decreases the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
  6. Breaks down scarring, stretch marks and scars left from acne.

Microneedling can also be preformed on almost any area where you have skin concerns, such as:

  • face, neck and chest
  • hands
  • back (acne scarring)
  • midsection, tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks after child birth or weight loss.
  • Upper thigh area, works great on reducing the signs of cellulite. 

4. IV Nutrient Therapy as offered at EASTND

IV nutrient therapy is one of our most effective ways to help address root cause of skin concerns. The administration of active forms of nutrients into the bloodstream ensures optimal absorption and effect. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to improve the integrity of the skin cells. Depending on the root cause we incorporate different nutrients to address: hormonal imbalance, chronic stress and nutrient deficiency (zinc, B’s). 

Our glowing skin drip was designed specifically for clients wanting to minimize the impact of environmental and life stressors that can impact aging skin. It provides a specific blend of nutrients designed to repair damaged cells, improve hydration, plumps skin cells and prevents further damage from occurring. Best results when used monthly for six months to one year.

Implement one or more for younger, firmer, brighter healthy skin!!
