Four ways to treat and slow down aging skin.

1. Anti Aging Skin
Treatment
Four ways to treat and slow down
aging skin.

2. Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Alpha-hydroxy Acids are derivatives of fruit
and dairy products and are found in many
African American skincare products. AHA is a
chemical exfoliant that can give the skin a
more youthful appearance. By removing the
outermost layers of skin, AHAs can remove the
damaged skin.

3. Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Another benefit of AHA is that it helps to
increase skin cell production. Skin cell
production decreases with age and is one of
the main reasons we see wrinkles and other
signs of aging in mature skin. Find ways to
incorporate products with AHA into your
regimen to treat aging. Clear Essence an entire
line of skin care products that are anti-aging
and feature AHA.

4. Retinoids
Retinoids are chemical compounds similar to
Vitamin A. They are used in medicine for the
way they affect cell growth. Retinoids increase
cell production while decreasing cell loss.
They also help lessen the deterioration of
collagen and elastin in the skin, which is
essential when fighting wrinkles.

5. Retinoids
Depending on the level of treatment you are
seeking, it is best to consult a dermatologist
and see what type of retinoid product is best for
you. Another way to gain the benefits of
retinoids is through food. Beef liver and dark
leafy greens are known to have significant
amounts of retinoids and can help with aging
skin.

6. Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion works similarly to exfoliation. It is
done by buffing a hard substance onto the skin, by
which dead skin is rubbed off and collagen
production increases. Similarly to the way sandpaper
makes a piece of wood smooth and splinter-free,
microdermabrasion creates a softer skin surface with
fewer wrinkles and lines. After a microdermabrasion
treatment, you may notice that your skin also feels
softer and is more radiant, which is great in Black skin
care. Often times, it is done my professional and
takes a multiple sessions to see optimal results.

7. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is great because it enhances the
effects of all the above-mentioned methods.
It can help to protect the skin, encourage
collagen protection and enhance the
effectiveness of exfoliation/
microdermabrasion. Products with vitamin C
are excellent for African American skin
because it can treat hyperpigmentation.

8. Vitamin C
To incorporate vitamin C into your daily
skincare regimen, look for products like the
ones in Clear Essence’s Lemon Plus Vitamin
C Skin Care Line. The individual products in
this line can makeup an entire regimen, and
they all contain vitamin C.
