Ask an Esthetician: Choosing anti-aging products for combo/acne prone skin
Products mentioned: Skinceuticals Vitamin C Serums: Serum 10, Serum 15, Serum 20, CE Ferulic, Phloretin CF Skinceuticals Renew Overnight moisturizers (comes in oily/combo or dry) La Roche-Posay Toleriane Fluid moisturizer and Active C line (comes in dry and oily formulations, I believe) Kiss My Face Start Up exfoliating cleanser Caudalie products Scrubs: choose either a jojoba bead (mild) or micronized aluminum/magnesium or other light metals (aka “microdermabrasion” creams, which are stronger). If I remember correctly, I liked Dr. Brandt’s Microdermabrasion cream, which also contains a mild retinoid. Do not use scrubs on inflamed skin. Enzymes: research brands that you find near you or online. And remember, buy your products from stores with good return policies, like Rite Aid, CVS, Ulta and Sephora. Good luck!

Why Aren’t You Using Anti Aging Skin Cream?
What if I told you anti aging skin care is in high demand as the baby boomers are approaching their golden years. Even magazines for baby boomers portray young robust men and svelte youthful women. Even Hollywood has compounded the need for a youthful looking face. Thanks to personal stylists and plastic surgery, even a sixty year old actor or model can change the external effects of aging. However, these anti aging procedures do your health no good.
Aging is an unavoidable process. You cannot stop it but you can minimize the effect of time by using good anti aging skin care. Today, thanks to technology and science, there are many anti aging skin care products available that help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, bags under the eyes, dark circles and other age-related facial lines.
The good news is that you can take control of the aging process and achieve amazing results sitting at home. One of the most popular anti aging skin care product is anti aging skin cream. However, to get optimum results from using anti aging skin cream, you should first know your skin type. This will help you select the correct cream and you will be able to follow a regular skin care routine which is important to give the maximum anti aging benefits to your skin.

The latest research shows that natural anti aging skin cream is the best way forward. If you are over 50 or tend to work a lot outside in the sun, you will suffer from dry and itchy skin. You should use an anti aging skin cream that has moisturizing properties so that you can replenish the moisture levels in your skin and reducing the itching. Do remember that the best products do not contain fragrances and chemical additives. Instead, the ingredients are extracted from plants and other things naturally occurring in the environment.
Today, anti aging skin creams contain some really good ingredients that boost the production of collagen and elastin, elements vital in slowing down the aging process. Some of these elements are Phytessence Wakame and Coezyme Q10.
Loss of collagen, elastin as well as decreasing levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin contribute to aging and formation of wrinkles and fine lines. It is important to nourish your face, hands and neck with a good anti aging skin cream so that the effects of aging are greatly reduced.
There is no doubt that the anti aging skin care market will continue to grow as we all want to stop time and retain eternal youth. Hopefully, research and development will continue to make majority of the products more effective so that the aging process is drastically reduced and we can retain the vitality of youth for a longer period of time.
Are there any anti aging essential oils or extracts that are good for skin?
I don’t really know of any. If you like Mary Kay Products, Try “Time Wise” It works great!Maybe you can try Edelweiss extract. it can be used as ingredients in anti aging cosmetic.Aromatherapy essential oils are very useful in skin care. Aromatherapy massage is a luxurious experience as the scents relax nerves and the massage nourishes our skin. we can use various essential oils such as Lavender, Eucalyptus, Peppermint etc.you can use a turmeric paste ( used to wash it, dont’ apply it like a paste or your skin will go yellow, temporarily of course) on skin, very well documented in ayuveda, and works very well.Check this video about skin care…
Better to be aging that to have it stop

@VeryDelightful Sorry for the delay… Vitamin C is produced naturally by the skin (and is a water soluble nutrient in the body) and is safe. Glycolic acid is derived from sugar, and should not be absorbed into the bloodstream when applied topically. I personally don’t see why either would cause a problem, but generally people tend to be super paranoid and say not to use anything “chemical” at all while preg/breastfeeding.
Is vitamin c or glycolic acid safe to use while breastfeeding? If so at what percentage glycolic is safe? Planning to use both but alternating between the two. Thank you.
I was wondering if you have heard of or tried Ultraceuticals?
Great video!
Great video! So informative. Keep up with the good work =)
@zulaica1 Thank you!
@strilinga Thank you! At 24 you should focus on moisture retention and preventing sun/environmental/systemic damage (smoking, drinking, etc.). In other words, focus on prevention. Layering products is normal… So long as they are working well together and not causing problems, I wouldn’t worry about it. The only things you don’t want to layer are chemical exfoliants (AHA’s, BHA’s retinoids, etc.) to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.
@romeydiaz77 KMF does have some good products, but most VitC products are too diluted or buffered to be effective. You can tell a good VitC product by its color and smell. It should turn brown when oxidized over time (or should turn brown when it gets on something white, like a washcloth), and it should make your hands/skin smell slightly metallic or otherwise odd after being exposed to air for about 10 minutes. If you can’t detect any color change or funny smell, it’s probably not very potent.
