Gravity … where would we be without it? It holds us to the earth, keeping us firmly rooted as we go about our daily lives. But when it comes to ageing, we don’t like it so much, and with good reason. Tightening sagging skin requires more intervention than any other problem. Kim Susskind of Ebony Beauty shares the tricks to anti-ageing and making ageing work for you.
THE trick is to start early with prevention and don’t stop. Ever.
But where do you begin?
Your moisturizer. You don’t just need a good one you need the right one prescribed by a skin professional for your skin type and the climate we live in. If the cream is too heavy, it will clog pores or worse do nothing at all creating a negative feedback and drier skin. That’s why I recommend a comprehensive skin consult to get exactly the right one for you. Store-bought products do not have enough actives, if any, to rejuvenate or re-educate skin cells – they are designed to be sold to the masses with no reactions. No actives equals no results.
Active Treatments. Add a Vitamin C serum or Vitamin A (retinol), Alpha or Beta Hydroxy acids (AHA or BHA) to your skincare routine. These age fighters usually go on at night and help your skin renew itself faster and to look firmer.
Corrective Facials. I preach monthly facials for a reason. They work! If you’re serious about taking care of the health of your skin, facials are a must. You’ll look younger and it will show.
Intensive Treatments. Go for LED, Enzyme and Polymeric peels, Micro Activation and more to smooth out sagging skin, large pores and brown spots.
Make age work for you, not against you. Feel confident and look beautiful every day of your life. Love the skin you’re in.
