How to choose anti-aging skin care for YOUR skin

How to choose anti-aging skin care: See a skin care expert

The easiest way to choose the right anti-aging skin care for your skin is to consult an expert. Developing a relationship with a trusted esthetician can help you see major improvements in your skin and also prevent future damage.

We asked our skin care experts to weigh in on how they choose the proper treatments and take home skin care for you:

“Research has shown that people in their 20’s want to look better in

selfies and pictures and want to see instant results. Fines lines will be high on their list of concerns. Since the damage isn’t usually as deep with this age group, I focus on making sure they follow the proper daily routine with one anti-aging product in the mix if they need it, along with regular Custom Blend Facials,” says – Alina Houtz, Licensed Esthetician, Jordan Thomas Salon & Spa

“It’s crucial to start a daily routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice daily, but most importantly applying a broad spectrum sunscreen every morning! If they still suffer from fine lines or other aging concerns, I usually recommend adding Age Activist Clinical Youth Serum or Plump Start to give them an extra boost and added preventative care.

People in their 40’s and up typically want to see improvement on fine lines, deep wrinkles, age spots, loss of firmness, etc. They may also be interested in slowing the aging process. Be strategic when developing a treatment plan with your client. Start with the concern that bothers him/her the most and progress from there with a combination of professional treatments and at-home care.

Quick Refiner for Eyes, Plump Start, Skin Editor and LightPlex GigaWatt Dark Spot Corrector are just a few great choices that I tend to gravitate towards for this age group and these concerns. Gentle chemical peels are also a great treatment for treating some deeper damage.

Ages 60 and up typically want to see improvement in the overall health of their skin. This group will be looking for your professional recommendations for a complete at-home skin care regimen and treatment schedule. Skin Editor is above and beyond my favorite for this age group!”

How to choose anti-aging product: Make it work with your lifestyle

“There are a plethora of wonderful anti-aging products from Bioelements, but no one expects you to use every single one in your routine – it all depends on your lifestyle and your skin concerns. Are you a skin care junkie? Add several anti-aging products into your daily

routine. Don’t have the time or patience for a lengthy routine? Opt for an all-in-one anti-ager like Skin Editor or Age Activist Clinical Youth Serum. That being said, anti-aging prevention in the form of a daily broad spectrum sunscreen should start at a very young age, regardless of lifestyle, skin type, etc.” –Nina Holt, Esthetician, Westwood Studio and Spa

“The first thing you should evaluate is your skin type and the products you are currently using. Then follow with asking yourself what are the areas on your face that truly concern you. I recommend focusing on your top 1-3 concerns instead of trying every product under the sun. ” –Tina Martinez, Licensed Esthetician, Flawless Beauty By Tina

How to choose anti-aging product: Identify your biggest skin goals

“When you start looking for anti-aging products, always ask yourself what your specific skin care goals are first. ‘Anti-aging’ can be a broad term and may mean something different to you versus someone else. When you look in the mirror what is the first thing you notice? Fine lines under your eyes? Try an eye creme like Sleepwear for Eyes. Dull, lackluster skin? Opt for Radiance Rescue to rev skin up for instant glow. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

However, I do always recommending starting with the appropriate cleanser, toner, and SPF. When the skin is balanced, it is able to get the full benefits from any anti-aging skin care that you use.” –Tricia Koch, Licensed Esthetician, Solei Day Spa
