Forever Young! Anti-Aging Tips from Beverly Hills Aesthetics

July 18th, 2008

Rod Stewart had the right idea; forever young is definitely the way we would all like to be, and in Beverly Hills, looking young is a must.

Most of us however, don’t have the time for expensive anti-aging treatments and lets be honest, we can’t all have Rod’s ravishingly good looks.

Dr. Assassa has shared his wisdom on how to slow the aging process and given a variety of anti-aging tips to Preferred Consumer, an online consumer magazine.

Here’s a taste of some of the wisdom shared:

Anti-Aging Tips For Your 20s

In our 20s, skin cell renewal drops by up to 28 percent; dead skin cells are not as easily shed, and external factors are starting to have a greater impact, leaving our skin slightly duller. Below are some anti-aging tips for those in their 20s to keep their skin healthy:

•    Avoid sunlight or cover-up: Up to 80 percent of aging is directly related to sun exposure. Penetrating UVA rays damage collaged fibers and elastin coils in your skin.
•    Now is a good time to quit smoking: Smoking inhibits oxygen from getting to the outer layer of your skin, which causes premature aging. Additionally, the motion of smoking over a long period of time can cause fine lines around your mouth. This is not an appealing look!
•    Use a daily skin care regimen: You should cleanse, moisturize and use SPF on a daily basis. It is also important to exfoliate 2-3 times a week to promote skin renewal on a regular basis.
