Maintain young skin


Instead of using Soap and water, Try use Creams and lotions.
Scrubbing your face actually dries and ages the skin. The new regimen?

Cleanse gently, moisturize daily, swear by SPF 30, and think about an anti-aging cream.
"Over-the-counter products are best for people in their 20s and 30s," says Dale Isaacson, MD, associate clinical professor in the department of dermatology and medicine at George Washington Medical Center. "Once you get into your 40s, you probably need something stronger."
Among the ingredients used to reduce fine lines and restore texture, so far vitamins C and A seem to stand out. In drugstore creams, look for L-ascorbic acid and retinol (the forms of vitamins C and A you want). At the prescription level, retinoids (like Retin A) have the most science behind them. Isaacson also uses formulations with high concentrations of vitamin C, growth hormones, and coffeeberry.
