A visit with a skin care specialist can get you on the right track to repairing prematurely aged skin. Ask for advice on nutritional supplements that contain antioxidants and revitalizing vitamins and minerals.

The goal of your skin treatment will be to increase cell turnover and make its rate more consistent with that of healthy skin. The rate healthy skin cell turnover is every 21 to 28 days. Here are some suggestions:

Rejuvenating facial combines deep cleansing with application of antioxidants and serums designed to reduce the visible signs of aging.

A glycolic peel with vitamin C removes dead skin cells, thoroughly exfoliates the skin, and stimulates new collagen production. New collagen production makes your skin not only appear younger, but also makes it behave as younger skin. Your skin will look more radiant, more vibrant, plump, and smooth.

Microdermabrasion is also good for thoroughly exfoliating dead skin cells and increasing cell turnover.

These skin treatments need to be repeated every four to six weeks, about as often as skin cells turn over. Your skin won't benefit with only one treatment, so schedule regular professional treatments, or learn how to continue skin treatments at home, per your skin care technician's advice. Otherwise, your results won't last.
