Healthy Skin Tips

By: Lynn Thompson

Summer may be behind us, but the effects it has on our skin are not. The summer sun accelerates the photoaging process, meaning a "healthy tan" is really a sign of sun damage. Dr. David E. Bank tells us that anti-aging is a year-round commitment and there are three key tips to achieving and maintaining younger, healthier looking skin.Tip #1Avoid Direct SunlightThe first step in preventing photoaging is to avoid direct sunlight, particularly during peak hours.Tip #2Daily use of an SPF of at least 15Because not all exposure can be avoided, daily use of an SPF of at least 15 is an essential step for protecting your skin from the sun's aging rays. Be sure to select a broadspectrum formula that protects from both UVA and UVB rays.Tip #3Look for Products with Active IngredientsAnti-oxidants such as Vitamin C or E, Green Tea or Grape Seed extract may have a synergistic effect when used with sunscreens.There are many anti-aging procedures and treatments available to fight the signs of photodamage. For an effective topical treatment, Dr. Bank likes to prescribe Renova because it's clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles when used as part of a comprehensive skin care regimen. It's also been shown to increase pro-collagen. The new pump dispenser provides users with the exact indicated amount of product, which gives patients a great value and helps to achieve optimal results.For more info visit www.aboutrenova.com
