Wonders
of Retin~A |
|
|
If
your skin has fine, superficial lines and wrinkles, you’re
best served by getting a prescription for Retin-A, a topical,
vitamin A derivative that can turn back the clock by stimulating
collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Retin-A
works wonderfully on sun-damaged skin and shows results
in just three to six months. By stimulating the skin’s
collagen, it restores resiliency to aging or sun-damaged
skin and promotes a faster turnover of cells. It also increases
production of tiny blood vessels, , which give the skin
a healthy, rosy, younger look. The only downside to this
wonder drug, and it’s not much of one, is that you
must use it daily
|
once
you suspend use, the antiaging benefits stop as well. Since
Retin-A makes skin extra-sensitive to the sun, you must also
make sure to wear an SPF 15 sunscreen every day. A few people
(very few) can’t use Retin-A because it makes their
skin ultra-dry, flaky, irritated, and supersensitive. For
those people, they can try a vitamin A derivative, which are
gentler on skin. |
