Expert tips to prevent ageing and maintain healthy skin in your 20s, 30s and 40s

Skin issues including fine lines, pigmentation, discolouration, uneven texture and wrinkles have become increasingly common these days.

“The reason behind premature ageing is stress, rising pollution levels, poor nutrition and increased exposure to blue light. We have been getting cases of a lot of 25 year olds who have developed skin texture similar to 70 year olds because of the above-mentioned factors.

However, such skin issues can be avoided by incorporating a regular skincare routine. Besides that, one can also opt for certain injectable skin remodelling treatments including Profhilo, which have almost zero downtime to pump in nutrition for preventing premature ageing,” said Dr Ami Shah, dermatologist, cosmetologist and laser surgeon in Surat.

Here are some of the essential tips from the expert to maintain healthy and young-looking skin:

*Emphasise more on prevention than worrying about the skin issues.

*Major skin issues faced in this age are dull skin, breakouts, acne and blackheads. All these happen due to the hormonal changes in the body.

*It’s imperative to have a healthy lifestyle, follow a nutritious diet and good sleep.

*Skincare regime should involve CTM. Never put make-up on while going to bed. Moisturise your skin well no matter if you have oily skin. Ensure that your moisturiser and toner have hyaluronic acid in it.

&Apply sunscreen when stepping out. Sun burns, tanning, rashes, itchiness, even skin cancer are caused by exposure to sun’s harmful radiation.

*You need to check whether your sunscreen provides protection from UVA and UVB radiation besides HCV and iron oxide.

*Never ignore skin issues in this age. Certain medical treatments are designed to take care of these issues holistically.
