September is “Healthy Aging Month”

When you think of aging gracefully, what’s the first thing you think of? For many of us, it’s the youthful appearance of our skin. Skin care is an important part of everyone’s life, no matter how old you are.

As you age, your skin does too, and shows the signs of how you’ve lived your life, from the positive (laughter and fun), to the negative (alcohol, stress, and sun exposure).

Your skin is an organ that needs to be nourished from the inside out. To achieve the results you really want, you need to build a solid foundation for good health from within. A healthy cardiovascular system means improved circulation, which brings more oxygen to the muscles beneath the skin. This promotes firmness and nourishment to these inner skin layers, which radiates to the outer layers.

Treat your skin right with pharmaceutical grade skin care products, which can help diminish the appearance of skin damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. The outer layer of your skin is replaced about every 28 days, but as you age this process can take a little longer. Poor skin care practices when you’re young can lead to acne and clogged pores, and as you age clogged pores lead to enlarged pores and greater wrinkling.

The delicate areas around your eyes, décolletage, and lips need to be treated with specialized anti-aging products. The skin under and around your eyes and neck is extremely thin, while your lips are similar to the skin on your feet and hands. These areas need to be treated different to achieve the desired results.

Quality skin care products work by supplying the skin with what it loses gradually over time. All of our products at Byrd Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Center have clinically proven results, and our staff is trained to help you find the best product for your skin type and age.
