Anti-Aging Tips and Products

[ataypool]

Re moisturisers, baka dermatogists niyo followers ni Dr Zein Obagi who does not believe in them.

Heavy moisturisers break me out so serums na lang ginamit ko noon like Olay Total Effects.

Now I'm a convert of Neutrogena Day Hydroboost Gel with spf 15 na may hyaluronic acid and mabilis ma-absorb ng skin ko. Pag sa umaga ko nilalagay kasi hindi pa sobrang init. If on my lunch break when going out, I wash the baby wipes with water and wipe it on my face, then put on a sunscreen with a higher spf or the Neutrogena gel depende sa weather.

^^ gamit ka na lang ng proper eyecream sis kesa petroleum jelly.

^ ano ma-recommend mo na eye cream, sis?

[icedtallcoffee]

ang weird. I can't not use moisturizer. Mas maganda talaga skin ko kapag nagmomoisturizer ako. Pag hindi ako nagmomoisturizer my skin looks ruddy and dull. I have oily skin.

Yung derm ko before ayaw din magprescribe ng moisturizer. Pero acceptable naman yung reason nya: para mabawasan yung possible culprit ng pimples ko noon. The more products, the more interactions (both sa skin and to other products) so mahirap mapinpoint what's really causing the problem.

I believe in moisturizers kasi, moisturized skin daw is strong and more resilient to forces. Kahit basic moisturizers lang pwede.

Yung sa sunblock naman, I believe that most sunblocks or sunscreens are moisturizers na din basta yung mga cream or gel cream formulas, kasi kapag binabasa ko yung ingredients, may mga emollients, humectants and occlusives naman sa list. Except siguro yung mga japanese na watery sunscreens na laden with alcohol.

oo nga, baka depende sa state ng facial skin if need pa magmoisturizer or not? I remember this japanese woman Masako Mizutani
na sikat kasi she looks really young like her daughter's sister lang. And she mentioned na she applies moisturizer whenever she remembers, kaya may moisturizer siya na nakalagay sa sala para kapag nakita niya, naglalagay siya.

I guess I want to hear a korean derma talk about anti aging kasi sila mga obsess sa baby faced features (kaso makasurgery nga lang sila)

Heto ang problem ko - sunblock. Whenever I use it, nagkakabutlig ang face ko. I feel sad kasi it is one of the most important skin regimen that I need to follow. Pasalamat na lang ako kasi oily ang skin ko so wala pa akong gaanong wrinkles, to think I don't use sunblock. I just use light moisturizers.

Meron din akong nabasang article written by a cosmetic chemist na yung moisturized skin mas kaya mag-handle yung negative effects of the sun. Syempre best pa din sunblock.

Anyway, ipaglalaban ko talaga moisturizer ko

Sis try mo kaya yung - Shiseido Ultimate Cleansing Oil ganyan din ako dati eh akala ko allergic ako sa sunblock.. yun pala dahil water resistant un ginagamit ko na sunblock hindi sya natatanggal ng regular cleanser kaya ako ng kaka break out.

[mimiku]

^Para kasing hindi naabsorb ng skin ko yung sunblock though I am not sure lang kung baka hindi lang ako hiyang. I tried moisturizers kasi na may mataas na spf ayun hindi talaga siya pwede. Anyway, sige I'll try to purchase yung suggestion mo. Thanks!

[ataypool]

^Why won't you try the sunblock/moisturisers with spf for babies and children?

[roxyhart]

I was told, if you break out from using sunblock, it's not because of the sunblock per se -- you probably are not removing all traces of your sunblock, which causes break outs. Double cleanse is recommended if you use sunblock. As for me, it's a must everyday na, I don't go out of the house without it.

Let me share this very exhaustive and informative post on anti-ageing. She's deemed an authority naman in skincare, and you might learn a thing or two from her as well:
http://www.carolinehirons.com/2010/08/beauty-mouth-dissects-anti-ageing.html

Just to sum up a bit, do avoid:
- too much sun (use sunblock!)
- too much sugar (ang hirap hirap nito huhu!)
- smoking. as in no smoking

As for the products, do use the following:
- SPF
- Vitamin A (retinoids)
- Acids: glycolic/lactic/salicylic
- Vitamin C&E
- Niacynamide

I will add something too: adequate sleep, moderate exercise, lots and lots of water, a diet rich in plants and other whole food, inner grace and lots of optimism to hurdle us through life's setbacks.

Our emotional and mental health are connected to our skin. We are radiant if we are blissful inside. If stressed and troubled, our skin turns dull and drier than usual.
