With so many anti-aging products in the market, it’s sometimes difficult to know which one to use. These dermatologist shopping tips can help you feel more secure while shopping.
Here are some tips:
- Begin with sunscreen and moisturizer. Dermatologists agree that the two most effective anti-aging products are sunscreen and moisturizer. Using these daily can make a significant difference.
When purchasing sunscreen, look for one that contains all of the following:
- Broad-spectrum
- SPF 30 (or greater)
It is acceptable to use a moisturizer that contains sunscreen. Ensure that the product provides broad-spectrum protection and has an SPF of 30 or greater.
- Address your primary aging skin concern. Allow sunscreen and moisturizer to work for a few weeks. Then examine your skin. Is there an aging sign that still bothers you?
Concentrating on a single issue such as wrinkles or dark spots will yield the best results. Look for a product that addresses your specific problem. This is for two reasons:
- No product is capable of reversing all signs of skin aging.
- Using multiple anti-aging products in a short period, such as a few days or weeks, can irritate the skin, making you appear older.
- Sunscreen, moisturizer, and other anti-aging skincare products that are formulated for your skin type will work best. For instance, if your skin is prone to oiliness, choose an oil-control moisturizer. You want to see the words “sensitive skin” on the label if you have sensitive skin. This is critical because no single product is effective for everyone.
- Read product labels and choose a product that satisfies the following criteria:
- Allergen-free
- Non-acnegenic or non-comedogenic
- Consumer service hotline
