A professional aesthetician has access to many types of facial masks and chemical peels. Luckily for Baby Boomers, science has begun to catch up with the aging process - at least superficially. Wrinkles, dull sagging skin or skin with blotchy pigmentation can benefit from some of the new technology that's available. Laser skin resurfacing, micro peels, and other techniques can smooth fine lines and wrinkles and even out some scars. These types of procedures are usually done in a plastic surgeon's office.
Patients report fewer side effects and little or no recuperation time.
Whether or not you choose to see a professional, you can do some things on your own to help keep your skin healthier and younger looking. Quit smoking - besides being generally unhealthy, puffing on cigarettes creates fine lines around the mouth. Keep a sun block handy - exposure to the sun can do more to accelerate the aging process than anything else. In fact, if you wear foundation, try to wear one that contains a sunscreen. And, don't forget to drink lots of water - flush out those foul impurities.
