The first and most important is sunscreen. I recommend patients use a sunscreen of SPF 40 or more on a daily basis every morning and ideally to use a sunscreen with the zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as the main ingredient. The second thing I commonly recommend for patients that is a retinol or retinoid used at night before bed these medications have been shown to improve fine lines and wrinkles and protect from sun damage in clinical studies. The third thing I recommend for patients for a good anti-aging regimen is to just get a good moisturizing cream - this is often very simple and just includes finding a good cream in your local pharmacy that contains ceramides. Ceramides have been shown to be an important ingredient for restoring moisture to the skin barrier. The next thing I often recommend people add to their anti-aging regimen is an antioxidant. There are multiple different antioxidant creams and serums on the market and the best way to know which one is actually going to help with your skin is to ask your dermatologist.
