What really works in the anti-aging industry

The anti-aging industry is booming. Here's what a dermatologist says truly works to protect and preserve your skin.

The anti-aging products market is estimated to reach $108.5 billion by 2033, with creams, serums, and concentrates claiming to reduce the effects of aging. Anti-aging to me means that you are trying to do whatever you can to stave off. The ravages of time. Dr. Rosemary Ingleton has seen an uptick in interest in anti-aging in her 20 years as *** board certified dermatologist. People were very private before. Now people are so much more open. Everything is in magazines. Everything is online. And so the stigma is being removed. She's also noticed her clientele getting younger. But I am seeing more people in their twenties asking for preventative Botox, people in their twenties, even some older teenagers asking to have their lips and hands. Because they know it's *** thing, they could get it done. Consumers should look out for marketing gimmicks that seem too good to be true. *** cream can only do so much. And you can't say that *** cream is gonna eliminate *** wrinkle. It will reduce the appearance of it, it will soften it, smoothen it, things like that. So read your packaging and if it sounds like it's *** little too much bragging going on. It's probably because it's not real. The number one dermatologist recommended way to prevent signs of aging, wear sunscreen daily. You know, you want *** minimum of an SPF 30. If someone tells me they're wearing an SPF 6, I just say don't bother. Beyond sunscreen, Doctor Ingleton suggests *** few ingredients to incorporate into your skincare routine. So I'm *** big believer in fruit acid. I love what they do for all skin types, bringing out radiance, and I love peptides. Peptides are great for helping with pumping your collagen, and the vitamin C is great as an antioxidant, so I think of it. As your armor that you put on before you go out each day. Your skincare routine doesn't need to be elaborate to be effective. My trifecta is wash your face, put an antioxidant on, and then put *** sunscreen on. Now, how do you know which sunscreen to choose? Well, our Hearst partners over at the Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab tested hundreds of sunscreens to identify the best products on the market for year-round use, and their number one pick. This right here, this is the Rodent and Fields essential face and body sunscreen SPF 50 and Teer said it had *** pretty silky texture as well as *** sheer finish. And then their number two pick was also this. This is the Hawaiian Tropic skin defense sunscreen lotion, also SPF 50, something you can get at your local drugstore for *** lower price point, also with *** pretty nice texture, just *** little bit thicker reporting in Washington, I'm Amy Lowe.
