The best skin plan for your 20s is to focus on good skin care, protection, and prevention. A lot of women in their 20s are still dealing with acne. So, concentrate on taking care of the skin with good skincare products that will not contribute to acne. A good moisturizer and sunscreen are essential. Additionally, adding products such as vitamin C and retinol for prevention would be the next step. There are a variety of good Vitamin C products available. Having a high-quality vitamin C is essential. A lot of the products out there are not good quality vitamin C due to the fact that vitamin C can easily oxidize and break down. At Natural Image OC, we carry high-quality Vitamin C from SkinCeuticals, ISDIN, and Revision.
There are a variety of lasers that are beneficial to women in their 20s. These lasers can target specific concerns that some women in their 20s may be dealing with, such as acne scarring and the post-inflammatory erythema that accompanies acne scarring. Vbeam and Fraxel are the perfect combination to address these issues. Additionally, an added benefit of any laser treatment is the stimulation of collagen for an overall improvement in the texture and tone of the skin.
Many women in their 20s want a quick refresh of their skin. The one-and-me laser treatment, which is a light laser of either 1927 or 1550 wavelength, delivers a treatment with very little downtime to refresh the appearance of the skin. These treatments deliver more results with less downtime than most medium-depth skin peels. For light freckling and the appearance of pigmentation that can come in your 20s, IPL is a wonderful tool to even out the skin tone and make your skin glow. Routinely doing IPLs yearly has the added bonus of addressing red in the skin and stimulating collagen for an antiaging benefit over time. Lastly, microneedling is a quick and easy treatment that can address texture issues, stimulate collagen, and rejuvenate the skin.
