Age Defying

If you start using age defying products while you're a teen, will your skin stay young?

Basically, will you stay young looking?
I know it's stupid but I want to know if I need to start adding age defying products to my beauty ritual. :)

No. In fact many of those "age defying" products (aka wrinkle creams) can actually damage your skin and promote the break down of natural collagen. This can cause premature wrinkling.

Some of the products just contain collagen, but most often, they contain irritants that just make your skin swell, temporarily filling in wrinkles. These irritants can promote cellular and natural collagen break down.

So in general these products are bad. When, and only when you get wrinkles, you may want to use a wrinkle cream. When that happens, and not until, use a collagen only cream. It'll take longer to work, no instant results, and it's still only a temporary fix, but it's much better for your skin.

Right now, the best thing you can do for your skin is to eat a balanced diet, drink a lot of water, live a healthy lifestyle, wear sunscreen, and go easy on the chemical treatments.
