When Should I Start an Anti-Aging Regimen?

What age is the best to start a regular anti-aging routine? Now, says our expert -- try her tips to get started today.

By Gwen Flamberg

Question: "When should I start using an anti-aging regimen?"

Answer: Right now! "It's never too early to start an anti-aging routine," says Doris Day, MD, a dermatologist in New York City.

The easiest way to prevent your skin from showing signs of aging is to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 every day. Choose a formula that contains brightening ingredients such as glucosamine to help diminish hyperpigmentation like brown spots. If you're plagued by fine lines, use a treatment that contains alpha-hydroxy acids to turn over surface cells and peptides; this will help build collagen and elastin in your deeper layers.

A final word from Dr. Day: "It's very important to get rest, drink plenty of water, take a daily multivitamin, and keep a young mind-set!"
