How often should you do anti-aging skin care?

In fact, there is no universal fixed frequency. The core depends on whether you choose daily anti-aging at home or medical anti-aging, combined with your own skin tolerance and current skin condition. You don’t need to stick to the timetable given by others.

I had a quarrel with several bloggers before. One group said that anti-aging should be done before wrinkles appear. At the age of 20, you have to use alcohol every day and do phototherapy every year. If you do it too late, it will be useless.； The other group says that anti-aging is something that only people over 30 years of age need to consider. Doing it too frequently will damage the skin barrier and make you age faster. In fact, both statements are a bit extreme. There is a ready-made example around me. A 24-year-old girl with dry and sensitive skin followed the trend and applied high-concentration alcohol A every day. Within two weeks, her face became red and irritated, and even the cream stung.

The gentle anti-aging skin care products we usually use, such as Bose and peptides, are actually fine if used every day. They are slow-growing products, just like feeding the skin a "nutritional meal" every day. The effect can only be seen after a long flow of water. Only anti-aging ingredients with exfoliating effects such as A-alcohol and high-concentration fruit acids really vary from person to person. For those with wall skin, they may not be able to bear the burden of using them every other day. For those with sensitive skin, 1-2 times a week is considered too much.

If you choose a medical and aesthetic anti-aging project, the span will be even greater. For an entry-level brightening and anti-aging program like photorejuvenation, it is perfectly fine to do it once a month for healthy skin, and it can also improve redness and dullness. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is best to do it only once every 1.5-2 months, otherwise it will easily turn into dark spots. As for deep anti-aging projects such as Thermage and Ultrasound Cannon, there have been different opinions in the industry. The general view is that once a year is enough, but many doctors say that collagen loss speeds up after 35+, and replenishing it every 8-10 months will be more effective. I had the Ultrasound Cannon last year at the age of 32, and it has been almost 10 months now. My jawline is indeed not as tight as it was just after the treatment. I plan to have it replenished in two months, and there is no problem of skin thinning.

You really don’t have to stick to a schedule. For example, if you have been working on a project for more than half a month recently, and your face has become particularly slumped, then apply an anti-aging patch mask twice more during this period, and add an anti-aging essence wet compress once a week. After your schedule is adjusted back and your skin condition stabilizes, you can return to the original frequency. It is very flexible. To put it bluntly, there is no standard answer to the matter of anti-aging. The frequency of others can be used as a reference at most. The most accurate criterion is whether your face feels comfortable after applying it and whether there is any visible firming and brightening. Don't make the mistake of plucking your face for the sake of the slogan "anti-aging as early as possible", which will be more gain than loss, right?
