Ageing is caused mainly by the following external influences-

• UV light (UVA) even on a cloudy day
• light emitted from electronic devices
  
• pollution
• smoking
• alcohol
• poor diet
• dehydration
• lack of sleep
• stress
• excessive facial expressions

• lines and wrinkles
  
•  pigmentation and uneven skin tone/age spots
  
•  rough dull skin
• dry skin
• sensitive skin
• loose skin
• crepey skin
• visible pores
  

Anti-ageing skincare can tackle signs of skin ageing by -

• using antioxidants which reduce skin damage from ageing influences (Vit B3 (niacinamide), C, D, E) and the stimulation of Collagen and Elastin from peptides- which helps to improve strength, resilience and elasticity of skin
  
• reregulation of the pigment cells (pigment creams) - which evens skin tone and colour
  
• exfoliation of damaged surface skin cells (physical particles and chemical acids) - which smooths skin and brightens it
  
• stimulation of fresh healthy skin cells and production of collagen and elastin(Vitamin A) - which helps to prevent and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles
  
• strengthening the skin's barrier function to reducethe inflammation that causes cell damage - which reduces skin sensitivity and helps prevent the signs of ageing - good for sensitive skin
  
• hydrating and plumping the skin(moisturisers and hydrators) - which makes the skin look less dry,thin and wrinkled
  
• shielding the skin from UV light /other light emissions and pollution (daily broad spectrum sunscreens/SPFs) - which helps to prevent the signs of ageing
  

These different types of skincare products are usually applied in this order although some are more appropriate for AM use and others for PM use.

The Milecross Clinic recommends three anti-ageing skincare ranges that contain these active ingredients.

Obagi Skincare, Epionce Skincare and Teoxane Skincare

These ranges contain active ingredients to hydrate, protect and renew the skin with their own pathway and approach. Assessment and specific recommendations from our practitioner are advised before any of these systems are started.

Obagi

Obagi skincare systems tier from introductory level anti-ageing skincare up to high grade treatment for the effects of ageing.  Patients can start high up the ladder or begin low and build up to using strong ingredients for dramatic results.

They aim to treat skin problems down to a cellular level and have a great scientific backing with many impressive clinical trial results.

Obagi gets 'straight to the point' and prioritises results over product smells and textures.

Obagi products are designed to work in co-ordination with Obagi clinic peel treatments and prep and soothe the skin before and afterwards for optimal results.

There is a sensitive range within Obagi called Suzan Obagi MD.

Obagi does not test on animals.
