1. 0:00tired of seeing new wrinkles and Fine
2. 0:01Lines every morning luckily skin aging
3. 0:04is something that can easily and rapidly
4. 0:06be reversed with new tools available to
5. 0:08us today in this video I'll show you a
6. 0:10step-by-step system backed by the latest
7. 0:12scientific evidence to reverse the signs
8. 0:14of skin aging how fast you'll see
9. 0:16results and other skin treatments that
10. 0:18are on the horizon and this is not just
11. 0:20for vanity reasons how our skin looks
12. 0:23reflects our chances of living a long
13. 0:25life here's a step-by-step guide to
14. 0:27rejuvenate your skin quickly first we
15. 0:30need to stop the damage there's no point
16. 0:32in trying to heal the skin if it's only
17. 0:34going to become wrinkled and damaged
18. 0:36again so there are two types of Aging
19. 0:38processes intrinsic and extrinsic aging
20. 0:41and we need to address both starting
21. 0:43with intrinsic aging intrinsic or
22. 0:46chronological aging affects the skin of
23. 0:48the entire body it makes the skin appear
24. 0:51dry pale thin and transparent epidermal
25. 0:54turnover is also slowed down and it
26. 0:56takes longer for new skin cells formed
27. 0:58at the deeper layers of the skin to
28. 1:00migrate to the surface we have decreased
29. 1:02blood supply and these changes
30. 1:04contribute to delayed wound healing the
31. 1:06amount of dermal collagen may be
32. 1:08decreased by up to 75% with age and the
33. 1:11remaining collagen is fragmented and
34. 1:13disarrayed senescent cells accumulate in
35. 1:15the skin of older people and there's a
36. 1:17decrease in subdermal fat this loss of
37. 1:20support contributes to skin wrinkling
38. 1:22and sagging as well as increase
39. 1:24susceptibility to trauma so what do we
40. 1:26do about intrinsic aging how do we slow
41. 1:29down in ideally stop these changes in
42. 1:30the skin well there are two creams and
43. 1:33three supplements with strong evidence
44. 1:35the first step is retinoid creams so the
45. 1:38term retinoid refers to synthetic and
46. 1:40natural analoges of vitamin A these
47. 1:43creams can stimulate the activity of our
48. 1:45skin cells particularly cartinos sites
49. 1:47and vibr blasts so think of retinoid
50. 1:50creams as personal trainers for your
51. 1:52skin cells so just like a trainer helps
52. 1:54strengthen and tone your muscles
53. 1:55retinoids push your skin cells to work
54. 1:58harder promoting skin turnover over and
55. 2:00boosting collagen production retinoid
56. 2:02creams also strengthen the Skin's
57. 2:04protective function reduces water loss
58. 2:06and inhibits metella protases so matell
59. 2:09protases are a group of enzymes that
60. 2:11break down proteins and they break down
61. 2:14the extracellular Matrix not good
62. 2:16retinoid creams help protect against
63. 2:18this finally retinoid creams enhance
64. 2:21remodeling of reticular fibers and
65. 2:23stimulate the growth of new blood
66. 2:25vessels in the deeper layers of the skin
67. 2:27and multiple randomized control trials
68. 2:30have confirmed these effects such as
69. 2:32this 2007 study retinol lotion or a
70. 2:35placebo was applied to either the right
71. 2:37or the left arm and after 24 weeks there
72. 2:39were significant differences between the
73. 2:41retinol treated and Placebo treated skin
74. 2:44in their wrinkling scores these
75. 2:45improvements were accompanied by
76. 2:47increases in Matrix molecules
77. 2:49procollagen and the strengthening of
78. 2:51extracellular Matrix but when first
79. 2:53using retinoid creams it does make the
80. 2:55skin more sensitive and it can inflame
81. 2:57the skin so these creams are normally
82. 2:59used used at night and the
83. 3:01recommendation is to always wear
84. 3:02sunscreen during the day and we'll come
85. 3:04back to sunscreen later in the video
86. 3:06pregnant women should also not use these
87. 3:08creams and broadly speaking there are
88. 3:10two common types of retinoid creams
89. 3:12we've got adapalene and trinoline
90. 3:15adapalene is the least irritating
91. 3:16topical retinoid and it's more targeted
92. 3:19to The receptors in the skin whereas
93. 3:21tanoan is an earlier version and it
94. 3:23generally causes more irritation to the
95. 3:25skin but which type is better for skin
96. 3:28aging well in a head-to-head trial in
97. 3:302018 both adapalene and tanoan were
98. 3:33equally effective at reversing the signs
99. 3:35of skin aging so adapalene is probably
100. 3:38preferred since it's less irritating to
101. 3:40the skin and it works just as well but
102. 3:42in New Zealand we don't have access to
103. 3:44the higher strength 0.3% adapalene so I
104. 3:47use tanoan 0.05% at night but not every
105. 3:51night and this brings me onto the next
106. 3:52cream that I use on to step two lactic
107. 3:56acid and glycolic acid are exfoliants
108. 3:58that when used over the longterm affect
109. 4:00the deeper layers of the skin and reduce
110. 4:02wrinkles the clinical guidelines note
111. 4:04that these acids help collagen and
112. 4:06elastin to regenerate making Fine Lines
113. 4:09less obvious and these recommendations
114. 4:11are based on Trials such as this one
115. 4:13where treatment with lactic acid
116. 4:15resulted in improvements in skin
117. 4:16firmness thickness and improved
118. 4:18smoothness and appearance of lines and
119. 4:20wrinkles lactic acid and glycolic acid
120. 4:23are known as Alpha hydroxy acids and
121. 4:25there's also beta hydroxy acids such as
122. 4:27salicylic acid both Alpha and beta
123. 4:30hydroxy acids help in the removal of
124. 4:32dead skin cells and promote skin renewal
125. 4:34so on Monday and Thursday nights I apply
126. 4:37both the alpha and beta hydroxy acids
127. 4:39and I leave them on overnight but on
128. 4:41those nights I don't apply the retinoid
129. 4:43cream to finish off the intrinsic aging
130. 4:46section before moving on to extrinsic
131. 4:48aging the third step is supplements
132. 4:50specifically three supplements with
133. 4:52strong evidence of benefit and I've
134. 4:54recently made a video about all three of
135. 4:56them here but in short they are collagen
136. 4:58peptides 10 to 15 G hyaluronic acid 200
137. 5:02mg and vitamin B3 but not in mega doses
138. 5:05the hyaluronic acid and vitamin B3 I
139. 5:08take as part of
140. 5:10micrites supplement or use any of these
141. 5:12skin creams does not in any way mean
142. 5:14that you should as well now let's have a
143. 5:17look at extrinsic aging of the skin
144. 5:19extrinsic aging is related to
145. 5:21environmental factors and it was first
146. 5:23reported at the end of the 19th century
147. 5:25and it was then described as farmer skin
148. 5:27or sailor skin extrinsic generally
149. 5:30affects the exposed areas of the body
150. 5:32such as the face the neck and the arms
151. 5:34and the features of photo damage include
152. 5:37roughness deep wrinkling dis
153. 5:39pigmentation and Tangi Tasia which are
154. 5:41small visible red blood vessels and they
155. 5:43represent broken capillaries so how do
156. 5:46we treat extrinsic aging of the skin
157. 5:48well the fourth step in reversing the
158. 5:50signs of skin aging is diet and as the
159. 5:53clinical guidelines point out nutrition
160. 5:55is known to affect extrinsic aging now
161. 5:57no diet is going to be perfect for every
162. 5:59one but there are some Diet fundamentals
163. 6:02that are associated with improved skin
164. 6:04Health a Mediterranean style diet rich
165. 6:06in plant-based Foods featuring plentiful
166. 6:09fresh fruit and vegetables herbs nuts
167. 6:11beans and whole grains with moderate
168. 6:13amounts of seafood Dairy poultry and
169. 6:16eggs and occasional red meat is
170. 6:18associated with good skin Health but on
171. 6:20the other hand higher fat and
172. 6:22carbohydrate intake has been associated
173. 6:24with an increased risk of wrinkles and
174. 6:26skin atrophy again no diet is perfect
175. 6:29for every one and I encourage my
176. 6:30patients to have a diet that's high in
177. 6:32lean protein plenty of fiber from Whole
178. 6:35fruits and non-starchy vegetables
179. 6:37unsaturated fats like extra virgin olive
180. 6:39oil walnuts almonds avocados and some
181. 6:42salmon the fifth step is exercise and a
182. 6:45really interesting paper came out in
183. 6:47June last year that looked at resistance
184. 6:49training and its effects on skin aging
185. 6:52it was a 16-week randomized control
186. 6:54trial and it found that resistance
187. 6:56exercise counteract skin aging such as
188. 6:59deterior ation in skin elasticity upper
189. 7:01dermal structure and dermal thickness
190. 7:03aerobic training also had positive
191. 7:05effects on skin elasticity but it did
192. 7:07not improve dermal thickness and it
193. 7:09emphasizes the point that in addition to
194. 7:11aerobic exercise we need to do
195. 7:13resistance exercise we have to lift
196. 7:16weights and emphasize that our diet on
197. 7:18the inside is projected to our skin on
198. 7:20the outside the next step is sleep a
199. 7:232021 metaanalysis found what we already
200. 7:26intuitively know a lack of sleep
201. 7:28accelerates the signs of skin aging so
202. 7:30think of sleep as your nightly repair
203. 7:32session for your skin during deep sleep
204. 7:34your body goes into overdrive repairing
205. 7:37damage and rejuvenating your skin
206. 7:39skimping on sleep is like skipping
207. 7:40maintenance on a machine it starts to
208. 7:42show wear and tear quickly the same was
209. 7:45found for the seventh step Stress
210. 7:47Management and the final two steps to
211. 7:49treat extrinsic aging before we have a
212. 7:51look at more advanced strategies to
213. 7:53reverse the signs of skin aging are some
214. 7:55further skin creams so the eighth step
215. 7:58overall is a moisturized with ceramides
216. 8:00ceramides are essentially the glue that
217. 8:02holds our skin cells together and helps
218. 8:04keep our Skin Barrier intact and healthy
219. 8:07in 2019 a randomized control trial
220. 8:10showed that ceramides significantly
221. 8:12decreased wrinkles and improved skin
222. 8:14texture the second cream and it's the
223. 8:16most important cream of all that I've
224. 8:18mentioned so far is sunscreen but it's
225. 8:20crucial to pick a sunscreen with a
226. 8:22certain ingredient in it but before I
227. 8:24get on to that here's a striking photo
228. 8:26of a 92-year-old who used sunscreen on
229. 8:28her face but not her neck think of your
230. 8:31skin as a delicate piece of fabric just
231. 8:33as constant exposure to sunlight can
232. 8:35fade and damage that fabric UV rays can
233. 8:38cause significant harm to the skin using
234. 8:40sunscreen is like putting a protective
235. 8:42cover over that fabric and it prevents
236. 8:44wear and tear the only push back I've
237. 8:46seen against sunscreen that I've seen
238. 8:48online is safety which we'll cover
239. 8:50shortly but first in a landmark 2013
240. 8:53trial of 93 adults the group who took
241. 8:56sunscreen daily had no detectable
242. 8:58increase in their skin AG aging after 4
243. 9:00and A2 years and a follow-up 2016 study
244. 9:03showed the reversal of signs of skin
245. 9:05Aging in the group who used sunscreen
246. 9:07but there are concerns with some
247. 9:09sunscreen ingredients so broadly we have
248. 9:11mineral sunscreens and chemical
249. 9:13sunscreens while chemical sunscreen
250. 9:15ingredients offer better protection
251. 9:17against UV radiation they're easier to
252. 9:19apply and are waterresistant most
253. 9:21chemical sunscreen ingredients can be
254. 9:23absorbed through the skin and that's
255. 9:25created a worry that those ingredients
256. 9:27can disrupt hormone levels those
257. 9:29concerns are based on single cell and
258. 9:31mice studies where extremely high doses
259. 9:33of those ingredients are given and yes
260. 9:35there are changes to hormone levels and
261. 9:38responses however studies in humans have
262. 9:40been reassuring with no evidence for
263. 9:42endocrine effects in humans that's
264. 9:45because the amount of these ingredients
265. 9:46that enter the bloodstream in humans is
266. 9:48minute and the American Academy of
267. 9:50Dermatology concluded that the science
268. 9:52doesn't show that any of the sunscreen
269. 9:54ingredients currently available in the
270. 9:56US are harmful to human health
271. 9:59nevertheless Some people prefer to use
272. 10:01mineral sunscreens such as zinc oxide as
273. 10:04those ingredients while they don't offer
274. 10:05as good UV protection they don't get
275. 10:07absorbed and alter MD is a popular
276. 10:10choice however there is a chemical
277. 10:12ingredient that offers The Best of Both
278. 10:14Worlds called bitol it offers fantastic
279. 10:17UV protection but it's a large molecule
280. 10:19and it doesn't get absorbed through the
281. 10:21skin there's no other sunscreen
282. 10:23ingredient on the planet that's been
283. 10:24tested as much as this one and it's
284. 10:27hoped that bitol will be FDA approved d
285. 10:29by the end of 2025 now it's been widely
286. 10:32used overseas in Europe for decades but
287. 10:34it's just the FDA approval that we're
288. 10:36waiting on for use in the USA so if
289. 10:39you're living in the US there are ways
290. 10:40to get batal sunscreens if you go
291. 10:42looking and that's all I can say on the
292. 10:44matter I apply a moisturizer first in
293. 10:47the morning and then wait a couple of
294. 10:48minutes then I apply the sunscreen so
295. 10:51this nine-step system to reverse the
296. 10:53signs of skin aging uses the latest
297. 10:55scientific evidence and patients
298. 10:57generally notice a significant
299. 10:58Improvement in the skin after following
300. 11:00the system for about 30 days but for
301. 11:03those who want to know additional
302. 11:04strategies here are some more advanced
303. 11:06options that have great evidence in per
304. 11:09menopausal women hormone replacement
305. 11:11therapy May delay skin thinning the skin
306. 11:13is less dry with fewer wrinkles and the
307. 11:15wound healing is faster than prior to
308. 11:17treatment Botox injections are another
309. 11:20option as are laser treatments
310. 11:22photodynamic therapy radio frequency
311. 11:24devices and possibly red light therapy
312. 11:27so please let me know in the comments if
313. 11:28you'd like me to do a video about these
314. 11:30more advanced skin aging treatments in
315. 11:32the meantime check out this video here
316. 11:34that goes into detail about three
317. 11:36supplements that have strong evidence of
318. 11:38benefit to reverse the signs of skin
319. 11:40aging and a massive thank you to all of
320. 11:42the patrons supporting the channel
