I am a 67 year old power lifter, I have been working out since I was 15 and I still work out in the gym 4 times a week. For my age I look like 40 years old no wrinkles on my face and no sagging skin. I only eat fresh food and fruits and vegetables and nuts I am healthy too. I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't have diabetes. I am an athlete, I do not use steroids and I eat healthy food with collagen because collagen is important for my skin and my sport. Dr Anthony is right, you should take care of your skin with cosmetics and also with healthy food, because sugar or smoking or junk food and trans fat and sunlight ages the skin.

1: Cleanse
Some people only cleanse their skin once a day, and if you do, do it at night bc at night you’ve gotta get rid of that day’s worth of pollution that sits on your skin, oil and dirt, dried sweat and especially of makeup. Let your pores breathe and let your skin rejuvenate overnight

2: Toner - can skip

3: Retinol or Growth factor
Anti aging cream and ideally a retinol or a growth factor or peptide based type of cream. Retinol is Youn’s 1st choice of anti aging cream, being a type of vitamin A. Its prescription strength is called Tretton Owen or Retin-A, scientifically shown to reduce the aging process, exfoliate the skin, thicken the dermis, etc.

Use it every night - top option for anti aging
The prob: can be hard for the skin to tolerate, some people get some temporary dryness and flaking, or even some inflammation. In most people it goes away, so if you’ve got sensitive skin and retinol does not work - go for a growth factor or peptide based cream

Growth factor has a little more science behind than the peptide cream, but the prob is they are really really expensive

Peptide based cream is really easy to tolerate, doesn’t have as much science backing up but do work and can help reverse your aging

4: Eye cream
Youn recommends retinol for the rest of your face, and retinol eye cream for the eyes. Retinol cream for face can be a little bit too strong and the skin of the eyelids is some of the thinnest skin of the body. If you apply aggressive retinol, it can get holter and thinner and a bit creepy

5: Moisturizer
Not something you have to apply to your skin, some people especially have oily skin then STOP at step 4 bc you don’t necessarily need except in the winter your skin can get really dry

Never miss an episode! Dr. Youn, I am about 7 weeks into using your collagen powder, and I’m seeing a difference in my skin already! Fair skinned, freckle prone 67 y.o. and the skin on my arms definitely is looking more youthful. I put a scoop in my first cup of coffee every morning. Yay me!
