Host 1: So what do you think about glycolic acid for an anti-aging type treatment?

Host 2: I love it. I think it is a great maintenance. I think it is essential, especially as you get into… Even starting at 25 when that collagen perception starts to slow down, keeping the skin smooth, keeping the surface clean and regenerating itself.

I love the combinations. I love the glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic. I like them when they are kind of blended together and you get the benefits of all three wonderful little acids.

Host 1: Glycolic acid can come in different percentages and you can find a lot of glycolic acid products in drugstores or…

Host 2: They are everywhere now.

Host 1: But usually what you are getting is a lower percentage of the glycolic Acid, because they don’t want you taking a very strong glycolic Acid and…

Host 2: Peeling your face!

[crosstalk]

Host 1: That is why when you go to an estheticians or a dermatologist, they know how long to leave it on for.

Host 3: Hopefully.

Host 1: Well hopefully, and the percentage to use for your particular skin type or your particular problem. But you can find some glycolic acid treatments that work really well. You might take a little bit longer to see results because you are not dealing with the higher percentage of concentration of the glycolic acid.

Host 3: But you want to see results over an extended amount of time, and that is the whole, I think, impetus. It’s prevention. It’s reversing. It’s not going to happen overnight and we all want it to happen overnight. “I don’t like this spot. Get it off.”

Host 1: Hi. Welcome to today’s talk with Diva Skincare. Today we are going to be talking about anti-aging and aging of the skin. How does it happen?

I think the first thing that is really important to know is that aging happens in the skin because of inflammation. There is a process that is called the inflammation cascade that is responsible for aging throughout the entire body.

You have probably heard of free radicals. Free radicals are produced as a result of that inflammation cascade, and they actually go in and damage healthy tissue, healthy cells. It is a natural process, but it is what is responsible for the bottom line aging to the skin and the body.

With that, I think…

Host 2: Unfortunately, about 90% of aging is due to extrinsic lifestyle. The sun is the number one aging factor. So if we are looking to prevent aging, SPF is going to be our number one defense.

Host 3: UVA and UVV protection; you have to do it everyday.

Host 1: Absolutely. Rain or shine.

Host 3: And it can be in your moisturizer. It can be in your makeup. But make sure you wear it, because that is going to give you the most protection.

Host 1: I think one thing that people don’t think about is when they get up in the morning and they put their sunscreen on, they think they are good for the whole day.

But actually, you really need to reapply that sunscreen, and I think that it is important for people to get used to it. If they are out for a day at the beach, of course they are going to be thinking reapply, but just in day to day living, your sunscreen is going to give you about three to four hours or so of protection.

That is where mineral makeup powders really come in handy, because you can reapply it.

Host 2: That is really convenient. It takes out the extra shine and evens out your skin tone. A really good defense also if you are going to do layering at home, remember your vitamin C.

Any serum that has antioxidants, which are going to combat the free radicals, vitamin C, E, A, whatever you can get into your skin before you are putting your sunscreen on is going to be great for defense, then to remembering to reapply throughout the day.

Host 3: It really is an excellent support for the skin.

Host 2: Well let’s talk a little bit about the retinol end products that we are seeing all over the place lately. I mean is it really a more mild version of Retin-A that you would get at your dermatologist’s office? What have you seen?
