If you’ve ever had trouble figuring out which products are best for your skin, this blog entry is dedicated to you.

We’ve put together a new 3-Step Product Guide to help you select the best anti aging product for your skin type. Here are a couple tips for using this new tool:

1. Understand your primary concern. Many times this can be the most confusing part of the product selection, as we often feel that “everything” is a primary concern. A good way to determine your main concern is to look in the mirror and identify the first skin concern you notice.

2. Customize your regimen: Once you’ve identified your primary concern, then review the targeted recommendations. These targeted recommendations will compliment your core products and help to address additional skin concerns.

3. Consider supplements and diet: Addressing skin concerns with anti aging treatments is the first step. However, to see the greatest impact on the skin in the shortest amount of consider adding a targeted supplement regimen and following Dr. Perricone’s anti-inflammatory diet.

Secret #4: Rejuvenate Your Facial Structure

It is not the fine lines and wrinkles that give the face an aged appearance. As we age, the muscles in the face begin to elongate and subsequently sag. Sagging, drooping muscles are the true hallmark of an aging face. Sugary, starchy foods causes an inflammatory response that results in the glycation of collagen in the skin and all other organs. This lays the foundation for the birth of wrinkles, sagging muscles, and loss of tone, elasticity and resilience.

Eat Your Way to Firmer Skin
What we eat can help determine how young (or old) we look. You’ve heard me speak repeatedly of the anti-aging benefits of a diet rich in antioxidants. Protein is not just an important component of an anti-inflammatory diet is of major importance in stimulating cells to repair themselves. Since we cannot store protein in our body, we must take in high quality protein every day. If our protein supply is inadequate or depleted, the body is forced to feed upon itself, resulting in the breakdown of both tissue and muscle. When we don’t get enough protein, and we combine that with a diet of high-glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance. This ongoing lack of protein is first notable in the face. The sharp, contoured cheekbones and crisp jaw line begin to lose definition.
