I have started taking in a new multivitamin + mineral capsule called Conzace. My sister's dermatologist prescribed this vitamin to her but I decided to take it too and note any changes if ever. It is a green, soft gel capsule that should be taken with food.
The components of Conzace are 5,000 IU of Retinol Palmitate or Vitamin A, 100 IU of dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate or Vitamin E, 500 mg of Ascorbic Acid, and 25 mg of Zinc (as Sulfate Monohydrate). IU stands for international unit, used to measure vitamins A, D and E. Vitamins A, C, E are antioxidants essential for boosting the immune system and limiting the harm done by free radicals, thus making skin healthy and glowing. At least, that's what we all hope our skin would turn out to be even when our necks begin to sag.
Now if you are ever wondering what type of products to use according to your age, here are some pointers I gathered:
If you are in your 20s, you should prevent fine lines and wrinkles early. Using a sunscreen with SPF 15 is a good start. Smoking is also one factor that can clog the pores of the skin, so quit if possible.
If you are in your 30s, using a facial moisturizer, sunscreen, and firming lotion is necessary.
If you are in your 40s and over, it is important to use an anti-aging cream that targets specific problems like fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and freckles.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Do we want the time to run out of us? Off we go to salvage our skin then. After all, we might be chuffed to bits, as the Brits would say, as we look youthful and rosy.
