I’m a dermatologist – my four everyday tips can REVERSE the signs of aging
ALMOST every older person with wrinkle-free skin gives the same piece of advice: Start your anti-aging effort young.
According to experts, there are simple steps you can take every day to prevent visible signs of aging.
TikTok user Dr Daniel Sugai, known to his followers as Dr SPF, shared his four everyday tips for preventing aging.
To actively reduce signs of aging, Dr SPF recommends boosting the levels of Collagen in your skin.
Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping the skin elastic, and young looking.
To increase your levels of Collagen, the dermatologist recommends using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and re-applying every two hours.

“Protect your skin, we don’t want to break down more Collagen than we need to,” the doctor advised his followers.
He said: “It has been shown in some studies that if you wear sunscreen all year round consistently, then you may be able to reverse the signs of photo aging.”
For his next tip, Dr SPF told viewers to make sure they are getting seven or more hours of sleep each night.
“Collagen production happens a lot at night while we sleep,” he explained.

The TikToker also recommended applying a pea-sized amount of retinoid to your face each night.
“Retinoids are great, they tell your fibroblasts on your second layer of skin to make more Collagen. [This] thickens up your skin [and gives] a more youthful balance,” Dr SPF said.
And finally, the skincare expert advised his followers to incorporate Vitamin C into their daily routines.
“Consider a Vitamin C serum to protect yourself from free radical damage from the sun during the day,” he said.

The TikTok user explained: “Ascorbic acid is quite unstable but it might be able to help increase collagen production.”
“There is on-going research to find the right Vitamin C derivative, that can go deep into the skin and influx Collagen production,” he added.
