In an interview with The US Sun, he gave advice on how to combat the visible signs of aging.

INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS

Charette said sunscreen is “undoubtedly the cornerstone of any anti-aging regimen.”

However, it is not the only ingredient that should be used routinely to maintain a youthful appearance.

“Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that deeply hydrates the skin and plumps it from within,” he said.

“It is suitable for all ages, even teenagers, as it helps maintain skin health.”

He said retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that people in their late 20s to early 30s should use as soon as the first signs of aging become visible.

He said the ingredient stimulates collagen production, which reduces fine lines and improves skin texture.

“Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that brightens skin tone, protects against environmental damage and supports collagen synthesis,” he says.

“It can be used at any age, but is especially beneficial for those with hyperpigmentation or dull skin.

“Niacinamide is a versatile ingredient that regulates sebum production, improves skin tone and strengthens the skin barrier. Suitable for all ages and skin types.”

According to Charette, skin care products should be applied from “thinnest to thickest consistency” for best absorption.

However, it is essential that you follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions.

“A typical routine consists of cleanser, toner, essence, serum, eye cream, moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning,” he added.

REJUVENATING HABITS

Charette said a holistic approach to anti-aging is crucial to achieve the best results.

“Prioritizing factors like stress management, good sleep and a balanced diet can have a significant impact on skin health,” he says.

“In addition, consistent skin care, including sun protection, hydration and products rich in antioxidants, is essential.

“Remember that everyone’s skin is unique, so it’s important to find a routine that works best for you. Consult with an expert who can help you figure out what works for you.”

Preventing premature aging requires a combination of skin care, lifestyle and possibly professional treatments.

He said that getting beauty sleep sounds like a cliché, but it’s true, so adults should aim for seven to nine hours of sleep a night.

He discovered that lack of sleep can accelerate skin aging, causing the skin to look dull and dehydrated and causing dark circles to appear under the eyes.

“To improve the quality of your sleep, consider investing in high-quality bedding made from hypoallergenic materials,” he says.

“Sleeping on your back is often recommended to prevent facial wrinkles.

“Additionally, creating a calming sleep environment, free of electronic distractions, can significantly improve sleep quality and overall skin health.”

AMAZING TREATMENTS

According to Charette, professional aesthetic treatments can be effective when combined with home beauty routines.

“Preventing premature aging requires a combination of skin care, lifestyle and possibly professional treatments,” he said.

“Consistent use of high-quality skin care products, sun protection and a healthy lifestyle are fundamental.

“For more advanced anti-aging, in-office treatments such as microneedling, laser therapy and chemical peels can significantly improve skin texture, tone and elasticity.

“However, it is essential to consult a qualified skin care professional to determine the most appropriate approach for your individual needs.”
