The Top Ten Topical Skin Treatments To Use After A Light Therapy Session
1. Topical Vitamin C- Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent cancer, promotes collagen production, treats scars, and provides anti-aging benefits.
2. Topical Vitamin D- Vitamin D from the sun comes with harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
3. Topical Vitamin E- Vitamin E signals your skin to fight free radicals, pollutants, and UV rays that damage your skin. It is a great source of hydration and anti-aging.
4. Topical Vitamin K- Vitamin K is especially effective for healing scars and wounds [4], reducing swelling, and decreasing the incidence of bruising [5].
5. Collagen- Collagen creams are a good means of collagen maintenance.
6. Retinol- Retinol is derived from Vitamin A. It is well-known as an effective acne treatment and for reducing wrinkles and sun damage. One downside is that some retinol products can be harsh on the skin.
7. Tea Tree Oil- Tea tree oil is a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent rich in antioxidants. It is a non-irritating acne treatment, has skin cancer prevention capabilities, and can also relieve the painful itch of eczema and other skin conditions.
8. Omega Fatty Acids- When applied topically, omega fatty acids can help maintain smooth skin, increase hydration, and strengthen skin against environmental damage.
9. Aloe Vera- Natural aloe vera gel from the aloe cactus plant contains vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. Aloe relieves burns (including sunburn), treats cold sores, reduces inflammation, and soothes the effects of eczema and rashes.
10. Sunscreen- Never underestimate the importance of sunscreen. Protecting yourself from harmful UV rays is the ultimate proactive, preventative anti-aging method.
