Prevention Years
As a young adult, it’s important to
continue good habits of caring for your
skin. This is the prime age to prevent
unwanted wrinkles that you may start to
face in the next five to 10 years. Now is
the time to take charge by:
• Wearing eye cream. We have seen
the commercials about preventing
wrinkles. But when do you have to
start? NOW! The skin around your
eyes is very thin and just a short
amount of sunlight could cause
lasting wrinkles.
• Applying SPF products to face,
neck, and hands. Skipping the
protection of an SPF could throw
off your entire routine. Find a good
moisturizer that combines protection
with moisture and apply it to your face,
neck, and hands. The neck and hands
are often overlooked, but prime spots
for the sun to hit and cause wrinkles.
• Quitting bad habits. Now is a better
time than ever to kick the bad habits
you formed in high school and college.
The number of benefits to canceling
your package at the tanning salon
and quitting smoking would take up
this entire article, but for skin’s sake,
give them up!
Treatment Years
Now is the time to treat the years of
damage that the sun and other elements
have caused to your skin.
• Put the right nutrients into your
body. It’s important to make sure your

body is getting all the nutrients it needs
on the inside for radiant skin on the
outside. This includes lots of water!
• Take cover when heading outside.
SPF products shouldn’t be skipped at
this age either and should be applied
daily. Try adding a hat and cover your
skin to prevent overexposure to the
harmful rays of the sun, even in the
cooler months.
• Find a good retinoid. Derived from
vitamin A, retinoids boost collagen
production in the skin to stimulate
blood vessels and unclog pores.
SEEING INTO THE FUTURE
Twenty-first century children will be
looking beyond genetics as a cause for
needing corrective eyewear, according to
the American Optometric Association
(AOA). In the Digital Age, children
are exposed to electronic devices their
whole lives as an integral part of social
and educational practices. Teachers are
continuing to increase the amount of
digital technology used in the classroom,
and it is expected that computer
simulations will account for much of the
learning style in the future. Both teachers
and parents are finding that children are
adapting well to the use of technology
in the classroom, making learning
more interactive and current than most
textbook learning.
The AOA’s 2015 American Eye-Q
survey stated that 41 percent of parents
