Top 3 things to improve age of skin

To improve the age of your skin, Andrew Huberman offers several key strategies:

1. Reduce Nicotine and Stress:

   • Avoid nicotine in all forms (smoking, vaping, dipping) as it increases inflammation and reduces blood flow, negatively impacting skin health.
   • Manage stress by employing techniques like the physiological sigh and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) to reduce cortisol and improve overall skin appearance. Quality sleep is also vital 1.

2. Red Light Therapy:

   • Use red light or near-infrared light exposure for about 10-15 minutes per day, five days per week, to enhance skin appearance. While results are moderate, they can be significant over time. Combining red light therapy with other treatments may offer synergistic effects 2 3.

3. Retinoids and Collagen Supplementation:

   • Dermatologist-supervised retinoids, such as Retin A, improve collagen composition and skin elasticity but may increase sensitivity to light, requiring careful dosage and frequency management.
   • Consuming hydrolyzed collagen protein in combination with vitamin C consistently can also support skin youthfulness from the inside out 4 5.

By integrating these steps into your skincare routine, you can enhance both the health and appearance of your skin.
