Top Benefits of Retinol for Youthful Skin

Let’s face it.

We all notice the signs of aging at one point or another.

If only there was something conveniently available on the market today that anyone could buy to effectively reverse the signs of aging…

Oh wait! There is!

It’s called retinol and if you haven’t come across this wonderful vitamin A derivative before then don’t worry.

In this blog post I will share with you some of the top benefits to using a retinol serum and why you absolutely need to start using one now if you aren’t already.

Let’s get started with benefit #1: It clears up your acne!

That’s right you read that correctly.

Using retinol is an effective method for clearing up acne and keeping your skin smooth as silk.

For those of us that have had acne at one point or another in our lives:

We know all too well the terrible experience of trying to cover up and even avoid others because of our acne.

How many times have you tried to avoid talking to your friends only because we don’t want others to see us with zits or pimples all across our forehead or face?

Acne completely destroys our self-confidence and even causes some of us to become anti-social.

Your friends will wonder why they haven’t seen you in a while and it’ll all be because of the destructive effects acne has had on your self-esteem.

I mean come on:

Who wants to carry around a bunch of pimples on their face while they talk to their friends and family?

No one does that’s who!

Here’s the kicker:

The way acne comes about is due to the presence of clogged pores.

You may be wondering okay but what’s clogging those pores in the first place?

The answer is a lot of pus.

Yes, it’s actually as nasty as it sounds (your pores are jam-packed full of pus when you have acne on your face).

The pus is actually a combination of several factors which include sebum, dead skin cells, dead immune cells, and dead bacteria.

That is about as filthy an image as you want me to describe.

It’s not a recipe you would cook in your kitchen, for sure.

Now, in case you haven’t caught on yet, that pus inside your pores contains stuff that died a long time ago and should not be there any longer!

So, trust me when I say it’s actually helpful if you remove it.

Now, hold on!

I am not suggesting you go out and start popping your pimples.

That’s a recipe for scars just waiting to form.

Instead:

What you can do is to start using a much gentler dual-method approach.

By dual-method approach I mean using a retinol serum in conjunction with exfoliating your skin twice per week.

Doing so allows your skin to gently rid itself of acne without the need to worry about scars forming.

Using a retinol serum every night will unclog your pores by preventing dead skin cells from clogging them in the first place!

This is crucial in fighting off acne and keeping it in check.

In addition:

Exfoliating your dead skin cells twice per week will aid your skin in two ways.

Number 1, it will help it get rid of the dead skin cells at the surface of your skin.

Number 2, it will help the younger skin cells underneath to make their way to the surface.

In no time at all:

You’ll notice your complexion and skin clear up and drastically improve.

You won’t be afraid of talking to your friends or family any longer now that acne isn’t holding you back.

You might even get a compliment or two on how incredibly clear and radiant your skin actually looks!

Speaking of brighter more radiant skin, here’s another great benefit to using retinol: It will help clear up and fade your dark under eye circles!

Here’s the deal:

Using a retinol serum every night is a great way to combat the effects of dark circles underneath your eyes

Dark circles under your eyes will destroy your confidence and self-esteem.

They ruin your otherwise noble complexion and make you look tired.

Even worse:

You’ll constantly be bombarded on how tired you look and why you didn’t sleep well last night.

If this sounds like something that you frequently hear then listen up!

Using a retinol serum every night to fade away your dark circles underneath your eyes is a great option.

In case you weren’t aware:

The skin surrounding your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate skin of anywhere on your body.

Using a retinol serum will cause this thin delicate skin to thicken over time!

Thicker skin means skin that better reflects light.

That means that your dark circles underneath your eyes won’t seem as dark as they used to.

Even better:

The thicker and less transparent the skin underneath your eyes is, the less visible your veins and blood beneath your eyes will be.

Slowly, your dark circles will begin to fade away and eventually you might even stop noticing them all together!

Your confidence and self-esteem will boost even higher.

You won’t look tired any more and your image will also improve.

You’ll finally stop hearing comments on how tired you look and instead receive compliments on how great you look.

Just remember:

You must continue the habit of applying retinol serum on a daily basis.

The idea is to apply the retinol serum every night to the skin around your eyes.

There will be an initial thinning period in which your skin adjusts to the retinol but over time your skin will adapt.

As it adapts, it will grow in tolerance to the retinol and eventually start to thicken.

As it thickens, so too will your personality and overall confidence in your image and self.

Here’s another great benefit to add to the list of things retinol can do: your crow’s feet will fade away!

You know what I’m talking about.

Every time you smile, the skin near the ends of your eyes forms a clenched claw like appearance (hence the name).

It makes you look much older than you should.

Even worse:

It might even make you scared to smile so that people don’t notice the wrinkles around your eyes.

That’s not good!

Here’s the deal:

Crow’s feet come about as a result of not caring for your skin properly.

One of the main culprits for crow’s feet is the sun.

That’s right, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays cause those pesky wrinkles to form near the ends of your eyes and even around your mouth (frown lines).

The sun’s UV rays are responsible for so much of what causes our skin to age prematurely.

If you’re not already please start using sunscreen daily first thing in the morning.

It doesn’t matter if there’s sunshine outside or clouds; you must get into the habit of applying sunscreen daily onto your face and neck.

Doing so will help to prevent any further damage to your skin such as wrinkles and fine lines.

So now that we have gotten to this point what can we do about it if anything?

Thankfully, a lot!

Using a retinol serum will help to fight and fade off those pesky wrinkles near your eyes and mouth.

Your crow’s feet and frown lines will fade and die out with continued regular use of retinol serum.

The key here to remember is “with regular use.”

There’s no magic pill that you can take overnight to completely restore your skin’s youthful appearance.

Thankfully:

Using a retinol serum every night will definitely drastically improve the texture and tone of your skin over time.

Even better:

The results you’ll likely experience will continue to improve over time with regular use.

The fact that such a product even exists on the market today is truly astonishing.

In case you were not aware:

The use of retinol for skin care has only been on the market for less than a 100 years!

That likely means that your grandparents did not have access to this wonderful skin care ingredient.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Use a retinol serum every night and notice how drastically your skin’s overall appearance and youth revitalizes.

In less time than you think:

You’ll be receiving far more compliments than you ever have on how great your skin looks!

Best of all:

Your friends won’t believe it when you tell them that all it took was using a retinol serum every night that anyone can purchase.
