Celebrities are subject to endless scrutiny ranging from their romantic relationships and clothing choices to, as we recently learned, education decisions they make on behalf of their children. Yet facial appearance\u2014and visible signs of aging in particular\u2014is perhaps the most buzzed-about attribute for male and female stars, and not a day goes by without commentary about an entertainer\u2019s appearance in a bathing suit, or speculation about whether they had something \u201cdone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Zoumalan<\/a>\u00a0happens to work and live in the epicenter of celebrity gossip, and he understands that patients everywhere want to look their best without the tell-tale signs that they\u2019ve had treatments like injectables or plastic surgery. He also knows that the public keeps a close eye on how well (or badly) celebrities are aging\u2014and he believes Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise have done great jobs at maintaining their youthful looks without obvious signs of plastic surgery (at least based on posts by @Celebface on Instagram).<\/p>\n

\"Charlize<\/p>\n

\"Tom<\/p>\n

Dr. Zoumalan says, \u201cI can\u2019t know for sure what Theron, Cruise or any other celebrities\u2019 anti-aging secrets are\u2014but I can suggest the skincare and non-surgical essentials that anyone can use to preserve a youthful appearance and delay signs of aging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunscreen<\/strong>
\n\u201cProtecting the skin from UV rays is the number-one way to prevent the damage that leads to fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and other indicators of age. Even more, a 2016 study<\/a>\u00a0found that daily sunscreen use can actually improve existing signs of aging as well,\u201d Dr. Zoumalan shares. He recommends EltaMD<\/a>\u00a0sunscreens for his patients because this brand offers a wide variety of formulations for different skin types and concerns, as well as for use after surgery.<\/p>\n

Moisturizer<\/strong>
\nSometimes you do get what you pay for, and Dr. Zoumalan stresses the importance of a high-quality moisturizer at any age. \u201cA good formulation generally offers advanced anti-aging ingredients in addition to hydration, as well as technologies that help deliver ingredients to where they need to be in order to make a difference in the skin,\u201d he explains. Sent\u00e9 Dermal Repair Cream<\/a>\u00a0is among his favorites for mature and sun-damaged skin, as its unique main ingredient, heparan sulfate analog, has been shown to improve fine lines and wrinkles along with the skin\u2019s texture and firmness.<\/p>\n

Serum<\/strong>
\nSerums usually contain higher levels of meaningful ingredients (as compared to moisturizers) tailored to specific skin concerns. \u201cThere are countless serums to choose from, but in many cases a hyaluronic acid-based serum can improve a variety of skin issues simply by giving skin the extra moisture it needs and providing an instant plumping effect,\u201d Dr. Zoumalan shares. His pick is PCA Skin\u2019s Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum<\/a>\u00a0because it delivers instant hydration while promoting the skin\u2019s natural hyaluronic acid production for long-term anti-aging results.<\/p>\n

Professional skin treatments<\/strong>
\nIn addition to at-home skincare, office-based professional treatments can take your anti-aging efforts to another level. Dr. Zoumalan says, \u201cChemical peels, microneedling and laser-based resurfacing such as Fraxel are effective ways to keep fresh, healthy cells on the skin\u2019s surface while promoting collagen production. An advantage of these procedures is that their intensity can be controlled, which means patients can opt for light, downtime-free or higher-strength treatments if their lifestyle allows for a few days of recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Botox<\/strong>
\nSome patients still worry about a \u201cfrozen\u201d appearance after Botox injections, but Dr. Zoumalan emphasizes that this should never be the case. \u201cIn the hands of a properly-trained physician, Botox is extremely effective for controlling<\/em>the appearance of wrinkles, and the goal should not be to erase them completely.\u201d Ideal for crow\u2019s feet around the eyes, horizontal lines across the brow and vertical furrows between the brows, \u201cRegular injections prevent motion-related wrinkles from becoming etched into the skin, which helps patients maintain a youthful-looking appearance longer,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Injectable fillers<\/strong>
\nAccording to Dr. Zoumalan, the key word when talking about fillers is \u201cconservative.\u201d \u201cHyaluronic acid injectables are a wonderful way to address age-related changes in the cheeks and under the eyes, but it takes experience as well as an artistic eye to achieve natural-looking results instead of a puffy, over-filled appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
