Interview with Skin Expert: How to Prevent Early Skin Aging?

Did you know that your skin can already start showing signs of aging around the age of 25? Luckily, there is a lot you can do to slow down this process! In this interview, I – as a skin expert – share my best tips and personal experiences on how to prevent early skin aging.

Can you introduce yourself briefly?

"I am Marisa Dost, a certified Medical Beauty Specialist in Dermatology® and specialized in skin improvement. In my practice, I help people keep their skin healthy, glowing, and in good condition. My passion is to prevent and treat skin problems and to support the natural beauty of the skin."

What do we mean by ‘early skin aging’?

"Early skin aging means that the skin shows signs of aging faster than normal, like fine lines, dark spots, sagging, and dullness. It is often caused by outside factors like sun damage, pollution, smoking, or wrong skincare."

What are the main causes?

"Sunlight is by far the biggest cause of early skin aging. Too much UV radiation breaks down collagen and causes oxidative stress in the skin. Stress, lack of sleep, an unhealthy lifestyle, and not enough protection against harmful influences can also make the skin age faster."

What tips do you always give to prevent skin aging?

"My tips to prevent early skin aging are:

• Use a face cream with SPF every day in spring and summer to protect your skin well against sun damage.

• Hydrate your skin daily, both from the inside (drink mineral water) and from the outside (use serums and creams).

• Clean your skin carefully but gently, with a soft, pH-neutral cleanser.

• Add antioxidants like a vitamin C serum to your routine.

• Massage your skin weekly to boost blood flow and metabolism. At-home LED therapy is also great!

• Give your body and skin enough rest, because during sleep your skin repairs and renews itself."

  
  

What makes your approach in the practice unique?

"I look deeper than just the outside. By analyzing the skin well, I give personal advice and work with strong, proven products and treatments that really make a difference. My approach is personal, because every skin is unique. I believe in honest skin improvement, step by step and with realistic expectations."

Do you have a personal tip that you use every day?

"I always apply my day cream with SPF all the way to my chest and on my hands – these areas are often forgotten, but they age just as fast! Also, I find good sleep very important. I put my phone on silent and airplane mode at night so I won’t be disturbed."

Finally, what message would you like to share about skincare?

"See skincare as a valuable investment in yourself. It’s not about perfection, but about caring lovingly for your skin, inside and out. Start today – your future self will be thankful when you look in the mirror."
