I am still a teenager but I have abused my skin in the past, sun-overexposure and 2 years of smoking. I was wondering, if my skin can repair most of the damage on it's own? I take really good care of my skin now High-end sunscreen with no more smoking.Plus regulary exfoliating and taking herbal/vitamin supplements. Does my skin have the ability to regenerate and heal on it's own, without the use of anti-aging products to keep me from premature signs of aging? My skin has no visable signs of damage. So by taking excellent care of my skin NOW and being so young, do I still have to suffer 10-15 years from now?
Answer
the body has fantastic ability to repair and heal, it's in it's nature, but if you're over 40 you should use anti aging products like serums, vit. C, E, A, and peptide moisturizer,
good moisture mask and exfoliate once a week.
Ho don't forget to get facials once a month.

The best defense you have to care for your skin and to keep it looking as young as possible as long as possible is sunscreen. (Each and every day, even in the winter!)
Of course, keeping your skin well hydrated, a good balanced diet and sufficient sleep are also important.
For beginning a skin care regimen start with a gentle cleanser, like Aveeno which has a soy base so it doesn't dry the skin. (Unless you have very oily skin most people only need to use a cleanser once a day).
Find a toner with antioxidants as active ingredients like vitamin C, spin trap or copper peptides. Then use a glycolic acid gel with a concentration of between 8% to 10%. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, (AHA) which is a chemical exfoliant and will get rid of the dead skin cells that collect on the surface of the skin. If your skin tends to be oily try a 1% to 2% beta hydroxy acid (BHA) instead. They are both also a great blemish preventor as well. Spot treat any blemishes with OTC treatments.
Next, find a moisturizer with a vitamin A (retinol) active ingredient, and last apply a sunscreen. (Anthelios is the newest one just approved by the FDA and is non-greasy, light, and absorbs well.) Since it isn't as cheap as some others, you can use it only on your face so it lasts longer.
The antioxidants will help protect your skin while helping it to heal and the glycolic acid and retinol will help prevent acne outbreaks and even out your skin tone while addressing any hyperpigmentation and other signs of aging skin.
Once or twice a week use a microdermabrasion scrub after giving yourself a facial steam for a deep pore cleansing.
At night, after toning again, use a rich nighttime emollient moisturizer. If you are interested in firming your skin, look for one with DMAE as an ingredient.
