Regularization of Zygmund functions

Dear community.

I would like to derive a "good" estimate on $\frac{d}{dt}f_\epsilon(t)$, where $f_\epsilon$ is a regularization of a Zygmund-continuous function $f$. The regularization is defined as usual. We use an even function $\rho \in C_0^\infty(\mathbb R)$ with $\int_{\mathbb R} \rho(\tau)d\tau = 1$, set $\rho_\epsilon(t) := \frac{1}{\epsilon}\rho\left( \frac{t-s}{\epsilon} \right)$ and define $f_\epsilon$ by convolution as $f_\epsilon(t) := (f \ast_{s}\rho)(t)$.

If one uses the implication Zygmund $\Rightarrow$ LogLipschitz, the one easily obtains the estimate $|\frac{d}{dt}f_\epsilon(t)| \leq C \log\left( 1+\frac{1}{\epsilon} \right)$.

I would like to have a better estimate than this. This means I would like to use the fact, that $f$ is Zygmund, not just LogLipschitz. The obvious ideas don't work, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe one should use a special mollifier?! Does anyone have some experience in this direction? Or can one point to literature?

It would be nice to get something like $|\frac{d}{dt}f_\epsilon(t)| \leq C \left(\log\left( 1+\frac{1}{\epsilon} \right)\right)^{1/2}$

Thanks!
