Skincare for All Ages
Sophia Loren. Sharon Stone. Christie Brinkley. All of us age at different rates. However, all women face similar challenges at similar ages. Check out the best strategies for combating these challenges below.
20s and 30s
Water, water everywhere. Beginning in your late
20s, the skin can begin to lose hydration. Make sure to drink enough
water, and begin to routinely apply good moisturizer that will absorb
into your skin thoroughly. If your skin is particularly dry, go for a
more luxurious moisturizer, especially during the winter months, such
as Relastin Ultra Emollient. If your skin is oily stick with a light
moisturizer like Relastin Skin Revitalizer. It also doesn't hurt that
Relastin will help you replace the elastin you've been losing since
your teens, before the effects start to show.
Protecting your skin from sun damage now will prevent premature aging and should be your top priority. Apply sunscreen every day. This might also help protect it from environmental damage caused by various pollution sources. If you apply foundation, pick one that has an SPF of 15 or above, or invest in a light sunscreen you can apply over your Relastin product.
40s and 50s and beyond
There are two ways you can combat the
signs of aging during these decades. If you're seeing uneven skin tone,
age spots, or discolorations, think about exfoliating once or twice a
week. A light alpha hydroxy cream or a gentle scrub might help to get
rid of surface discolorations. If these options don't work, consider
asking your dermatologist about stronger exfoliants, such as chemical
peels or microdermabrasion.
Wrinkles are trickier. They are caused, in part, by reduced elastin in the middle, or dermal, layer of your skin. Relastin products can help to increase the elastin in your skin, which will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help your skin spring back.
Finally, the best way to combat aging? Have fun! Enjoying your life is the best way to stay young.
