Skin is the largest organ on the human body and we should protect it from the harmful effects that occur due to the environment. If not taken proper care of, the skin starts to age well before time and makes you look years older!
Here’s a brief way to skin care according to age:
Moisturizing sets the way to healthy skin. Skin starts to lose its ability to retain moisture as your go into your late twenties. Use a good moisturizer with anti oxidants which fight the harmful radicals of the sun and smoke and pollutants of the environment.
Your daily diet should be a mix of healthy fruits and vegetables that contain the perfect amount of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E and C which are best for healthy skin. Avoid carbonated drinks and processed food as it contains many artificial additives that contain a high amount of fat and are also harmful to the skin.
Proper eye care is also necessary as the skin around the eyes is the most sensitive. You should not rub the eyes because it might leave permanent marks. Wrinkles around the eyes are known as “crows feet”. You should start to use an eye cream marked for “the first signs of aging”.
Exfoliating helps remove the dead cells in order to make your skin brighter. Use creams that contain Beta Hydroxy acids which promote the renewal of skin cells. Papaya scrubs are also best for girls in their twenties.
In the 30s the skin changes into a drier and thicker texture and the pigmentation may start to become uneven. Along with wrinkles, you’ll have to fight dryness and creasing around the area known as “crows feet”. You should aim to fight existing lines and the new ones from forming, and to preserve the skin’s elasticity and prevent aging spots. You can try different aging creams available in the cream and select the one that suits your skin type. Products that boost collagen boosting are good for even toned complexion and also prevent brown spots.
Introduce a daily dose of vitamin C into your diet because it fights against collagen synthesis which declines with aging. Some celebrities like Halle Berry, have sworn by rubbing Vitamin C capsules on the skin to maintain a radiant complexion.
Sun protection is very important, and you should not forget to use a good sun block with a high SPF, and also wear sunglasses whenever you’re out in the sun as squinting can make the winkles worse.
It is necessary to keep your body hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. Dermabrasion is a good procedure which removes dead skin and promotes the growth of newer ones. You can consult your dermatologist for this.
Your night time skin care regime must include a retinoid which decreases brown spots and increases collagen production. If your skin can not handle a retinoid every night then use it on alternate nights.
Chemical peels contain glycolic acid which proves good at brightening the skin’s complexion. Make sure the moisturizers you use at this age don not contain heavy oils that clog pores. Look for products that contain Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera, Green Tea and Vitamin E. the wrong products will make your skin uneven and may increase the chances of an allergic reaction.
It is also highly important to have at least an eight hour sleep that will give your tired body relaxation and will result in a healthy looking complexion.
You should remember that aging is a natural process and it is always better to accept it and age gracefully. With the proper kind of skin care regime, one can stay looking healthy and beautiful forever.
