As we get older, our skin will start to show our advancing age. These changes can start as early as your 20s, when the collagen in skin will begin to break down and your face will seem thinner, especially in the cheek area. This will continue throughout your 30s, when you may also start to see conditions like
rosacea spring up, along with fine lines and wrinkles. As women get into their 40s and beyond, hormone changes can bring concerns like a loss of elasticity as well as dark spots, and more wrinkles.
While you might think that these skin issues call for an expensive trip to the spa or dermatologist, it turns out that there are a number of luxurious anti-aging regimens that women can do right from the privacy of their own homes. Here's what they are:
Invest in High Quality Beauty Products
When it comes to beauty products, the phrase “you get what you paid for” is often true. While budget brands might seem friendlier to your pocketbook, they may not work as well as high quality anti-aging products that may cost a bit more, but are worth every penny. Your skin deserves the best, and a great place to start is with a great product. For example, Amway's Artistry Youth Xtend Serum Concentrate is made with precious and rare ingredients that are designed to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin radiance. The company's Artistry Hydra-V Vital Skin Serum Concentrate is also designed to revitalize the skin, boosting the hydration by a whopping 184 percent, according to
Amway data. These luxurious products can easily be incorporated into your at-home skincare routine and they can really make a difference in the appearance of your skin.
Skip the Washcloth and Go for a Cleansing Tool
You may have been washing your face with either your hands or a washcloth for decades, but in order to up the cleansing ante a bit, consider purchasing a cleansing tool that will do the work for you. Look for a battery-powered cleansing brush; these tools can remove up to seven times more makeup and dirt than using your hands. As a bonus, once you have cleansed your skin with the brush, any anti-aging products you apply afterward will absorb even better. A common brand is the
Clarisonic, which you can purchase online or at a number of brick and mortar stores.
Don’t Forget Sunscreen
The sun can really age your skin; even if you have not been out tanning since you were a teen, sun damage can sneak up on us and show itself as we get older. In order to prevent further issues, it is wise to apply sunscreen on a daily basis. Look for a fabric foundation that offers full liquid coverage with SPF 25 built right in.
Aging is Inevitable, but Skin Issues Don't Have to Be
While we cannot stop the hands of time from marching on, we can take tangible steps to halt and even reverse the impact of age on our skin. By buying the best possible beauty products and cleansing tools as possible and using a foundation/sunscreen combo on a daily basis, we can rest assured we are doing whatever it takes to help our skin look amazing, at any age.
