Maintaining clear, healthy skin is why you should bother and because prevention is easier than correction. Working as an esthetician, I know that most womrn understand the need for twice daily moisturizers, but many still don't realize the importance of using exfoliators and facial masks. Moisturizing provides under the skin benefits while twice weekly exfoliating gives you immediate topical results.
In your Teens and Twenties, you probably won't see any real signs of aging unless you've spent many long days in the sun. You can expect to see patches of dull or dead facial skin cells which result in a loss of your youthful, natural radiance due to uneven texture. At this age you'll need to be sure to use a sun screen.
In your Thirties in addition to the dull, tired looking skin, the skin around your eyes and mouth will begin to show those dreaded fine lines or if your skin is oily, you'll get enlarged pores. Oily skin will need 100% oil free moisturizers with pore minimizers, while dry skin needs creams with extra hydration and combination skin will need lotions with anti-oxidants to keep your neck and face healthy and youthful looking. Everyone should also be using a twice daily eye cream for dry or combination skin and an eye gel for oily skin.
By the time you've reached your FORTIES, your neck and facial skin cells lose their strength because the collagen and elastin in your skin lessens, and your skin is unable to hold the moisture that helps keep it firm. Because of that lack of firmness, the tiny lines you saw in your thirties, deepen and become wrinkles; this is the age when you'll begin to add anti-aging treatments to your routine. Your moisturizers should also contain anti-aging (elastin and collagen) and firming ingredients.
Every type of skin can depend on becoming dryer when you get to your Fifties, particularly when exposed to extreme climates. Dry skin is due to a loss of moisture and that loss translates to relaxed skin along the jawline and neck area, and those wrinkles become creases. That's why you'll need to add more hydration and vitamins to your list of anti-aging, lifting and firming ingredients in your hydrating products.
When you reach your Sixties or better, your skin will exhibit extreme loss of firmness as well as the appearance of those sun spots on your hands, face and neck. The skin that was relaxed in your fifties is now sagging skin. The creases above your nose, in your forehead and laugh lines will become furrows and spot dissolvers will need to be added to the strongest possible lifting and firming ingredients in you skin care routine.
This information was written to make you aware of what to expect if you get to a particular age without the use of skin care. If you do consistently use a twice daily skin care routine for your age and skin type, you'll always look years younger than other women your age. - 15359
