Everyone really needs and should use skin care items, if they want to prevent skin care problems, instead of trying to correct them. I'm an esthetician so I know that the average woman uses a moisturizer, but most don't understand why they need twice weekly exfoliating. Although twice daily moisturizing is great at working under the skins' surface to help retain it's health, exfoliators work on the top side of the skin and give immediate results.
In your Teens and Twenties, most young women don't see serious signs of aging unless they have been extreme sun worshippers. What you will see is the accumulation of dead skin cells, which equals skin texture that looks uneven and a loss of your healthy, natural, youthful radiance. You'll need to be sure that sun screens are in all your products. If you spend 3 minutes, on your face - twice daily - in 21 days you'll have established a skin care routine and you'll never regret it.
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.
When you're Forty-ish, you'll experience a reduction of collagen and elastin in your skins cells; which holds the moisture that helps to keep skin firm. The lack of firmness results in a deepening of the fine lines you saw in your thirties and they'll become wrinkles. To help combat that effect, you should include anti-aging or lifting and firming treatments (collagen and elastin) to your twice daily moisturizer.
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.
The above descriptions are what each age group can expect, without the use of skin care products. This information should help with using what you need, when it's needed for your age group and skin type. Ultimately, using your full twice a day, skin care regimen will pay off with your skin always looking firmer and younger than you actually are. - 15634
