subject: Establishing An Anti Aging Skin Care Routine Early On Will Keep You Young [print this page] You may have thought that 40 was the new 30, but according to doctors anyone over 35 is still thought to be "of advanced age." What makes matters worse is that this "old-age" classification also applies to your skin, but, don't despair, there are things you can do to help you deal with the aging process.
First, you need to re-train your brain to understand that effective skin care is started early on in life. For as obvious as it may sound, skin is always aging. So, formulating a good skin care routine is vital to keep your skin youthful and as wrinkle-free as possible.
As an adolescent you should acquire the habit of daily cleansing. Washing your face with the appropriate products twice a day and following up with toner and moisturizer is a basic skin care routine that will do your skin well. As you age, you can start adding different products to minimize the effects of time.
If you laugh, frown or have an expressive face, you may notice face and eye wrinkles even when your peers still have smooth skin. If this is the case, then it's advisable that you begin using anti wrinkle treatments as early as your mid and late twenties, especially considering the fact that your skin is still in good condition and this can help postpone the use of more intense anti-aging products.
In your thirties, you should start exfoliating more frequently to help increase cell turnover. Try exfoliating twice a week (more if you have oily skin) to get the best results. You might even start thinking about a good wrinkle cream that you can use all over your face.
The older you get, the more gentle the products should be. There are many products on the market that are especially geared towards more mature skin.
Anti wrinkle creams are an important part of your aging skin care routine. The best wrinkle cream should include ingredients such as retinol and hyaluronic acid along with soothing ingredients such as licorice extract that can help alleviate inflammation in older skin.
Apply your wrinkle cream during the nighttime. Certain ingredients in these products will be deactivated by sunlight. During the daytime you should use a moisturizer that contains some sort of sun protection to help minimize possible sun damage.
By eliminating negative influences such as bad habits, you can actually help contribute to healthy looking skin.
Smoking and sun bathing are both bad habit that should be avoided. You must understand that a tanning is nothing more than voluntary sun damage while smoking leads to thinner and more vulnerable skin.
Forming a regular aging skin care routine early on can help you maintain your skin looking healthy and young.
