How To Care For Your Skin As You Age

20’s –
Most can enjoy a clear, supple and line-free face and not have to worry about how badly you treat your skin, unless you are a sun worshipper. If you worship the sun, or covet the tanning booths…you will need to get on board with a strict regimen earlier than your 30’s-includind an SPF moisturizer. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day will help to prevent, or slow down, age spots and fine lines caused by over-exposure to sun or ultraviolet light. This is particularly important for guys between the ages 25 – 30 when your body slows the production of proteins that help your skin bounce back from the stresses of life!
While in your 20’s, you can skimp on your daily regimen; but, at the minimum, follow Step 1»Step 2»Step 4 from our recommend daily regimen. Basically, use a cleanser twice a day and a moisturizer with sunscreen. If you have oily skin, use a toner after cleansing and skip moisturizing; although, you should use a light oil free spray-on sunscreen.
30’s –
Depending on how well you treated your skin in your 20’s, the signs of aging can catch up with you. Your bodies natural ageing process kicks in to gear with a reduction of your body producing proteins (collagen and elastin) that help your skin snap back. The process of shedding dead skin cells, called ‘sloughing’, from the surface of your skin begins slowing down at this stage. The first area to show signs of aging is around the eyes, because the skin is the thinnest.
Beginning in your 30’s, we suggest you complete all steps of our daily regimen on a regular basis.
40’s –
How you have cared for your skin in the past will be reflected on how young you look in your 40’s. Even the healthiest skin will show the signs of Time; and, by the late forties, it’s time to get serious! What you have to look forward to is: deeper wrinkles, more prevalent marks from sun damage-such as brownish age marks and broken capillaries-relaxed skin on cheeks, lips, eyelids, and jaw as well as around the eyes. It’s easy to understand the importance of adhering to a strict daily regimen, including the alternative steps for anti-aging.
