Have you suddenly recognized a difference in your skin?
Most women’s skin changes as they get older, especially after they hit 40. Laugh lines, “elevens” between your eyes, those little creases on either side of your mouth–we all have them. Most women find their skin becomes less elastic and thins with age, which can lead to sagging. Before you panic, invest in a good skin care regimen, aimed at improving mature skin.
Wash morning and evening, but be careful not to use harsh products, using gentle cleansers like Cetaphil. Many mature women develop adult-onset acne, but you’ll want to avoid the acne creams and washes sold to teens (such as Proactive). Instead go for a gentler system, such as Dermalogica, which is all-natural and is better tolerated by more mature skin. After cleansing, use a moisturizer that has at least 30 SPF, and let it soak in, and then reapply just before going outside.
Don’t tan at all, ever. Even when on a special trip to a hot beach. Be the palest person on the beach; you’ll also be the person with the fewest wrinkles when you return to that beach in ten years. You’re wise if you always wear your sun hat, hide under a beach umbrella, and follow the shade.
If you see sun damage or scarring on your face, try using Dermalogica’s Multi Vitamin Power capsules to repair some of the damage. When you crack open the little capsule, you’ll discover a wonderful mixture of vitamins C, A, and E, which feels amazing on your face. Most women feel a difference in their skin immediately, and with regular use, see firming and repair results.
If you’re concerned about laugh lines, try iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex, which will plump up skin and reduce fine lines. With these good products, a little goes a long way, so use sparingly and say hello to lovely skin!
