Our skin evolves with age. A 22 year-old will have a different skin regimen than a 62 year old. Should you be worrying about acne or wrinkles? What can you do at your age to benefit your skin later?
20’s & 30’s
Fighting acne is the main concern, especially in your 20’s. Water-based, oil-free wash is usually successful. Keep your skin free of dirt and oil by removing makeup and washing your face daily.
Signs of aging begin to develop in your 30’s. Start using anti-aging lotions as soon as possible. Fine lines and uneven skin tone can be helped with a repairing moisturizer.
40’s & 50’s
The skin may begin losing some of its texture in your 40’s. Wrinkles and age spots may begin appearing. Products with peptide in them even out pigment and increase collagen growth.
An estrogen drop in your 50’s may make dry out your skin and decrease its elasticity. Combat this symptom of hormonal changes with glycolic acid, which helps increase skin cell production and turnover.
60+
Expand your skin care regimen to include all skin aspects. Apply SPF every day to keep the sun from advancing sun aging. Use cleansers that won’t dry out your skin and products with hydroquinone to help eliminate dark spots on the face hands.
