Skin Care Tips for Every Age

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.

LimeLight Photo Facial

Through the advancement of technology, we can now utilize lasers for cosmetic purposes like eye surgery or skin rejuvenation. Lasers near your eyes or face may sound questionable, but the procedures provide long-term benefits. At our MediSpa, we offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive laser treatment that improves the appearance of your skin called LimeLight Photo Facial.

This procedure uses an intense pulsed light device that penetrates the surface layers of skin to target the cells that need to be treated, without harming the outermost cells. The sensation you feel during the procedure is similar to a rubber band lightly tapping against your skin. LimeLight Photo Facials help improve:

  • Redness and Rosacea
  • Brown Spots and Sun Damage
  • Uneven Skin Tone
  • The Appearance of Enlarged Pores
  • The Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles

After the treatment, you might feel like you have a mild sunburn. This typically passes within the next few hours but could last 1-2 days, depending on your skin. Aloe Vera and cool compresses help reduce any swelling or redness you may experience after treatment. Light-based treatments are among the safest skin procedures because they target only the cells that need to be treated. Call one of our certified physicians and we’ll examine your skin and make sure a Photo Facial is the best method for you for skin rejuvenation.
