Skin Care ABC

Anti aging skin care

This is something that is never to soon to do. Even if you are still young just imagine yourself looking at the mirror twenty years from now... You don't want to be disappointed then, believe me, you will have lots of other things to worry about and this will be another addition to the overall aging stress.

Skin aging is something that cannot be reversed, off course the results can be concealed, but then you don't want to lock yourself in a washroom early every morning so nobody can see you without make-up. Every step in a skin care that you perform every day can benefit your skin adding to anti aging skin care effect or harm it doing totally the opposite. Make sure you are doing the right steps right from the moment you touched skin care products for the first time.

There are certain rules that are proved to be a must for anti aging skin care at any age.
First of all forget about tanned face and keep your face away from direct sunlight at all times. On the young face effect is not as obvious as on the mid-aged but it will show up sooner or later, so don't take chances.
If you are at the age when most people get acne - watch carefully which products to use against them. I myself did lot's of damage while young trying to fight acne and now suffering with extremely dry and sensitive skin.

When young, not too much intervention is required, simple everyday routine to cleanse and moisturize and obeying the general "good skin" rules should be enough. Important thing is to choose the products designed for your skin type.
Around 30 - first signs of skin aging will appear. At this point you should be on guards - maybe its time to start anti aging skin care. Now you want a little bit more from the products then just cleanse and moisturize. Go through the beauty counters in your department store, there should be that one consultant with interested look in her eyes that cares, talk to her, explain your skin care habits, your concerns and ask for advice. It's good when they have samples, so you could try stuff without spending fortune right away. But even if there are no samples - reputable cosmetic manufacturers allow you to return products if they don't suite your skin type.

With early signs of aging you will notice that in the morning your skin is not as fresh as before and starts to show the sleep lines and expression lines and the entire complexion becomes kind of dull. All these signs are still conceivable with light makeup application, but it should give you an idea to start researching anti aging skin care products for early signs of aging. Remember, there is no such one perfect solution that will be good for everyone and what's working for your friend might not work for you. At this point of time look for moisturizing products that offer overnight recovery or re-vitalizing option added.

After 35 you might experience pretty moderate signs of aging. Cells renewal is slower then before and you might add to your usual moisturizers some products that contain elements that will speed up the skin renewal, use heavier nourishing creams for the night and make sure to use day creams with UV protection. Lifting and firming lines might be good for this time too. I am after 35 now and really love the Resilience Lift Extreme line from Estee Lauder. Dry and sensitive skin combination makes it really hard to find something that has real anti aging skin care effect and doesn't cause rush and redness on my skin.

After 45 we'll be looking at advanced signs of aging. Now there is no time for moisturizing. What skin really needs - visible wrinkle reducers. Please understand that all the wrinkle smoothing creams will work until you use them. It's not like they are doing miracles reversing skin aging, what most of them does - just fills up your tiny lines, so your skin looks and fills smooth and pampered.
