Beauty At Every Age

20s
The hormonal teen years are behind you, and oil glands, which provide skin with moisture and plumpness, are at peak production. Skin cells contain strong collagen and elastin bonds, giving both firmness and resilience.

20-something tips

  • Start good habits early by hydrating your skin daily with a moisturizer containing SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15.
  • Washing your face, particularly with hot water, strips it of its natural oils. Be sure to use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser instead of soap, and follow up with a light moisturizer.
  • They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing. Apply night cream before tucking in, and wake up to a beautifully moisturized complexion.
30s
In our 30s, oil production decreases and fine lines and "crow's feet" may begin to appear. Collagen and elastin start to break down and broken veins may show up as tiny red dots.

30-something tips
  • Your skin may begin to feel drier so be sure to use a gentle cleanser instead of soap, followed by nutrient-rich moisturizer.
  • Hydrate your skin by applying a nutrient-rich night cream before going to bed.
  • Add a rich eye cream to your regimen to help reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.
40s
Changes in your skin may be more noticeable now. It will become visibly drier and begin to lose some of its tone and elasticity.

40-something tips
  • Even if you've had oily skin in the past, now is the time to add an oil-free moisturizer.
  • When you are outdoors, be sure to wear hats to shade your face.
  • Invest in facials to help with hydration and exfoliating.
50s
In your 50s, skin starts to show its "character." As you enter menopause, your skin may feel thinner and more fragile. You may notice more wrinkles and a paler overall skin tone.

50-something tips
  • Hydration has never been more important. Use a rich, protective moisturizer.
  • Always use gentle, moisturizing cleansers instead of soap, and rinse with cool water.
  • Gently exfoliate to clear away dead skin cells.
