Anyone who wants great looking skin needs it, because prevention works so much better than correction. As an esthetician, I find that most women realize the importance of daily moisturizing, but most do not consistently exfoliate and use facial masks. These give you the visual benefit while moisturizing gives you the beneath the surface benefit. .
It's true that when you're in your TEENS AND TWENTIES, unless you're an extreme sun worshipper most people don't see serious signs of aging. However, your skin will begin to accumulate dead skin cells which will produce an uneven skin texture and you'll begin to lose that natural, youthful, healthy radiance. Try to spend 3 minutes - twice daily on your skin; it only takes 21 days to establish a routine, and you'll never be sorry.
When you're Thirty-something, you'll begin to see fine lines around your mouth and eyes in addition to having tired, dull looking skin. For those with oily skin, your pores will enlarge, those with normal or dry skin will experience patches of flakiness. You'll need to look for an anti-oxidant in your sun screen and/or moisturizer.
When you're Forty-ish, you'll experience a reduction of collagen and elastin in your skins cells; which holds the moisture that helps to keep skin firm. The lack of firmness results in a deepening of the fine lines you saw in your thirties and they'll become wrinkles. To help combat that effect, you should include anti-aging or lifting and firming treatments (collagen and elastin) to your twice daily moisturizer.
Every type of skin can depend on becoming dryer when you get to your Fifties, particularly when exposed to extreme climates. Dry skin is due to a loss of moisture and that loss translates to relaxed skin along the jawline and neck area, and those wrinkles become creases. That's why you'll need to add more hydration and vitamins to your list of anti-aging, lifting and firming ingredients in your hydrating products.
When you reach your Sixties or better, your skin will exhibit extreme loss of firmness as well as the appearance of those sun spots on your hands, face and neck. The skin that was relaxed in your fifties is now sagging skin. The creases above your nose, in your forehead and laugh lines will become furrows and spot dissolvers will need to be added to the strongest possible lifting and firming ingredients in you skin care routine.
The above descriptions are what each age group can expect, without the use of skin care products. This information should help with using what you need, when it's needed for your age group and skin type. Ultimately, using your full twice a day, skin care regimen will pay off with your skin always looking firmer and younger than you actually are. - 15266
