10 Apr CBeauty Q&A: How Do I Keep My Skin Looking Young?
Question
How do you keep your skin looking so young? I’m also in my 40′s. I’m dealing with fine lines, blotchiness and dry skin. What can i do to make it better?
Skincare Regimen for Looking Young
Answer: As a woman ages our skin goes through major changes. In our defense, we need a skincare regimen to accommodate our current skin issues. What we used in our 20′s and 30′s doesn’t necessarily work in our 40′s. Adding treatment and protection to our routines can make a significant difference.
Antioxidants & Retinoids
Using a creamy cleanser, instead of a gel will help with hydration. Applying antioxidants in a serum, for maximum absorption. A rich creamy moisturizer replacing a lotion will also help keep your skin supple. Another component to be used as a night treatment are retinoids. This is a prescription only, Vitamin A derivative, that has been proven to stimulate collagen production. With consistent use you may see a difference in three to six months.
Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Last but not least, applying a broad spectrum sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection every day. Hydration, treatment and protection. The perfect triple threat!
