What Can I Expect Without Proper Skin Care?
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. .
In your Teens and Twenties, you probably won't see any real signs of aging unless you've spent many long days in the sun. You can expect to see patches of dull or dead facial skin cells which result in a loss of your youthful, natural radiance due to uneven texture. At this age you'll need to be sure to use a sun screen.
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.
By the time you've reached your FORTIES, your neck and facial skin cells lose their strength because the collagen and elastin in your skin lessens, and your skin is unable to hold the moisture that helps keep it firm. Because of that lack of firmness, the tiny lines you saw in your thirties, deepen and become wrinkles; this is the age when you'll begin to add anti-aging treatments to your routine. Your moisturizers should also contain anti-aging (elastin and collagen) and firming ingredients.
When you get to your FIFTIES, no matter what type skin you have, you can count it becoming dryer, especially in cold weather. That loss of moisture means you can add the look and feel of relaxed neck and facial skin to your list of aging symptoms, particularly along your jaw line, and your wrinkles become creases. Therefore, your face and neck will need moisturizers with more hydration and vitamins, along with those anti-aging and firming ingredients.
Sixty year old skin will show severe loss of strength, which equals sagging skin. Dark spots will appear on your face, neck and the backs of your hands. Furrows will appear where you used to have creases; like those above your nose, your forehead and laugh lines. Your moisturizing routine will need to include age spot reducers as well as the industries most powerful lifting and firming components.
This article describes what you can expect if you get to that age group and are not using skin care at all. Of course a little skin care is better than none, but with the above information you'll know what you need for your skin type and when you need more. Ultimately, using your full twice a day, skin care regimen will pay off with your skin always feeling firmer and looking younger than you really are.
