Most people obsess about wrinkles and texture while ignoring the other three signs of aging which are, sagging skin, discoloration and redness. Focusing on wrinkles and ignoring the other three signs of aging will not lead to a healthy, even toned face. The key to healthy and glowing skin is to treat all four signs of aging. You daily skin care regime should focus on the face as a whole.
Sagging skin - Over time gravity does take it toll on our skin. In addition, as we age the skin does not renew itself as fast as it used to thus we lose suppleness and resilience. In addition, pores will seem to be bigger as though they are stretched out of shape. The best skin care for sagging skin is a good moisturizer enriched with Vitamin A, Vitamin C and alpha or beta hydroxy. The key is finding the right moisturizer that is not too heavy for you skin. Heavy moisturizers have a tendency to clog pores. A good moisturizer will temporarily plump you skin and not weigh it down further or clog pores.
Wrinkles and Texture - As we age, the body produces less oil, thus leaving dry patchy areas and less elasticity in your face. As outlined above a good moisturizer will help with dry patchy areas, however if you skin is tolerant, a good facial peel or exfoliate will smooth out you skin.
Discoloration and Redness - Even though we are inclined to obsessively fight wrinkles, it is the random facial spots, patches of darkness , and dullness that makes our skin look tired and old. Using lotions with an active combination of Vitamin A and C will help alleviate dullness and help the skin renew itself. In addition a gentle facial scrub will eliminate the dead cells on the surface.
Healthy, youthful skin does not happen by itself after the age of 30. You should have a daily skin care regime.
