Anti Aging Skin Care

We all want to look younger. But just as you wouldn't dress the same as when you were 30 when your 60, your Anti Aging Skin Care needs will also be different at different ages. Yet saying this, it is amazing how many people stay to the same skin care routine using the same Anti Aging Skin Care products for years and even decades. We are all creatures of habit, so in order to properly care for our skin we need to get into the habit of getting new skin care products, the same way we revamp our wardrobes.

Your Thirties

All ages up until now should be focusing on prevention from skin damage. Now this should NEVER stop, no matter what age you're at, but it probably won't be until your thirties until your simple skin care routine no longer seems enough. This is when the skins depletion of collagen and elastin begins. The important thing is to remember not to over do it. Start by using a lighter weight serum everyday at first then cut back to only occasionally when you feel your skin needs a little extra something. Now is a good time to start using a light neck serum and light eye creams. But remember not to go with anything too heavy. If your not doing so already, make sure you are always using sunscreen, even through winter.

Your Forties

This can be the most apparent time of aging and when your Anti Aging Skin Care will really begin. All that sun damage suddenly becomes apparent along with hormonal changes and the onset of menopause for the ladies will come together to noticeably affect the structure and appearance of your skin. The skin around the jaw line will start to slack and the upper face may lose some definition and your skin will start drying out more too. Now is the time to upgrade your eye cream to something a tad heavier and to start using a night cream. To prevent your skin from drying out too much, switch to a cream cleanser. You may also want to start using a lifting or restorative cream.

Your Fifties

Post menopause, your oestrogen levels will drop causing your skin to start to droop and those annoying lines start to form around your lips, and freckles are suddenly everywhere. There are quite a few over 50's Anti Aging Skin Care products on the market. Look for products and anti wrinkle creams containing Proxylane, derived from beechwood it is a natural anti aging agent. Products enriched with caffeine will help get rid of bags under the eyes, and it may be time to change to a cleansing milk for added hydration. To put a bit more firmness into the skin look for creams or capsules with retinyl linoleate and/or hexapeptide-6.

Your Sixties

The main issues for those in their sixties is the loss of calcium in the skin leading to the skin thinning and feeling papery. Look for your Anti Aging Skin Care products with calcium in them. This is fine for all your day, night and eye creams.
