Your skincare routine, the one you have been religiously using for years, may no longer serve your skin. Never more so as when we near, or are beyond 40. It’s a time of adjustment in many ways. Hormonal shifts may play havoc with us, resulting in drier skin or even breakouts.
Let’s face it, change is inevitable. But with the right wisdom you can balance your maturing skin, resulting in a smooth, softer appearance, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Here’s how to tweak and take control of your skincare as you age.
Clean Skin is Healthy Skin
Dirt really does dull your complexion. It’s staggering how much dirt our skin collects throughout the day; that’s why it’s important to cleanse thoroughly. If you don’t have time to do it twice a day, always cleanse before bedtime so your skin can breathe and repair overnight.
Hydrate to Maintain your Healthy Glow
This may sound obvious but hydration is often overlooked in our busy lives. Keep your body well hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of mineral water. If you buy water, remember mineral water is purer than spring water.
Why? Our bodies are almost two-thirds water; we need to keep ourselves hydrated in order to function properly. Water is vital to flush toxins out of our body and aids the absorption of vitamins and minerals from food and supplements.
Peel Back the Years
Exfoliate regularly, ideally once a week. Massage your exfoliant in small circular movements.
Why? Exfoliation removes dead skin cells revealing a new smooth layer, in turn stimulating your circulation leaving your face with that healthy glow.
