For most of us, when we refer to skin care, we mean caring for the face. It is true that the face, more than any other part of the skin, needs care and attention. The face is constantly exposed to the elements, even in severe winter when the rest of the body is well wrapped. Hence, the face is one of the first parts of the body to show signs of aging.
When you are young, the main skin complaints are greasy skin and acne. But as you grow older, the skin gets dry and the challenge is to counteract the dryness of the skin. However, you can have beautiful skin no matter what your age, race or color. The secret is to understand how your skin functions, and to take care of it properly. When you take care of your skin, keep it clean, nourish it, and pamper it, it will respond with gratitude!
There are various components to an optimal Skin Care Regimen; healthy Nutrition, drinking lots of Water, Exercise, a Positive Attitude and adequate Sleep are all essential for healthy skin. In addition, there are numerous Skin Care Products that when applied, cleanse, moisturize, protect and nourish the skin. The types of Skin Care Products that you should use are largely determined by two factors; your age and your skin type. Let's discuss age differences first.
Skin Care by Age
You need to adapt your Skin Care Regimen according to your age. In doing so, this will ensure that your skin is always in the best possible condition that it can be. Throughout the different stages of your life, your skin goes through many changes. What worked in your twenties, may not work in your fifties. Let's look at the challenges that each age group faces and the solutions that can be implemented.
TEENS
This is the best time to establish a proper Skin Care Regimen - the sooner the better. Starting the Fitness Beauty Spa Lifestyle now will pay huge dividends for the rest of your life. Acne, accompanied by Oily Skin, is a major teenage problem which affects both boys and girls. Severe Sunburns usually occur in this age group, as does insufficient Sleep and improper Nutritional and Lifestyle habits.
Solutions:
Acne can be effectively treated with proper Nutrition, Hygiene and regular Cleansing and Toning with Feierabend’s Breakout Buster Cleanser and Breakout Buster Toner. Oily Skin can be remedied by regularly exfoliating with Feierabend’s Wildflower Honey Glow and applying one of Feierabend’s oil-absorbing Mask treatments such as the Pumpkin Peel Enzyme Mask. Sun Exposure is one of the most misunderstood topics concerning skin care. Appropriate Sun Exposure is actually extremely beneficial - the key is to never burn. Adequate Sleep, Stress Reduction and Healthy Lifestyle Choices are beneficial for any age group, but starting in your teens will really give you an advantage in your skin’s long-term health. Also, start using a Moisturizer to preserve your skin’s youth.
TWENTIES
In your twenties, your complexion should be at its best, simply because it's not going through so many changes as when you were a teen. If you want that beautiful complexion to last through your 50's and beyond, you need to establish a proper Skin Care Regimen (if you haven’t done so already). Insufficient Sleep and improper Nutritional and Lifestyle habits will age your skin prematurely. Pregnancy brings on physical and emotional challenges that affect your skin, usually in the form of itchiness and/or dryness.
Solutions:
You want to make sure that your skin is always Hydrated. Moisturizers should be used daily. You may want to begin using a rich Crème for intensive moisturization. This is also a good time to start exfoliating to keep your skin smooth and even in color – a Glow and Facial Mask treatment once or twice a week works wonders. Adequate Sleep, Stress Reduction and Healthy Lifestyle Choices are always essential.
THIRTIES
In your thirties, oil production decreases and you may see lines and wrinkles becoming more apparent. Skin is drier and thinner, pores may appear bigger, and you will notice a decrease in your skin's elasticity. If you haven’t done so already, you need to establish a proper Skin Care Regimen.
Solutions:
This is a good time to start using products which contain DMAE. DMAE helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and makes your skin smoother. Moisturizers are a must.
Glows and Facial Masks should be used 1-2 times per week for exfoliating and moisturizing purposes. Begin using Serums that are firming and protective. These will keep the skin looking tight and wrinkle-free. Adequate Sleep, Stress Reduction and Healthy Lifestyle Choices are always essential.
