What Are The Do’s And Don’ts:
Do’s:
- Using products that have AHA’s (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (known commonly as retinol) are very powerful ingredients and it helps to fight signs of aging and improve the skin texture. AHAs scrape off dead skin cells and reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
- Exfoliating once a week with an exfoliating lotion and make sure to rid your skin of dead cells at least once a week. Women who have oily skin or combination should use chemical exfoliators like glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Scrubs found in microdermabrasives are for people who have sensitive skin.
- Because the skin around the eyes are so fragile, sensitive and thin compared to the skin on the other parts of the face, it is the first place to show signs of aging. So it starts to show the signs of deterioration. Make sure you apply a good eye cream daily, either in the day or at night. If you are using one for the day, it would be good to use one that has an SPF content as well to protect yourself from the sun.
- Antioxidants are the most powerful ingredients which help to fight the signs of ageing. They are found in green tea and get rid of wrinkles,fine lines and enhance the quality of sagging skin. They protect the skin against free radical damage and improve the skin quality on the whole.
Don’ts:
- Rub with pressure on the skin cause when you apply skin care products, when you exfoliate or when you dry your skin after rinsing. Aging skin is exposed to harsh UV rays, pollution and carbon monoxide. Just dab it lightly, don’t pull the skin and stress it.
- Moisturizing is most important.The most common reason people skip moisturizing is because they have oily skin and think they don’t require it. However, there is a grave misconception that oily skin doesn’t require moisture. There is a difference between moisture and oil. And oily skin requires moisture as well. Therefore, don’t give up on moisturizing ever, even if you have oily skin or if the humidity is high. So using a moisturizer is equally important to use throughout the year.
- Your neck and chest also have thinner and more delicate skin as compared to the skin on the rest of your body. You will find that they don’t have the signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines much earlier like your eyes. So, make sure you use your anti-aging skin care products on your neck and chest areas as well. Moreover, don’t forget to moisturize the areas well.
- Sunscreen is equally important. Winter is no reason you should skip sunscreen. your skin is vulnerable to the harsh sun rays all the time, even if it’s winter. It is important not to forget to apply sunscreen whenever you venture out in the sun. Prolonged or unprotected sun exposure can cause grave sun damage and even lead to skin cancer.
