Learn what products you should pick up or swap out as you get older.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our skin is always changing, so your skin care routine should too. Instead of just using whatever\u2019s lying around, you should always pick products that target your ever-changing skin concerns. So if you\u2019re still slathering on the same moisturizer from three years ago, you need to update your stash stat. We\u2019ve got you covered: From your teens through your 60s and beyond, here\u2019s how to get beautiful skin at every age.<\/p>\n
It seems so unfair, just when you\u2019ve figured out high school, you find yourself entrenched in a major battle with acne. An increase in hormones spurs breakouts, so teens are often concerned with how to get rid of acne<\/a>. Luckily, good hygiene, like washing your face twice a day, plus the right products can go a long way towards having clear skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A healthy glow comes from nourishing your skin, not stripping it. Swap out that harsh anti-acne face wash for a gentle cleanser. Next, unclog your pores. Use a chemical exfoliator, like salicylic acid, which gets rid of dead skin cells on the surface and kills bacteria at the core of a pimple, and consider using a sonic facial brush, like the LUNA™ play<\/a> to wash away oil and impurities. If you\u2019re on the go, keep blotting paper handy to soak up excess oil throughout the day. If your pimples still won\u2019t go away, spot-treat them with benzoyl peroxide to stop acne-causing bacteria in it\u2019s tracks. To keep your face hydrated and wrinkle-free, always apply lightweight moisturizer and sunscreen to protect from the sun’s harmful rays and prevent premature aging. With these products, your pimples don\u2019t stand a chance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your 20s should be all about protecting your skin. But poor lifestyle choices, like partying too hard, skipping sunscreen, or forgetting to wash off makeup before bed, can lead to premature aging, so it\u2019s important to step up your skin care products and not skimp on your daily beauty rituals..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Much of your acne subsides by your late 20s, so put the benzoyl peroxide and blotting paper away and begin stocking up on anti-aging products. Start using protective serums filled antioxidants<\/a> (like Vitamin C and E) that defend against sun damage<\/a>, boost collagen, and reduce dark spots. Finally, refresh your face with a relaxing sheet mask (it\u2019s like rehab for your skin) once or twice week to keep your skin moisturized and your stress at bay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may notice more fine lines and dark spots, since natural skin exfoliation slows down in your 30s. You\u2019ll need to help out your skin exfoliate regularly and promote healthy cell regeneration. Now is also the time to introduce wrinkle-treating retinoids and eye cream into your routine to fight the first signs of aging.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Swap your face wash from your 20s for a lightly exfoliating cleanser and invest in a LUNA™ 2 <\/a>facial-cleansing brush to remove dead skin cells. In addition to moisturizer, begin using eye cream to smooth lines under the eyes and at night, use a product with retinol (a potent form of Vitamin A) to improve skin texture and tone. Pro tip: Products with retinol increase sun sensitivity and make you more susceptible to burns, so only apply these treatments at night when you won\u2019t be in the sun During the day, always use sunscreen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In your 40s, hormone fluctuations can create noticeable changes in your skin. A decrease in estrogen impacts key skin cells: fibroblasts (which produce collagen, elastin, and keratinocytes that protect your skin) and melanocytes (which keep your skin firm and evenly toned). Your skin also becomes drier in your 40s, so now is the time to seriously up your moisturizer game and ensure that your products contain antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Continue to use an antioxidant serum and retinol treatment (our anti-aging heroes), which will both plump skin, promote collagen, and add firmness. Begin using a product with peptides. This miracle ingredient is a helpful protein that retains water and keeps skin from drying out. Don\u2019t forget to extend your anti-aging regimen to other parts of the body that can wrinkle, such as your neck and hands. Add a neck cream to keep skin smooth and tight, and get into a habit of using the LUNA 2 <\/a>anti-aging mode, which helps massage anti-wrinkle products into the skin. It increases product absorption, making your serums and treatments work even better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In these years, menopause and a steady decline in estrogen cause collagen loss and dry skin, so you should continue to focus on boosting hydration and collagen production. As you get older and move through your 50s and 60s, your skin may become more sensitive, so you\u2019ll have to reduce or get rid of your exfoliating products all together. Also, try to use mild, unscented products, since these tend to be gentler to your skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Continue to add moisture and use quality products that have phytoestrogen, a plant-derived ingredient that brightens skin and reduces sunspots. You can even stop washing your face in the morning and opt for a splash of water instead. Use an under-eye massager like the IRIS™<\/a> to help combat crow’s feet, eye bags, and dark circles, and add a rich night cream to your arsenal for additional hydration. Remember: with a smile on your face (and a little moisturizer) you\u2019ll be glowing no matter what your age.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learn what products you should pick up or swap out as you get older.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1417,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[369],"tags":[35,39,222],"yoast_head":"\nWhat to use: <\/strong><\/h3>\n
