Everyday Skin Care Regimen for Women



Maintaining beautiful, healthy, and youthful skin takes a lot of work. Not everyone is blessed with naturally smooth and beautiful skin from birth. That doesn't mean though that if you usually have dry, coarse skin you will have to suffer that for the rest of your life. Like most things in life, you need to work for it in order to achieve it and enjoy its benefits.

There are two important parts of skin care that women should make part of their everyday routine. First is cleaning, the second is caring. 

Hygiene plays an important part in skin care because dirt and impurities can directly blemish and harm the skin. Cleansing then should be the first on your daily skin care regimen. Every evening when you get home from work or school, take a shower and use a deep-pore cleanser. Choose facial and body washes with very tiny beads for microdermabrasion. They are very good at removing deep-seated dirt and dead skin cells, so they also promote skin rejuvenation. If you're using a loofah be gentle in scrubbing your skin, otherwise it will become dry and painful. You can also use your favorite germicidal soap and follow it up with a milder milk-based soap or the like.

After cleansing, start pampering your skin. In the mornings, lather on facial cream and body lotion with a high SPF. If you're going to do sports and other activities that will expose you to the sun for hours, put on some sunblock. The UV rays from the sun are one of the causes for fast skin aging. They cause the formation of random dark spots, freckles, sunburn, and also wrinkles. On summer days, bring an umbrella or wear a wide-brimmed hat for good measure.

You can also use other facial creams and body lotions targeting problem areas like wrinkles around the eyes, stretch marks behind the knees and over the belly, large pores, and dark skin areas. Remember not to use too many at the same time though, because an excess of chemicals may damage instead of revitalize. Besides, conflicting products may not work as well as they would when applied solo. Buy them from a trusted skin centre so that you can be sure of their effectiveness.

If you're going to put on makeup, make sure it is hypo-allergenic and compatible with your skin type. Remember the SOP when buying new makeup: do a patch test first and see if your skin has a negative reaction to the substances in the makeup. At the end of each day, use a very good makeup remover to clean your face thoroughly. Remember that your makeup will undoubtedly be mixing with the natural oils in your skin, so it will be difficult to remove with merely a tissue or even soap and water.

Lastly, don't forget to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize. This is important for preserving your skin's elasticity, smoothness, softness, and youthfulness. Put on moisturizer in the morning and evening or on any time of the day when your skin feels dry and tight.

Skin Care over 40 for Healthy Younger Looking Skin


For women over 40, taking good care of your skin requires more attention to your skin’s aging needs. It’s an age when keeping your skin from unnecessary wrinkles and damage becomes a lifelong practice. Even if you were blessed with good skin genes, a good skin regimen over 40 will help you achieve a younger, healthier look that lasts over time.

One of the best ways to keep skin looking younger over time is to be diligent about following a facial skincare routine and realizing that keeping your skin from aging revolves around many factors.

For instance, vitamins, healthy eating and sunscreen are habits that you should practice more regularly to maintain both inner health and skin health.

Moisturizing is vital to maintain elasticity and firm skin. Bad habits like smoking or drinking too much alcohol is a skin moisture robber which will ultimately age your skin over time.

Also, proper skin cleansing over 40 is extremely important for better looking skin because skin pores can clog so easily and many women still tend to have breakouts over 40.

Yet older skin tends to be more delicate and susceptible to wrinkles, so, you have to be careful with skin cleansing when you also have acne. If parts of your face are oily and other parts are scaly, it’s important to find the right products to cleanse your skin.

For instance, a Retinol vitamin A based product, may be a better way to spot treat blemishes as opposed to Benzoyl Peroxide found in many acne creams, because it’s less drying to skin.

You should also remember that the delicate skin around your eyes requires skin care that is separate from the rest of your face, as this skin is thinner. Over time, a reduction in collagen production makes the eye area even more prone to wrinkles, so a collagen enriching eye cream can be used just for the eye area.

When you’re over 40, you don’t ever want to scrub mature skin, but a good exfoliation from time to time, (excluding the eye area), to get rid of flaky dead skin cells will help the skin to replenish new skin cells and reduce the appearance of dull, tired skin.

Remember, the key to maintaining lifelong younger skin when you’re over 40 is to provide a regimen personalized to your skin’s needs and stick with it for years to come.
