If you are thinking about cosmetics for younger skin, you are probably aware of the huge choice in the market. But what else is available for younger skin? Fortunately, the consumer has more options today than ever before.
First, remember that what you put on your skin does not directly contribute to your health and wellness. If you smoke, don’t smoke. If you drink a lot of coffee, don’t. We are all surrounded by toxins, and some of us are just genetically predisposed to dealing with them better than others.
If you have been following a healthy diet, sleeping, and exercising for years, you likely feel great. Unfortunately, there’s always room for improvement. New products can help you feel more confident and comfortable with your appearance.
However, do you know which products are best for you? The truth is that it depends on your skin type. Your makeup should be designed for your skin type, but it shouldn’t be so different from what you would use for your face.
For instance, if you tend to burn before you go to sleep, you may want to choose an oil-free foundation. The same goes for people who have skin that breaks out easily, should use primer before applying foundation.
As we age, our skin becomes more fragile. Almost everything we touch or brush comes into contact with our skin. Even the tiniest object, like a hair, can cause a lot of damage. A primer is a great product that holds your makeup in place to prevent this from happening.
Your next goal should be to figure out what causes these breakouts. You may be surprised to find out that what you have may actually be a fungal overgrowth. The culprit is usually extended periods of sun. If you noticed, a little darker patch today, you may start seeing them in the future.
Another popular culprit is acne scarring. If you have been getting scabs or growing acne, you may want to visit a dermatologist. A doctor can examine your problem and recommendighter acne scar treatment.
Many people don’t realize that a decrease in oil production is a factor in breakouts. No matter how pure the ingredients are, you can still have an oil buildup. When your oil production decreases, your skin doesn’t naturally produce as much protective oil. So in order to combat this problem, you may need to add an oil counter-acting ingredient, like atoms minorities and sulfates.
Your skin care may need deep cleansing. You may have removed dirt and grime from your skin recently, but continue to see blackheads and dirt nipping at your heels. A thorough cleansing can remove this accumulated oil, as well as dirt and make-up and leaving your skin feeling smooth.
Then you need toning. Complexion enhancements for your skin can come in a bottle, or you can save a little and choose to drink it internally. Toning is much gentler on your skin; some so gentle that it may even wipe away the moisture in your skin. The way that some toners smell– highly refreshing, invigorating– may be an indicator that you are on the right track.
If you need a deep cleaning, you may want to choose an astringent. Astringents go into the extra pores and remove any dirt that swims out to the surface. It also helps the skin’s absorption of any moisturizer or makeup you decide on. Some may call it an antioxidant.
Then you may want to apply a moisturizer. A good moisturizer will help prevent dryness and/or irritation of the skin due to extended sun exposure. Often a bit of tinted moisturizer applied under your usual sunscreen will be enough to help protect against the sun’s harmful rays.
When you have finished the cleansing and toning process, you may want to apply a moisturizer with an SPF of approximately 30. A moisturizer with an SPF of 30 will help you reduce the water equivalent of your skin’s fluid. This equals one shade less melted out by the sun. Try to find one that is waterproof. The ones that are listed waterproof will prevent your skin from dripping and being damaged by the sun.
Remember, the water in your sweat is the most common culprit of a bad sunburn. If you have had bad sunburns, then consider putting on a hat or wearing a bandage so your skin heals more quickly.
