Caring for Your Skin as You Mature

Aging Skin CareYour skin changes as you age, and so should your skin care routine. The normal changes of aging are inevitable, but with skin rejuvenation products, facial treatments that don’t involve surgery and hair care products, there are plenty of options for enhancing your natural beauty as you age.  

Time in the sun, smoking, diet and heredity all have effects that become evident on your skin as you mature. Stress, gravity and obesity can also affect the way that your skin looks. As you age, your skin doesn’t produce new cells as quickly as it used to, so it gradually becomes less elastic and prone to dryness.  
 
A few simple steps are all you need to care for your skin, as you get older. The following natural beauty steps can get you started:
  • If you smoke, stop.
  • Just say no to sunbathing and tanning salons.
  • Wear sunscreen religiously.
  • Check your skin for skin cancer.
  • Soothe dry skin.
  • Eat right and hydrate.
  • Try anti-aging products.
  • Know about skin treatments available your dermatologist.

Dry Skin

Because dryness and itchiness are common characteristics of mature skin, you will need to moisturize regularly. Certain soaps can further dry out your skin, so avoid scented, deodorant and antibacterial soaps—opt for a moisturizing body wash or soap-free cleanser instead. After showering or bathing, use a towel to pat your skin dry, but leave it a little damp. Next, apply a moisturizer within three minutes to help lock in moisture. If you skin is especially dry, try using a humidifier in your home to put moisture back into the air or talk to your dermatologist for further treatment options.
