What does your skin need at every age?!

Our skin changes with every decade-depressing, yes! I know now at 42 myself I am all too familiar with the changes. Our skin needs different ingredients and there is so much more now to help prevent the signs of aging.

It is more important now than ever before to ensure you are getting the right advice not only for your skin type but also your age.

What are the right advanced treatments you should be having?

20’s-Protect and repair

Prevention is the best cure and well your twenties is the right time for this. It is imperative that a moisturizer and sunscreen is a part of your daily routine. Sun exposure and all the partying are not great for our skins. It is a party for free radicals- Free radical damage from the sun exposure, smoking, alcohol consumption can seriously damage the skin. When you have free radical damage it accelerates the aging process.

The perfect skin care is

• Cleanse
• Tone
• moisturize with sunscreen or apply it separately
• Antioxidants > Vitamin C

30’s- Exfoliate and Rejuvenate

This is when most of us especially Aussie’s see that first line appear. Skin regeneration slows down leading to a dull uneven skin tone. Our production of collagen and elastin begins to slow down.
