Skin Care Essentials for Mature Skin: Look Younger Today
There are a multitude of products labeled as skin care essentials. So how do you know which products are truly essential for looking younger? Here they are:
1. Water. As we age, skin becomes dryer and more prone to wrinkles. Drinking water provides the hydration you need to plump up your skin and look younger.
2. A healthy diet. Lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables are skin care essentials because they provide the nutrients your skin (and the rest of your body) needs to look and feel its best.
3. Exercise. Regular exercise, especially cardiovascular exercise, sends oxygen rushing to your skin cells, making them look more vibrant and therefore younger. Regular vigorous exercise also helps relieve stress, so you will be less likely to use other stress relievers, such as tobacco or alcohol, which damage skin.
4. Sleep. While you sleep, your body produces human growth hormone, which helps keep your skin thick and elastic, thus less prone to wrinkles. On the other hand, when you deny yourself sleep, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol has been shown to break down skin cells.
5. Sunscreen. If you worshipped the sun in your teens, you probably regret it now because your skin is as dry and brown as leather. No matter what your age, always wear sunscreen when you go outdoors, to prevent any future damage.
6. Moisturizer. Use both a daytime and a nighttime moisturizer. The daytime version protects your skin from potentially drying environments while the nighttime version replenishes your skin while you sleep. There are many versions of these skin care essentials. The best ones have ingredients such as Vitamins A, C and E, aloe, alpha hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid and retinol.
7. Eye cream. The skin around the eyes is much more delicate than other portions of your face. It needs special treatment. Invest in a good quality eye cream and use it faithfully.
8. Exfoliator. A gentle exfoliator will remove the dead skin cells and toxins that make your skin look dull, lifeless and old. However, it is important to choose the right product because some products may be too harsh for mature skin.
9. Face masks. A weekly face mask lifts the skin, reduces wrinkles and is a great way to relax for a few minutes. There are many such masks available commercially or you can make your own. One easy one involves applying a beaten egg white to your face and leaving it there for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
10. Proper eyewear. If you need corrective lenses (that is, eyeglasses or contact lenses), wear them. Not only will you see properly, you will prevent the wrinkles caused by squinting. If you are fortunate enough to have good vision, you should still wear sunglasses in bright sunlight, for the same reason.
11. A good dermatologist. A qualified dermatologist will guide you to more advanced skin care essentials you may need and away from other remedies that could ultimately do more harm than good.
These 11 skin care essentials will go a long way to helping you look younger and healthier. Try them today and start getting compliments.

Skincare: The safest ways to use exfoliating products
Skincare exfoliators are an essential part of anyone’s beauty routine. Exfoliators slough off dry skin cells to reveal the younger looking skin below.
However, as many people know, it is easy to misuse exfoliating products and end up with red, raw skin, rather than the young and lovely skin promised in the ads. Here are the safest ways to use exfoliating products.
1. Most obviously, follow the directions on the package. Skincare companies, like all companies, want to avoid complaints and lawsuits from unhappy customers. That’s why they have legal experts carefully read over all the instructions to make sure they are clear to a ‘reasonable person.’ Read those instructions carefully, both in the store and while using the product. Be sure you understand each step thoroughly.
2. Read the label. If you know that you have sensitive skin and are sensitive to particular ingredients, don’t buy the product, no matter what it promises. While this is obvious, it is so easy to be tempted by the before-and-after pictures in the ads.
3. Unless the directions say otherwise, always use the exfoliator on wet skin. The additional moisture will make the product gentler on your face.
4. Again, unless the directions state otherwise, use the exfoliator after you’ve cleaned your skin. Remove all your cosmetics and the day’s dirt and oils so you won’t be grinding toxins into your face while you’re removing those dead skin cells.
5. Use the smallest amount of exfoliator possible, especially at first. The more product you use, the more likely it is that it will irritate your skin. Once you know that it is safe for your skin, gradually increase the amount you use.
6. Use the right product. In today’s tough economy, we all want to save a few pennies. But it’s not worth it to use a single exfoliator on both your face and your body. A body exfoliator will be too harsh on your more delicate facial skin and a facial exfoliator may not do an adequate job on the rest of your body.
7. Read product reviews before you buy. If you find an intriguing skincare product but you don’t know whether to believe its claims, try an internet search for the product ‘+ scam’. There are countless consumer review websites. If there is a problem with that particular product, chances are someone will have complained about it online, in no uncertain terms. (However, be aware that some unscrupulous companies will pay writers to create glowing ‘unbiased’ reviews.)
8. When using the exfoliator, use gentle circular motions that move slowly upward from your neck. Then when it is time to rinse it off, use warm water, never hot or cold to avoid damaging your skin. Pat your face or body dry with a towel, never rub it or risk damaging your skin.
Skincare exfoliating products make a big difference in your complexion — if you choose the correct, good-quality product for your needs and use it correctly.

Skin Beauty: Three Simple Skincare Routines Which Save Time
Skin beauty seems like an expensive, time-consuming venture. Look in the skin care aisle at your local store you could swear that looking good will take a major chunk of your time. It doesn’t have to be that way. Here are three simple skin-care routines that will save you time and money.
1. Clean. Every day, dab some lemon or apple juice on your skin and carefully rinse it away with warm water. Pat dry. These juices (you can also use milk or vinegar) clean the top layer of your skin allowing natural oils to reach the surface. Thus, they clean oily skin and moisturize dry skin. (Just be careful around the eyes.) This step only takes a few seconds.
2. Tone. After removing all the dirt and oils, you need toner to bring the skin’s chemistry back to its normal Ph balance (i.e. not too oily, not too dry). There are many toners on the market made for specific skin types that can be excellent methods for soothing the skin after using potentially harsh cleansers. However, many people are perfectly satisfied with rinsing their face with cool water. Simply splash it on your face and pat dry: You’re good to go with no wasted effort.
3. Moisturize. Your skin needs moisture every day in order to stay young and healthy looking. Instead of buying fancy and expensive creams, all you need to do is apply a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil to your face every day and every night. Let it soak in and watch your skin beauty come out.
There! In just a few minutes, you’ve made your skin beautiful without a lot of masks, scrubs or facials. You didn’t need to inject foreign substances into your face to paralyze it or resort to any other extremes.
However, even with these easy steps, it can take a bit of time to establish a consistent routine. In order to get into the habit of using these time-saving skin beauty tips, you need to take just a few minutes to set yourself up for success.
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Buy the ingredients listed above along with some decorative bottles. When you get home, put a small amount of each ingredient in the bottles and store the bottles in your bathroom. This way you will use them consistently and won’t have to go running to the kitchen for your supplies.
2. Post a calendar in your bathroom and mark each day that you follow your cleansing/toning/moisturizing routine. No matter how tired or busy you feel, don’t let a day go buy without following these three skin beauty steps.
3. Mention your routine on a social networking site. It’s a great way to keep a resolution. You’ll feel as if you advertised your skin beauty routine and feel accountable if you don’t follow through. You may find yourself getting comments on how lovely your skin looks.
Skin beauty is a multi-billion dollar industry but thankfully, you can look your best without a lot of hassle.
