Skin Care at Every Age

The options for skin care today can be so overwhelming--how's a girl supposed to figure out what she should be using? As our skin ages, it has different needs and requires different types of products. Follow these tips to learn the skin care routine that's right for your age.

Teens: Start A Routine


You are never too young to take care of your skin. Now is the time to start a healthy skin care regimen--if you do it now, your complexion will thank you later. Products that are a must include a good cleanser, a treatment product and a moisturizer with an SPF--you should follow the Cleanse/Tone, Treat/Repair and Hydrate/Protect system for healthy, radiant skin.

Teens: Wash Up!

Outer Peace<sup>TM</sup> Acne Relief KitTeens tend to experiment with makeup and with their constant busy schedules, they often forget to wash their face at night. Your skin should be washed both day and night to remove the dirt, excess oil and debris that can clog pores, leading to breakouts. Try a cleanser with natural salicylic acid like our Aveda Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser to help combat breakouts.
 

Teens: Get A Jumpstart On Sun Protection

Studies show that a majority of sun damage occurs by the time you're 18, so sun protection is a must! Teens should look for sunscreens that do more than just protect from sun damage. Try our Tinted Moisturizers with SPF 15 protection that also contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and hydrators will help strengthen the skin's barrier, making it better able to defend itself.

20s: It's Never Too Early To Fight Aging
Tourmaline Charged Radiance Masque

Most signs of aging begin to emerge when people are in their 20s with the appearance of fine lines, dry skin, and a tired complexion. To ensure skin continues to look young and supple, embark on an anti-aging skin care routine now. Use products like our Tourmalene Charged Radiance masque to help boost skins ability to turn over those dead skin cells, as well as exfoliating the skin to leave a smooth even complexion.


20s: Eat Your Way To Healthy Skin


Carrie UnderwoodIt's true that you are what you eat and your diet can make its way to your skin. The work/life balance for 20-somethings can be erratic and some turn to fast food diets for a quick, inexpensive meal. It's better to incorporate natural fats like nuts, olive oils and seeds, as these promote glowing skin, and strong hair and nails, while naturally lowering triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels that can affect your health later in life.

20s: Fair Skin Is In


Using tanning beds significantly accelerates skin aging, which isn't something most young people take into consideration, which, when they're older, they'll wish they had. If you insist on having a tan, the only safe alternatives are self-tanners and bronzers or, my personal favorite, a healthy appreciation for your skin's natural coloring.  Try our Uruku Bronzer for a nice healthy glow

Green Science<sup>TM</sup> Firming Eye Creme30s: Banish Dark Circles

Balancing work, family, friends and personal duties can cause exhaustion, making dark circles under the eyes appear more prevalent. Help erase the tired look by using a product like our Green Science firming eye cream that will help to lift and firm the delicate skin around the eye as well as lessen the appearance of the dark areas.

Help your skin turn back the clock with your food vices. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which act as an antioxidant that protects the body from aging caused by free radicals. Red wine contains resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that can slow the age-related deterioration of cells. Always in moderation, of course.
Green Science<sup>TM</sup> Line Minimizer
30s: Pamper Your Eyes

The skin around your eyes will likely be the first place that fine lines appear and begin to "age" your skin. Help diminish them by using our Green Science Firming eye cream both day and night to hydrate the skin around the eyes and increase suppleness. Try also using our Green Science Line Minimizer around the eye area at night as well.

Tourmaline Charged Radiant Skin Refiner40s: Scrub Your Way To Glowing Skin


Women in their 40s are starting to deal with the thinning skin that comes with age, as the supportive subcutaneous fat--which supports our skin--depletes causing pores, follicles and oil glands to appear more prominent. That's why exfoliation is key for a healthy complexion. Exfoliating with Tourmalene Charged Radiant Skin Refiner will help unclog pores and reawaken the complexion.  Safe for all skin types this creamy, clay based exfoliates with bamboo extract and energizes with tourmaline to leave skin radiant and refined. Dermatologist-tested. Non-acnegenic.





Julianna Marguiles40s: Get Your Vitamins

Internal skin care is just as important as topical skin care products because topical products can only aide the 20% of skin that's on the surface; internal will take care of the other 80%. So don't forget to take daily vitamin supplements! A supplement regimen should include a complex of amino acids, glucosamine, vitamin B6, antioxidants, including grape seed extract, and vitamins A, C, D & E.

Green Science<sup>TM</sup> Lifting Serum40s: Don't Forget The Décolleté


The décolleté is one of the areas that shows a woman's true age, due to the delicate nature of the thin skin on the neck and its constant exposure to the elements. Start using an anti-aging product  from your jawline all the way down to your chest. Our Green Science Lifting Serum, with our Green Science firming face cream will help to make sure your face, neck, and décolleté stay lifted and firm.
