There are endless narratives about reversing the signs of aging, with messages that can come across as negative or even harmful when it comes to something as natural as getting old. We need to see more articles and conversations about aging gracefully and embracing a process that every human being goes through! Instead of pushing an unrealistic ideal, instead we can look at ways to keep your skin as healthy as possible, while maintaining a body positive outlook. Here are some starter tips to best care for your skin at any age.
Use Gentle Skincare Products
There’s no denying that skincare is an everyday essential. But that doesn’t mean that just any skincare products will be good enough to keep your skin in optimal health. Instead of reaching for just any face wash, cleanser, or moisturizer that claims to be the best for your skin, you should always opt for gentle skincare products. Products that are gentle on the skin are suitable for sensitive skin types, so avoid misleading labels that promise suitability to every kind of skin.
Switch Up Your Makeup Products
While your go-to makeup products from specific brands might have been suitable long before you started to notice the emergence of seemingly stubborn fine lines, maturing skin needs a bit more. Switching up your makeup products for organic and vegan-friendly products by trying out a free makeup sample or two will benefit your skin.
Even though synthetic anti-aging skin care products can contain active ingredients that really will provide some results, makeup is somewhat different. Synthetic makeup products contain ingredients that can aggravate and age the skin, as their primary intent is not to improve skin health. Changing to organic products will ensure that your makeup looks are not negatively affecting your skin’s health.
Moisturize With Persistence
There are countless anti-aging products out there that all seem equally as promising. Unfortunately, not all can deliver, while some may only provide minimal results. Despite some of these products actually proving somewhat effective, one of the most effective actions to keep your skin protected from aging is often overlooked. Merely keeping your skin moisturized with natural gentle products is enough to prevent the early onset of fine lines and wrinkles. When moisturizing to rejuvenate your skin, you should also target areas of concern, such as the skin around your eyes.
Prioritize Protection From The Sun
No amount of under eye cream will protect your skin from sun damage. And sun damage will fuel the development of wrinkles, dark marks, and other signs of aging. Therefore, you should prioritize sun protection as a crucial step in your daily skincare routine, even if you aren’t planning on spending the day outside. You don’t have to throw out your makeup either, as there are various makeup products that include active ingredients that effectively stave off sun damage. In addition to using sunscreen products, you should also use a moisturizing lip product that doubles up as sunscreen.
