When you’re in your twenties, preventative skincare is probably the last thing on your mind. You’re busy finishing your degree, growing in your career, and creating memories! However, maintaining your skin’s health now is the only way to make that youthful complexion last. There are a lot of anti-aging routines, products, and suggestions out there, so where should you begin? We’ll keep it simple for you, and your skin will thank you later!
No one can speak to how your skin is doing and help you map out a realistic game plan like a certified esthetician. Through a personalized treatment and assessment, your esthetician will be able to tell you what skin type you have and how to give it what it needs.
All skin types are susceptible to sun damage, which may cause dark spots, wrinkles, dryness, and skin cancer down the road. Make sure to pack a 30+ SPF sunscreen in your beach bag this summer!
Remember how your esthetician can help you determine your skin type? This information will be very useful when you choose products. Different ingredients will have different effects on your skin; for instance, you don’t want to choose ingredients that will dry out already dry skin. Look for ingredients like glycolic acid, vitamin C, peptides, retinol, and sunscreen with zinc.
Antioxidants defend against environmental stressors like pollution, sun damage, and free radicals. Vitamin C improves your skin’s natural ability to retain moisture, evens out your complexion, and diminishes the appearance of dark spots.
Don’t forget to take your makeup off at the end of the day, cleanse with a gentle cleanser suitable to your skin type, and moisturize before you go to bed. This routine helps remove any chemicals, dirt particles, or environmental pollutants that have settled onto your skin over the course of your day.
