 The Benefits of Proper Skin Care After the Age of 40

As you age, your skin changes. Skin loses its elasticity and may develop wrinkles and fine lines. If you want to keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant well into your golden years, proper skin care is essential. Here are some of the most important tips to ensure that your skin stays healthy and youthful as you age.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

As we age, our skin produces less oil, which can lead to dryness, itching, and flaking. That's why it's so important to moisturize regularly. Look for a moisturizer that suits your skin type and apply it daily, after cleansing. You may also want to use a heavier cream at night to give your skin an extra boost of hydration. It’s not only about what you put on your skin, but also what you put in your body. Eat a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (fish, nuts), Vitamin C (citrus fruits), Vitamin E (vegetable oils) and AHA’s (green leafy vegetables). Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol excessively as these habits can contribute to wrinkles. Finally, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun without sunscreen—even if you're wearing protective clothing. The sun is responsible for most signs of aging such as wrinkles and brown spots--you'll never be too old for sunscreen! In addition to all this information, remember to use good judgment with cosmetics. When using make-up, don't go overboard with powders or heavy creams because they can cause clogged pores and breakouts later on. And when removing make-up, do so gently with cold water because hot water could cause inflammation. Get in the habit of giving your face a gentle massage twice per day, once morning and once evening. These facial massages will stimulate circulation and reduce puffiness under the eyes, as well as stimulate collagen production to help repair existing damage from free radicals due to pollution and UV rays. Just like in life, prevention is key: take care of your skin now to avoid worrying about it later. At Sensuous Beauty Salon & Spa, we know how important it is to keep your skin looking healthy.

Sunscreen Should Be Used Year Round

Most people think that they only need to worry about sunscreen during the summer months, but that is not the case. You should be using sunscreen year-round, no matter what the weather is like. The sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate through clouds and cause damage to your skin. It doesn't have to be a scorching hot day for your skin to sustain harm from the sun. In fact, if you're out in the cold for a prolonged period of time, you may actually end up with more freckles than if you were outside on a hot day. Make sure you use at least SPF 30+ every day! Many lotions also come with built-in moisturizers, which are important because as we age our skin becomes thinner and less supple. Sunscreen also protects against wrinkles. Nowadays there are so many different types of lotions available that it's easy to find one tailored specifically to your needs or preferences. 

Maintain Your Skin's Natural PH Balance: Using a facial cleanser designed specifically for sensitive skin will help maintain your natural PH balance while removing dirt and oil buildup without irritating the skin. Rinse off any cleanser residue thoroughly before applying any other products (sunscreen, moisturizer). Avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubbing tools; instead use lukewarm water and gentle circular motions when cleansing delicate areas such as around the eyes or nose area. Don't forget to apply moisturizer after you've finished washing your face! Moisturizing prevents dryness and tightness caused by environmental factors. Moisturizers are particularly important for those with aging skin because their cells grow slower than younger cells, making them dryer overall. Start off slow - if your skin reacts negatively to the product, stop using it right away! Look for creams made especially for sensitive skin or acne-prone complexion. They'll contain ingredients like salicylic acid, witch hazel extract, tea tree oil and even seaweed extract which work together to reduce inflammation, control excess sebum production and keep pores clean. Use these everyday under makeup or as a night cream to get better results over time! Some skin care experts recommend investing in professional facials, but this is often an expensive investment. Instead, start off with regular trips to the dermatologist. Plus, visits to the dermatologist give you the opportunity to ask questions and talk about how your skin is doing. Lastly, always remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep each night for healthy skin.

Aging happens slowly over the course of decades and just as slowly does our body lose its ability to resist the passage of time. But it doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it! All that said, one thing remains true- taking care of yourself both inside and out has never been more important than ever before. As we continue to age, it's more important than ever to take care of our skin, which is the largest organ in our bodies. Here are some of the benefits of proper skin care for your skin in your later years. Some lotions also come with built-in moisturizers, which are important because as we age our skin becomes thinner and less supple.Sunscreen also protects against wrinkles.

New Ways to Combat Puffiness

Puffiness and dark circles under the eyes can be frustrating to deal with, but there are a few things you can do to help combat them. Start by using an eye cream that contains caffeine, which can help constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation. You can also try using a cold compress for a few minutes each day. In addition, make sure you're getting enough sleep and drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. One final tip is to use products labeled non-comedogenic, as these products won't clog pores or lead to breakouts on oily skin. Non-comedogenic cosmetics are best suited for those who have combination skin - meaning they have both dry and oily patches. Lastly, consult with a dermatologist if puffiness persists after trying these methods. A doctor will likely recommend one of two options: Botox injections or fat injections. While botox works to paralyze muscles in the face, fat injections are designed to plump up specific areas. Both treatments should last anywhere from three months to one year, depending on how often they need to be repeated. The cost ranges between $300-$1,000 per treatment session. If you would like to go this route, ask about long-term maintenance costs and other side effects before signing any agreements. Before choosing the right skincare routine for yourself, it's important to understand the types of skin. There are five different types: dry, normal, sensitive, acne-prone and oil-prone. Knowing what type of skin you have can help determine which products work best for you. Dry skins generally require extra moisture while oilier skins need a product that mattifies their complexion. Sensitive skins typically react poorly to harsh ingredients found in many store bought skincare items so avoid such ingredients if possible when shopping around for something new. With regards to age wrinkles tend not be visible until about 30 years old but at 40 years old everyone's faces begin to show signs of aging no matter what type of skin they may have had earlier on. What should you look for in a moisturizer? You'll want to find one that has natural moisturizing ingredients, like shea butter or vitamin E. Finding the right moisturizer is especially important during colder weather because our skin loses its natural oils and becomes more prone to cracking. Finally, always remember to wear sunscreen! As we age our skin becomes thinner and more prone to sun damage leading to brown spots and leathery looking skin so it's crucial we protect ourselves from UV rays by wearing sunscreen every single day. SPF can be in the form of a moisturizer, makeup or even clothing. Regardless of what you choose to apply on top of your skin, make sure you are using a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher and reapplying every few hours. For example, someone living in a climate that gets six hours of sunshine daily would need to reapply every 2-3 hours for the most protection. Keep in mind that since there are tons of products out there claiming to be all natural, many contain oxybenzone which is considered toxic to humans and the environment. It's best to stick with sunscreens made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which pose minimal risks to health and don't have environmental impact like oxybenzone does. SPF should be reapplied every few hours for the best sun protection.

Reduce Dark Circles & Eye Bags

One of the best things you can do for your skin after the age of 40 is to reduce dark circles and eye bags. Here are a few tipstips. First, make sure that your bedroom is well-lit so that it doesn't get too dark when you're trying to sleep. Second, get plenty of sleep so that your body has time to repair itself while you're asleep. Third, stay hydrated by drinking lots of water during the day, but don't overdo it because this can cause problems with dehydration at night time too. Fourth, try not to overeat or eat heavy foods before bedtime as this will make it harder for you to fall asleep comfortably. Fifth, be sure not to take hot showers or baths before bedtime because this could lead to difficulty falling asleep due to elevated body temperature at night time. Sixth, avoid caffeine close to bedtime as it can act as a stimulant that keeps you awake at night. Seventh, use light makeup products if possible (such as using powder instead of liquid foundation) so that they won't rub off on your pillowcase which may contribute to breakouts in the morning. Eighth, use gentle moisturizers such as creams instead of lotions and apply them carefully in order to avoid getting them into your eyes and contact lenses. Ninth, wear sunglasses if possible in order to prevent UV damage from the sun; remember to reapply sunscreen often if necessary! And finally tenth, have a relaxing nighttime routine where you read something calming like a book or listen to music before going to sleep. The idea here is to signal your brain that it's time for rest and relaxation - not work or other obligations. For example, set an alarm so that you know when to stop reading or listening to music and start winding down. Also, never look at screens within an hour of bedtime because the bright lights from your phone or computer could disrupt your sleep cycle. Try meditation if you find yourself tossing and turning for hours on end each night - it can help clear out any worries about today's issues which may have been keeping you up all night long. Plus, investing in a quality mattress also goes a long way towards ensuring quality sleep throughout the evening hours! Maintaining proper levels of vitamin D can also keep wrinkles away. Vitamin D is obtained through exposure to sunlight, however you should limit your exposure as much as possible without risking sunburns or other harmful effects from the sun. 

A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables with enough protein should also go a long way towards reducing wrinkles around the eyes. Include these items in your daily meals if you want to see significant improvement! Asparagus, Avocado, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Mustard Greens. Peas, Pineapple, Spinach, Squash. Swiss Chard. Zucchini. Alfalfa, Bamboo Shoots, Beans, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage. Carrots. Celery. Cauliflower. Corn. Cucumber. Eggplant. Garlic, Ginger Root, Grapefruit, Honeydew Melon, Lettuce – Romaine & Iceberg types only! Mushrooms – Shiitake or White Button Types Only! Okra. Onions – Red or White Type OnlyOmlettes

Mushrooms – Shiitake or White Button Types Only! Okra. Onions – Red or White Type OnlyOmlettes, Potatoes, Radishes, Rutabaga, Saffron. Seaweed. Soybeans. Spinach - Frozen spinach is best! String beans. Tomatoes – grape or cherry tomatoes are best! Winter squash – Acorn and Butternut squash varieties are the most nutritious! Beets. Bell peppers – orange and red peppers provide the most benefits! Bok choy. Brown rice - White rice should be avoided as it can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes and weight gain!

Drink Plenty of Water & Supplement with Collagen

Drinking plenty of water is important for all aspects of health, including skin health. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water per day. In addition to water, supplementing with collagen can also help improve the appearance of your skin. Collagen is a protein that helps keep skin looking plump and smooth. You can find collagen supplements in most health food stores. Look for one that contains high-quality gelatin from grass-fed cows (be sure it says certified organic) as well as high-quality amino acids from either an animal or plant source. Don’t take more than 20 grams per day without consulting your doctor first. There are many benefits to taking these supplements, but they may not be right for everyone. Consult your doctor before starting any new diet regimen. If you're just not interested in taking supplements because you have trouble swallowing pills, there are still plenty of ways to get collagen into your diet. For example, adding chicken skin or bone broth to soups or stews will give you some much needed additional nutrients. And don't forget about the other benefits that come with aging! As we age our bones grow stronger, so osteoporosis is less likely to become a problem later on in life. Our hair thins and grays but often gets fuller and silkier as we age too! On top of this, our wisdom and experience grows steadily over time. All things considered, aging isn't always such a bad thing after all! Keep in mind that not every older person has wrinkles and saggy skin. Many people look youthful even when they reach their 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond. While being old might make it harder to recover from surgery or enjoy activities like sports as readily as when you were younger, age brings plenty of opportunities for better relationships and deeper meaning. Consider what I've said here if someone ever tells you you'll feel differently when you hit 40. I'm living proof that this isn't necessarily true. Sure, my skin looks different now than it did 10 years ago, but I am finally feeling free to do whatever makes me happy now instead of feeling like my youth is slipping away from me. When you turn 40 it's a good idea to think about your priorities and evaluate how your actions affect them. For instance, if the pursuit of beauty has been something which weighs heavily on you up until now then maybe focusing on something else would be healthier for both body and soul moving forward?
