When I was young, we had skin care creams, but they were a far cry from the anti-wrinkle skin care creams of today. This new nano-technology with ingredient molecules small enough to penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin re-growth is a real innovation.
The simple truth about skin care is if you want to have a good complexion like people tell me I have, you have to learn to look after your skin right from the start, and always keep maintaining it.
Any woman who uses makeup including mascara should learn and follow the three golden rules Cleanse! Tone! Moisturize! Doing this every night before bed will give you the best chance of avoiding deep wrinkles as you age. Young men should cleanse then use a night cream moisturizer.
So - the procedure is simple - First thoroughly wash and clean your skin to get the dirt out of your pores. Next tone with an astringent cream or liquid to prepare the skin. Finally apply a good quality natural anti-aging, anti wrinkle night moisturizing cream into your pores.
In the morning, wash and clean your skin again, then apply a natural anti-wrinkle day skin cream moisturizer before applying any other makeup.
So what happens if you don't remove makeup and follow this procedure? The makeup will clog and dry the oils in the pore; it won't breath. If the makeup contains any unwanted ingredients like mineral oils, parabens or harsh chemicals they will sit in the pore all night.
When teenage girls decide to start using makeup, they should implement a nightly routine. Young men, who decide to look after their skin should also start young, follow the same procedure as the girls except for the makeup.
Now lets face it - You can't take this advice too literally, but the principle is sound. There are millions of people with different skin types and issues to contend with. Skinny people's skin tends to wrinkle more than plumper people. If you work outside all day your skin will dry out more because of sun and wind damage. If you smoke, drink too much alcohol or take prescription drugs daily it can affect your skin. The point is everyone's skin reacts differently to every day living issues.
Finally, the choice as always is yours. However, if you put in a little effort now while your young, and get into a daily skin care routine. You will reap the benefits of having a better complexion with nice smooth youthful looking skin and less wrinkles throughout your life, especially after you turn fifty years old and beyond.
