Careful and faithful skin care is important at any age, especially for women. Women's skin is thinner and more fragile than men's skin at all stages of life, but as women age the fragility of their skin increases steadily. With proper care, however, you can improve the tone and strength of your skin and keep it looking and feeling younger for many years.
The best skin care products not only cleanse and moisturize your skin, but nourish and protect it as well. Today's products come in a variety of types that are sometimes called "cosmoceuticals," or cosmetic pharmaceuticals that combine the qualities of both a more traditional moisturizer or makeup with recent pharmaceutical developments in skin restructuring and enhancement.
There are plenty of reasons to develop a skin care regimen using some of these products, but let's take a look at the five most important reasons:
1. You Can't Stop the Elements
No matter where you work or what you do, your skin is exposed to the elements, including harsh winds, drying sunshine and a host of other environmental factors that you can't control. Even if you work in an office and don't see a lot of the sun, your skin will be affected by the dry air found in most office buildings and various other contaminants like air pollution and irritants like allergens.
2. Age and Menopause Both Damage Skin
As we age our skin loses some of its elasticity due to simple aging. The cells and collagen in the skin break down more rapidly than new ones are formed and the dead skin cells can stay on the surface of the skin. These clumps of dead skin can pile up and lead to rough, uneven skin and blotchiness and acne flare-ups. Menopause increases this problem as collagen levels drop. Using anti-aging creams can restore elasticity and help boost collagen production.
3. You Can Help Prevent Skin Cancer with Proper Care
Skin cancer has become more and more common in the last few decades, due partly to excessive sun exposure. In fact, many women today are still being affected by the trauma they put it through when they were younger and spent hours each day sun-worshipping. The good news is that you can reduce the risk future skin cancer problems by using sun screen every day and keeping your skin supple and moisturized so that it is a more effective barrier.
4. A Skin Care Regimen Improves Skin's Appearance
We mentioned earlier that skin can become weakened and damaged by aging, but let's face it - one of the things that is most important to women is making sure their skin stays young looking.
The blotchiness and roughness of older skin can add years to your appearance. Age spots, in fact, are caused by sun exposure and uneven exfoliating of skin. Periodically exfoliating will expose fresher, smoother skin and increase the rate at which your skin replenishes itself with new cells. Moisturizing keeps skin smooth and dewy so that you look and feel younger.
5. Adult Acne Can be A Problem
Acne isn't just the scourge of teens anymore. Today many women in their thirties and forties develop adult acne. Left untreated, adult acne can lead to discoloration and permanent scarring. To prevent adult acne, a proper skin cleansing routine is imperative. Wearing makeup clogs pores and can lead to acne - without proper deep cleansing, makeup that clogs pores will cause acne that not only looks unattractive, but can become permanent problems, since adult skin doesn't heal as readily as young skin.
The next time you're tempted to skin a good skin care program that combines the best anti-aging and skin cleansing products, remember these five reasons. The five minutes it takes to care for your skin properly will seem a wise investment!
