Pampering Your Skin after 50 Can Provide Youthful Results

As we age our skin ages with us – sometimes at a more rapid rate – if we do not take care of it and ensure that it is nurtured and properly protected. With constant exposure to environmental stressors as well as harmful UV sun rays the skin can rapidly lose its youthful look because it cannot keep itself replenished without help from you. Along with these outside influences, our hormonal changes cause our skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness so that it is no longer as firm and taut as we would like it to be.

After 50, it is especially important to provide anti aging skin care particularly to the face to ensure that you keep that vibrant youthful radiance as long as possible. There are ways to keep your skin healthier and younger that do not take a lot of effort on your part and yet can do a world of good towards keeping that youthful appearance. Pampering your skin is all about taking care of it. Here are a few important ways that you can pamper yourself at home as part of your daily skin care regimen.

  • Cleansing your skin is one of the most basic yet most critical steps in keeping your skin looking and feeling more youthful. Always use a cleanser that will not dehydrate the skin but rather use one that will replenish and moisturize the skin. If your skin is sensitive or tends to be prone to Rosacea or acne and blemishes then you should use a cleanser that is made especially for these types of skin. Likewise, if your skin is oily, you should use a cleanser that will balance the skin and keep it hydrated and keep the oil under control. Gentle cleansers are best so that they do not irritate already sensitive or skin prone to redness.
  • Exfoliationof the skin is one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy and should be done on a regular basis as part of your skin care regimen. Exfoliation will remove sebum and dead skin cells and reduce large pores that are often clogged with debris. This process is very important for those who have acne or tend to have blemishes as it will keep the skin healthier and help to combat these skin issues. For sensitive skin types you should use a gentle exfoliate so as not to further irritate the skin. There are facial scrubs as well as body scrubs that should be used regularly.
  • Protection for the Skin is extremely important as the UVA and UVB sun’s rays are very harmful to the skin and cause premature aging as well as hyper-pigmentation and other skin conditions including cancer. An SPF 15 or higher sunscreen is essential to your skin care regimen and should be applied before exposure to the sun. It should also be reapplied as necessary throughout the day depending on your activities.
  • Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! As we age our skin tends to become dry and more sensitive especially during menopause. Moisturizer is an essential for your face as well as your body to ensure that your skin is constantly nourished and replenished. Dry skin can become itchy and irritated and red and is not attractive – either on the face or on your hands or feet. Sometimes it is not just the stress or weather that might be causing the dry skin. Perhaps it is your soap or some other product - so switch to a gentle one and see if that makes a difference. Using a good moisturizer twice daily will smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that are visible signs of aging that can be avoided by keeping your skin hydrated at all times and will ensure that your skin is always replenished.

Pampering your skin is the best way that you can keep it looking attractive with a smoother softer texture that will leave you with a youthful glow. You can try wrinkle creams and other special products that are designed for anti aging to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes - along with the four pampering tips for younger skin after 50: cleansing, exfoliation, protection and moisturize.
