Mature Skin Care

September 30th, 2009

Good news: With the right care, skin that’s late-thirty-something, forty-something or even beyond can look more youthful. Even better, much of the damage we associate with aging skin-roughness, blotches, brown spots, wrinkling-is causes not by the passing of the years but by unprotected exposure to the sun. Translation: A lot of age-related skin damage is preventable.
As you approach midlife, your skin care routine should center on preventing further sun damage and replenishing the moisture young skin has naturally. But it’s also wise to rethink skin care habits you’ve been following for years: You may need to replace an oily skin routine with one for dry skin or intensify the dry skin routine you already follow.
As you will see, gentle care, a daily dose of sunscreen and the right makeup can go a long way toward restoring a woman’s youthful appearance. And if you so desire, a dermatologist can offer even more rejuvenating skin treatments.
No need to buy expensive products that may not live up to their promises. Following these few simple steps can help keep your complexion fresh and lovely.
Cleanse gently. If your formerly oily skin now feels a little dry, switch from a soap, which can be harsh, to a gentle soap-free cleanser formulated for dry skin. Try superfatted bars (beauty bars), or soap free liquid cleansers for dry skin. If your skin is extremely dry, try a tissue-off cleansing cream-the oiliest cleanser of all.
Uncover fresh skin. Exfoliating, or sloughing off dull, dead cells from the surface of your skin, reveals the new, fresh skin beneath. The best way to exfoliate mature skin, says experts, is with Retin-A, the prescription vitamin A cream that unglues dead surface skin cells and stimulates the skin’s production of collagen, the stuff that keeps skin firm and supple.
Never exfoliate with abrasive pads or grainy cleansers. Using these products can dilate the blood vessels in your face. Over time, these vessels will stay dilated, causing reddened, irritated, blotchy skin.
Nourish skin with moisture. Skin produces less oil as we get older. How much oil it produces varies from person to person. Since oil keeps skin soft and supple, locking in your skin’s moisture may be your biggest skin care challenge.
It’s recommended using a light, water-based moisturizer for daytime under makeup, and a heavier, oil-based product, or even plain petroleum jelly before bed.

Aloe Vera Skin Care Product Review

November 21st, 2008

Usually when I post new articles to my blog, I do a lot of research for the information that I bring to you. I decided to do it a little different this time and let you in on a conversation I had with my brother about skin care. Yes, my brother, can you believe that! Who knew?

Although I’m close to my brother, in all these years we have never talked about skin care. Now, if it was a sister, I’m sure it would have been different. Anyway getting back to this conversation we had, I was very surprised in finding out that he is very much into the whole skin care thing. He spends a lot of money on products that he uses daily and ones he applies a few times a week.

It got me thinking, what is he buying and what are the ingredients of these products. He read all the ingredients of all the products he uses. I have to admit that I was impressed by his choices. All the ingredients were excellent. They contained all the right things you need for your skin, such as aloe Vera, jojoba oil, all kinds of extracts, natural ingredients,etc.

All these products are great for topical skin care use. They will definitely be nourishing to the skin. However, I did tell him that in order for skin products to really be effective you have to get them to the dermis of the skin. The only way to do this is by some kind of current. This is where my favorite product comes in. The Galvanic Spa System can do just that. By using adjustable current it drives the gels deep into the inner layers of the skin to really help with fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and so much more.

He was surprised that I had such a product and never mentioned it to him. I was equally surprised that he would have even been interested in it. He was very excited to give it a try, but before he made his purchase, I encouraged him to read my page about the Galvanic Spa. After doing so, he was even more excited about it.

Needless to say, he is hooked! He continues to use his skin care products along with the spa (not that you have to) just because I think it makes him feel better. My suggestion to you is to check out what this little hand held gem can do for you and make your own purchase and look and feel 10 plus years younger instantly!

Right now I’m offering a $60.00 savings for a limited time only. So head on over and see for yourself. Find out about some amazing results others have achieved in using the Galvanic Spa System!
