Everybody has three ages: there’s how old you are, how old you act and how old you look.
Sun exposure, diet, hormones and smoking can add years to your appearance.
The dark pigmentation our skin develops with exposure to either the sun or a solarium is actually a sign of skin damage. Age spots and freckles are permanent alterations to our skin’s appearance. But the sun isn’t the only enemy. Some people also experience specific skin conditions such as acne, rosacea (redness) or psoriasis that can alter the texture and pigmentation of their skin.
The four commandments of skincare
To keep your skin fresh and glowing, remember these four basic rules.
- Cleanse your skin daily to remove excess oils and grime.
- Exfoliate regularly to keep your skin smooth as its natural exfoliation slows down over time.
- Moisturize daily to keep your skin hydrated.
- Protect your skin from the sun.
