I have a fair complexion with combination skin. I'm 38 years old, but don't really have any wrinkles yet, but I do breakout once in a while on my forehead and chin.
What's the best advice or products would best for my skin to keep it looking good and prevent aging or breakouts.
I like natural products and would be grateful if you can recommend any. Should I start face exercises yet?
Thanks,
Sonja
Hello Sajni,
Thank you for your email regarding basic skin care tips. Except for the occasional breakouts on your forehead, lip, nose, and chin....it sounds like your complexion is pretty normal.
Do you exfoliate your skin? Either through scrubbing facials or with fruit acids (like alpha /beta hydroxy acids?).
Exfoliation is an important step in skin care especially after a certain age because the skin loses the ability to shed dead cells thoroughly and as often as it once did.
This leads to a number of problems such as clogged pores, breakouts, dull looking skin, uneven moisture balance (i.e. dry in some places and oily in others), and a reduced capacity to absorb moisturizers or other skin care products that you use.
Hydroxy acids serve two purpose - they help loosen what some people call the "glue" between dead cells making them easier to shed. Also, they can help minimize fine lines and bring more clarity to the skin.
So, if you don't already do this, I highly recommend you start exfoliating.
The other two steps of course is to wash and hydrate.
A lot of people get into trouble here because they use cleansers and moisturizers that are either too harsh or contain too many artificial ingredients and cheap oils.
These facial products can disrupts the skin’s pH balance and damages the acid mantel (the protective upper layer of the skin that is needed to keep it healthy).
There are so many products on the market and some have very good advertising campaigns - so it's easy to see
