Skin At Every Age

Skin in its 20’s

Skin is plump, producing an adequate amount of oil and collagen
Cell turnover is healthy, occurring around every 14-25 days
Now is the time to establish a consistent regime to control oil, maintain healthy skin and protect from future damage
There may be oiliness, breakouts and fine lines around eye area
Skin is an excellent record keeper. Sunbathing, smoking, late nights and cocktails will show up on your skin 10 years from now

Skin in its 30’s

Cell turnover slows to 30 days leading to dehydration and dull skin (dryness)
Fine lines on the eye area may be visible
Signs of post-sun damage skin may begin to surface, including lines, uneven pigmentation and brown spots

Skincare regimes should focus on correcting and protecting
