Something you might notice as you get older is that your skin will change. Although teenagers tend to agonize about oily skin and the occasional zit, these problems won\u2019t magically clear up as you age – and the problem is that your skin also loses a little firmness too, meaning that you\u2019re more susceptible to wrinkles.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Short of surgical options, there\u2019s very little that you can really do to halt the signs of ageing – but there are definitely a few things you can do to make sure that you look your best no matter how old you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

START AT AN EARLY AGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, this is easier said than done – but if you\u2019re in your twenties or <\/span>thirties<\/span><\/a>, now is the time to get into a good skincare routine. It\u2019s important that you <\/span>remove<\/span><\/a> all your makeup before you go to bed, even those pesky black threads of waterproof mascara, and that you fully cleanse, tone and moisturize your face every night. A lot of people use a serum before they go to sleep at night and before they put on their makeup on in the morning, which is a great idea – they often contain anti ageing properties that aren\u2019t found in cleansers, toners and moisturisers. Day serums contain anti oxidants to protect your skin and night serums will help your skin to repair itself as you sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBER TO HYDRATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hydration is always incredibly important, and gets even more so as you age. Your skin is an organ, meaning that dehydration can really affect it – no one\u2019s saying that drinking more water will immediately flush your system out and heal all your zits and areas of discoloration but it will definitely help your face to look brighter and a lot fuller. You should also make sure that you use a hydrating mask as often as you can – <\/span>sheet masks<\/span><\/a> are particularly effective. Make sure that you massage the serum into your face and neck afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

TREAT YOUR SPECIFIC ISSUES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure that you follow your own skincare routine and not a prescribed one that you\u2019ve seen online or in a magazine. Everyone has their own issues with their skin, whether it\u2019s big pores, flaky sore patches, or discoloration that often tends to happen as you get older. If you have big pores, splash your face with cold water after cleansing to help close them, if you have flaky patches then make sure you use an intensely soothing moisturiser, and if you have patches of discoloration there are <\/span>ways to treat hyperpigmentation skin<\/span><\/a> that you can look up online. Try using a concealer to disguise them gently and blend carefully. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally it\u2019s important to protect yourself from the sun. Not only can this prevent you from getting skin cancer but protecting your face will also help you look younger for longer – go for sunglasses as well to protect your eyes and stop you getting wrinkles after screwing up your eyes when you\u2019re in direct sunlight. Get a high factor sunscreen and apply it every morning, summer and winter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
