SKIN CARE BY THE EXPERTS

Skin is the body's largest organ and is made up of water, fats, proteins and minerals so it's important to treat it kindly. Maintaining it by offering it the nutrients it needs, will keep it in optimum condition.

Treating your skin well, will ensure it rewards you, by ensuring you stay looking youthful and unlined through the years.

Skincare needs will change as your skin matures, so our experts at Forever Young can help to advise you how to look after it, at every stage of the skin's life cycle.

Caring for your skin in your 20's

The first stage of the life cycle is about maintaining it to avoid breakouts and blemishes and protecting it for your later years.

Cleanse & Tone - A good cleanser & toner combo will ensure that the skin stays in top condition and reduces breakouts!

A cleanser removes impurities from pores such as dirt, oil and dead skin cells, whilst a toner will neutralise the PH levels to add hydration and even out the skin tone after cleansing.

Fortify - Vitamin B is a powerhouse that helps fortify the middle skin barrier, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, keeping skin glowing and healthy!

Protect - We all love a fresh tan, but not at the cost of aging! Use SPF to protect skin from exposure and promote healthy skin, reducing weathered & tired looking skin in your later years.

Product recommendation: Try our Cucumber Cleansing Milk for blemish-free, glowing skin with a baby soft finish.

Caring for your skin in your 30's

It’s all about adding more advanced products to your routine, that reduce the signs of premature aging!

Cleanse & Tone - Ensuring you continue your skin routine is even more important in this stage. A cleanser is vital when pores tend to build up more readily, skin is more oily and hormones make PH levels spike, making a toner, a valuable part of your routine.

Introduce Retinol! – Retinol is Vitamin A and empowering yourself to introduce it to your skin routine will stimulate collagen and speed up the rejuvenation process.

Shedding dead skin cells faster will bring forth new ones, to keep the skin’s dewy glow.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) & Antioxidant Serums - AHA evens out the skins natural skin tone, preventing dullness & reducing dark spots.

Whilst antioxidants have long been advised to counteract the sun damage that has been done to skin in youth.

Protection – Using SPF protection is still hugely important in all stages of the skins life cycle.

Product recommendation: Try our Luxurious Anti Aging Night Cream that will soak into the multiple layers of the skin for an overnight treatment, that will hydrate the pores to target dry skin areas and offer a dewy complexion in the morning.

Caring For your skin after 40

This stage is keeping up with the good work & focusing on the eyes!

Cleanse & Tone – Having your daily skincare routine should come as naturally as breathing at this point but ensuring you have a GENTLE cleanser and a good toner duo, is very important now.

Skin at this stage of the cycle needs all the moisture that it can retain, to promote elasticity and avoid fine lines and wrinkles.

Using a specifically light cleanser will infuse hydration rather than removing it, by using a good quality toner as a bonus, this will work to even out your skin tone, leaving you a naturally smooth finish.

Retinol, Retinol and more Retinol!

Ensuring higher doses of the Vitamin A will stimulate even higher levels of collagen and promote new skin cells that will replace those that have gone old and make skin appear flaky.

Protect- SPF as with previous life stages. Ultimate protection for exposure is key.

Product recommendation: Try our Stem Cell Anti Wrinkle Cream to replenish damaged skin cells and reduce the lines on the face, offering visibly smoother and a more youthful skin tone.

Top Takeaway Tips!

Investigate your skin type and have an established skincare routine that works for you.
Never leave make up on over night. Your pores need time to breathe and recover from all that make up coverage.
Use natural products where you can, to reduce increased blemishes and breakouts.
Use SPF protection to protect the skin from sun damage, but be aware that sometimes SPF can cause reactions to sensitive skin ....so always do a patch test beforehand.
