No amount of makeup can cover up the damage if you are not taking proper care of your skin.

Oiliness, dryness, blackheads, rough spots, and redness are all the result of poor skin care. Of course, hormones, diet and exercise also have an effect, but nothing can replace conscious attention to taking care of your skin.

As a woman in her 40s, who rarely wears makeup and regularly attracts men in their 20s and 30s, who can’t believe my real age, I can assure you that there is magic in taking proper care of your skin!

First and foremost, be aware of your skin. If it feels tight, or either dry or oily to the touch, you need to take action. One great product to consider is Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel

Do you drink enough water?

Hydration is absolutely essential – you must give your body enough water in the first place, and then protect your skin from moisture loss with a good moisturizing cream. You can consider Cellex C High Potency Serum as one alternative.

You must drink alot of water everyday, between 4 and 8 glasses of it. If you’re not in the habit, give yourself some time to change your water drinking habits a little bit every day.

Once you have the right stuff happening on the inside, you will find that you start to look younger and healthier almost immediately.

It is especially important to cleanse if you have oily skin or are prone to blemishes, but all skin types can benefit from regular cleansing. Harsh cleansers are not recommended – if your skin feels tight and strained after cleansing, you need a gentler cleanser.

Try and find a toner that does not contain alcohol (unless your skin is very oily) – alcohol is very drying and can bother your skin. Read the ingredients list carefully, and make sure that there is no ingredient with a chemical name ending in “ol”.

For those looking for that tanned look, consider Clarins Radiance Plus Self Tanning Cream Gel.

And last, make sure your moisturizer is of very high quality, preferably one with a sunscreen, for use during the day, and a deep moisturizing night cream. Night creams will often contain Vitamin A, which helps your skin to recover from the day’s damage. Vitamin A makes your skin more susceptible to the sun, which is why it is only included in night creams. It goes without saying, your night cream is only meant to be used at night!
