10 Practical Skin Care Tips For The Twenty Something Woman

Here are the 10 practical skin care tips for the twenty something woman as shared by skin expert, Dr. Debra Jaliman.

10. Got acne? See a dermatologist. While over-the-counter products are easy to find, sometimes it’s best to see a professional in order to keep acne scarring to a minimum. “If you start to get scars, they’re harder to get rid of than they are to prevent,” Dr. Jaliman says.

9. Avoid smoking at all costs. It restricts the blood supply to the skin, making aging more obvious, and each time you inhale, you’re causing wrinkles around your lips.

8. Don’t cross your legs. Try not to cross your legs. If you must stand for long periods of time, move weight from side to side. And try wearing support stockings on an airplane.

7. The A in antiaging stands for antioxidants. While you’re in your 20s, get in the habit of noshing on berries, beans, and dark chocolate.

6. Eye cream really is worth buying. By your mid-20s, find an eye cream that will restore moisture to that area and ward off crow’s-feet. Sunglasses that protect against UV rays are also a must have for your beach days.

5. Drinking from a straw does cause wrinkles. “Any kind of repetitive muscle movement will cause wrinkles,” admits Dr. Jaliman. “Smile every day and you get a smile line, or if you frown you’re going to get a frown line, but what are you going to do? You can’t stand like a mummy!” This problem is easily solved by using a retinol at night around the mouth and on the forehead.

4. Don’t skip the neck (and hands). “A lot of times I see people with a young-looking face and old-looking hands and neck,” explained Dr. Jaliman. “Those three areas are chronically sun exposed, so whatever you do for your face you also want to do to your hands and neck.”

3. Skipping sunscreen is the biggest mistake you ever made. You’ll want to get in the habit of wearing SPF 30 every day.

2. Even if you are using antiaging, you’re still aging. Here’s some bad news: “We’re losing everything as we age, unfortunately, so there is no way out of it,” says Dr. Jaliman.

1. It’s never too early to start antiaging. The first step is using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which will protect you against aging caused by the sun’s UV rays.

Taking care of your skin now is something you will never regret dong in the future. It’s the only way you can look naturally awesome in the years to come.
