You only get one chance to make a first impression. If thats the case, what is the first thing people notice about you? While for some women it may be your shoes but the majority of people will notice your face first and how young and healthy it looks is extremely important.
Most of us are not born with flawless skin. We work hard at it. Its almost like having a part time job for many of us. You need to know which conditioners to use and when to apply them. You need to be aware of what soaps will dry out your skin and which wont. You can easily drive yourself crazy worrying about all of the different things you need to know.
Dont stress yourself out, though. Stress is a leading factor is aging skin and that would kind of defeat the process of getting great looking skin. Here is a list of things we incorrectly believe about our skin.
ul
libMyth: Your skin will look just like your moms/b – It is true, genetics play a role in the size of your pores to its texture and color but that doesnt guarantee youll look like your mom in 30 years. Habit is much more important than genetics. Things like sun exposure, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress, and sleep habits play a much bigger role in the aging of your skin. Not using sunscreen, coping ineffectively with stress, and sleeping on your stomach can all aggravate and create wrinkles, adult acne, or texture changes./li
libMyth: You need a separate sunscreen and moisturizer/b – There are two types of damaging sun rays. There are UVA rays which are responsible for aging the skin, and then there are UVB, which burn your skin. The SPF number of a sunscreen only gives a guide for how much UVB protection the product offers. It doesnt tell you whether or not the product protects from UVA rays which can also cause melanoma./li
libMyth: Cosmetic creams can turn back the hands of time/b – Nothing is ever easy and theres no such thing as a miracle in a bottle. Cosmetic skincare products cannot, by FDA law, include medications that change the structure of the skin. They can, however, temporarily plump up and hydrate your skin. For the best chance at turning back time, see your dermatologist for medications or procedures./li
libMyth: All women over the age of 35 need foundation/b – Foundation ages women. There is no getting around this fact. Foundation settles into fine lines and large pores of your skin, and can give a mask-like finish unless the shade is perfectly matched to your skin. Skip the foundation, and concentrate on getting your skin in fabulous shape so you wont need it./li
libMyth: The bumps you get on your adult skin arent acne/b – True they are not the same pimples you had when you were a teenager, but theyre still acne. Due to the natural decrease in estrogens and an increase in androgens, combined to our stressful lifestyles, we suffer from this common condition of adult acne. You will need a consistent, full-face regimen containing gentle but effective acne fighters like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and sulfur./li
libMyth: Stick only with products that worked for you in the past/b – Aging isnt a fun process. Almost everything on our bodies change including our skin. Staying with the same old skin products doesnt make sense. They stop being effective. Plus, you could also be missing out on new technologies and ingredients that will better suit your current needs./li
