Young skin, the owner of which is a little over 20 years old, is characterized by elasticity. Also, in most cases, enough moisture is retained in the skin of the face. In some cases of hormonal instability in the period up to 25 years, acne may appear, but not in the same amount as in adolescence. Nevertheless, it is at this age that it is better to start taking comprehensive skin care and carefully plan the necessary procedures for the future.

After the age of 25, the processes in the body change and, as a result, the skin of the face begins to lose precious moisture. Therefore, there is a feeling of tightness, wrinkles and a general deterioration in the condition.

As a rule, between the ages of 25 and 30, hormones return to normal and acne practically does not appear in most women.

Closer to the age of 30, the process of moisture loss also continues, and in the absence of proper care, it also increases. Also, a greater number of wrinkles begin to appear, which requires focusing on the fight against them.

For each age period, there are certain rules, the observance of which allows you to prolong the youthfulness of the skin of the face and significantly improve its appearance.

From 20 to 30 years old, you need to consider the following nuances:

• Don't overload your face with makeup. The abundance of decorative products, in addition to polluting the pores, will also make you look older. Long-term wearing of cosmetics can provoke premature aging processes, especially if you use low-quality cosmetics and do not wash them off at night.
• You can't squeeze out pimples. This process is fraught with infection and the appearance of even greater inflammatory processes. Also, scars and scars can remain at the site of acne.

• Try to exclude fast food from the diet, since spicy and fatty foods have a negative effect on the condition of the skin. Eat right, try to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in various vitamins.
• Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Lack of sleep can also provoke premature aging, worsens the general condition of the facial skin, reducing its tone. It is also useful to use a special sleep mask, especially if you like to sleep on your stomach.
• Protect your face from exposure to sunlight from a young age. Be sure to buy special creams after calculating the required SPF filter in advance.

After 25 years, you need to adhere to the following skin care rules:

• Notice if its type has changed, run a test to determine it. After hormonal changes, the face may acquire increased dryness or vice versa - fat content.
• Also, by this age, it is worth deciding on cosmetics, especially with a cream. It is better to use a specific cream for at least a year after reaching the age of 25. If you often change funds, then side effects are not excluded that will worsen the condition of the dermis.
• It is also worth choosing a cream for the area around the eyes, given the presence of all the necessary vitamins in it. Please note that the composition contains vitamin E, acids of floral origin and phytoestrogens.

• The use of a night cream is added to the list of facial treatments. It should be applied immediately before bedtime for a quarter of an hour, then its excess is removed.
• The use of serums will also become a new procedure.

The above rules are designed for an age period from 25 to 27-28 years old, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism. To properly care for your skin at the age of 28-29, it is important to take into account the additional nuances associated with the appearance of wrinkles.

Girls should remember that at different times of the year, various external factors affect the skin of the face, especially from the side of the weather and the environment. After 20 years and even earlier, the person should be protected from such influences.

In summer, the sun is very active, excessive exposure to UV rays on the skin can dehydrate it and provoke premature aging. To protect your face from such exposure, it is recommended to use special sunscreens with SPF. Its indicator can be different - from 15 to 40, a specific figure shows the time during which the cream will protect the face in the open sun. If, without protection, exposure to rays is safe for 25 minutes, then the SPF figure shows how many times this minimum increases.

Therefore, choose a cream based on the length of time you spend outside. Remember that you need to apply it on your face not only when you go to the beach, but also when you just leave the house in sunny weather.

In summer, it is also better to refrain from the peeling procedure, because it is during this period of the year that ultraviolet rays act most intensely, reducing the effectiveness of the procedure.

In winter, the sun is replaced by another influence - the wind. Gusts of cold wind significantly dry the skin of the face, so it needs additional moisture. Use moisturizers not only while at home, but also before going outside. Also, skip vigorous scrubbing and drink more water.

In the autumn and spring seasons, when the skin, like the whole body, often suffers from vitamin deficiency, it is necessary to introduce the use of face serums. They are applied a couple of times a day under a night or day cream and penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis. Also, these seasons are most favorable for peeling, since the sun does not act as aggressively, and at the same time there is no strong wind, as in the winter season.

To take care of the skin of the face correctly, it is necessary to use an integrated approach, which consists of three stages: cleansing, toning procedures, and moisturizing the skin. They are all based on general principles, but the procedure itself is different for different age periods.

In the period up to 25 years old, you should use foams for cleansing, as well as special gels if you are the owner of skin with high oily content. In this case, these funds must be used regularly, and preferably twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. If your skin is prone to dryness, then choose cleansers with a creamy or oily texture. Avoid using soap, which in most cases tightens the face and sometimes even leads to flaking. It is most optimal for young girls to carry out the procedure in two stages.

First, you need to completely rid your face of makeup, especially if you are actively using foundation and sunscreen. Hydrophilic oil will help you with this. It is applied to the face with massage movements and gently washed off with warm water without splashing it on the face. In the process of rinsing, the product acquires a foamy texture and completely removes traces of make-up.

At the second stage, you should wash your face using foam, gel or soap with a creamy texture. A couple of times a week, in addition to foaming agents, you can also use formulations with abrasive particles that exfoliate all dead cells and help to further cleanse the pores. The most common products for these purposes are scrubs. Owners of oily skin types are advised to pay attention to the presence of acids in their compositions, which additionally help to eliminate acne and other imperfections. But it is not recommended for young girls to get rid of keratinized particles with the help of peeling, since their skin is quite capable of recovering on its own after scrubbing.

Young ladies often neglect such an important step as toning., although it is he who allows you to moisturize and restore the balance of the skin after cleansing procedures. After using the scrub, the skin is particularly stressed, especially if it is sensitive. Various alcohol-free toners that are applied with a cotton pad restore the balance in the cells and also remove redness.

Even if between the ages of 20 and 25 the skin may look quite healthy and elastic, this does not mean that moisturizing procedures should be neglected. They are the application of a cream to the face, which not only maintains moisture balance, but also supplies the skin with the necessary nutrients.It is very important to consider the type of skin, as depending on it, the hydration can be light or intense.

For a dry type, it is better to choose such creams that will maximize the necessary supply of moisture., remove flaking and give elasticity. For combination skin, formulations with a medium texture are suitable. Those with a greasy finish should opt for a light textured product that has the added function of removing shine. If you have a problematic skin type, use the cream with caution, but rather choose the option that suits you individually for you, in consultation with a specialist.

Over the age of 25, it is recommended to completely abandon the use of soap for washing. In addition to cleansing gels and scrubs to suit your skin type, you can also try exfoliation. It can be most effectively carried out in beauty salons, while special formulations of deep action are applied to the face and then removed along with dead skin cells. Make-up after 25 years old is removed using products that delicately affect various parts of the face, especially the skin around the eyes.

Toning should be done with special lotions or tonics. They should also be free of alcohol. In this case, it is desirable that the basis of the remedy was an extract of medicinal herbs.

Pay special attention to moisturizing treatments. It is important to select creams that take into account age-related changes in the skin and enrich it with all the necessary substances. After 25 years, the composition of the funds should include vitamins P, A, C, E, which help to reduce age signs and are excellent antioxidants. It is also worth paying attention to the acids contained in creams.

For the area around the eyes, it is worth purchasing a separate cream, since after 25 years it is important to pay special attention to this particular area of ​​the face. Expression wrinkles become noticeable, and a regular cream does not allow them to be smoothed out, as well as to eliminate swelling and bruising the way a cream for the area around the eyes can. You need to use it a couple of times a day immediately after cleansing procedures.

Many ladies prefer to independently engage in procedures for toning, rejuvenating and moisturizing the skin at home. For this case, there are many recipes that allow girls over 20 years old to take care of their skin with their own hands. The most effective masks are for all skin types.
