A generation of skin care

The whole point of purchasing nourishing serums and creams is because we want to achive healthier happier skin, the product can't do it's job if there is congestion and debris in the cells. Further to this, skin needs to be clean and fresh in order to serve it's purpose to protect us from environmental hazards that contribute to premature ageing, damage and uneven skin tones.

Cleansing benefits everyone but especially anyone prone to breakouts (hormonal or otherwise) and anyone who is exposed to particles that can clog their pores such as makeup or environmental/employment factors. Introducing serums and creams that compliment the refreshed skin and permeate the cells will be the difference between prolonging the health of hair, nails and skin. 

Age timeline characteristics:

• Adolescent- 10-19 (skin care is usually bare minimum or only for cleaning and less likely to commence a serum)
  
  
• Early Adulthood- 22-30 (commencing skin care regimes to help maintain skin and less interested in antiaging serums)
  
  
• Early Middle Age 30-40 (this is where most experiments with antiaging skin care begin)
  
  
• Late Middle Age- 45-65 (where most solid and consistent preference for skin care occurs)
  
  
• Late Adulthood or also referred to as Mature age -65 and older (where more robust and hydrating skin care is required to fortify the skin integrity)

Skin types:

• All Genders- whilst hormones can create skin issues there isnt really cause for blaming gender on skin because anyone can experience all of the above regardless. In this day a
  
  
• Sensitive skin- has quick and acute reactions to a substance either due to internal health issues or vulnerable, dry and thinned skin areas. 
  
  
• Oily Skin- excess build up of oils on the skin surface more so to the forehead, nose, and chin (also referred to as the T-Zone) are more prone to oiliness, including along the hairline.
  
  
• Dry Skin- skin that cannot hold or retain moisture well without assistance from products and skin care or is overly exposed to the elements without any protective barrier. This can also occur from an internal health issue such as with some medications and organ dysfunction. 
  
  
• Combination Skin- mix between oily and dry in the same small area
  
  
• Mature skin- less fatty tissue under the skin surface, darkened and discolored areas from sun exposure, often some scar tissue and or broad/widened pores. Thinner but not necessarily softer, lower level of immunity and more prone to reactions or sensitivities. 

Getting into good skin care routine habits in the adolescent age group is the best way to create the platform for including skin as a priority in wellness. Early middle age is the time to truly shine as you begin to decrease the risk of premature ageing and strengthen your skin integrity ahead of the next phase of life. Mature age is when routine changes to address the natural ageing process of skin itself.
