As we begin to age our skin slowly loses its moisture and elasticity, making our complexion less radiant. Every age brings along it’s own problems, but fear not, there are many effective skin treatments that can help fight these problems at different stages of your life.

Your skin in your twenties is likely to be at its best. Drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, exercising regularly, following a good skin care routine and eating healthy will ensure that your skin glows throughout your twenties. This will also ensure that the damage caused to skin by pollution, sun, and time is reduced.

Thing you can do:

• A deep cleansing treatment can be done every five weeks and is highly suited for those with oily skin. The skin gets nourished in using masks containing Evening Primrose and Rosemary Leaf Oil.
• A combination of treatments, such as Obagi Medical, along with a home care routine is prescribed to reduce acne, at regular intervals.
• Rain or shine, never, never, leave the house without sunscreen.
• No matter how tired you are, be sure to remove your makeup before going to bed. Makeup can clog pores and interfere with your skins rejuvenation process that occurs while you sleep.
• If you are prone to breakouts choose an oil-free moisturizer instead.

Your skin in your thirties begins to show the first signs of aging when the skin around the eyes, mouth, and neck area starts changing. After 30, the skin’s natural process of exercise slows down and the natural fibers decrease. More water is lost which leads to drying, and decreases the skin’s natural protection barrier. If you’re starting to notice fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration, it’s time to take a good look at how you’re caring for your skin.

Things you can do:

• Along with daily sunscreen, your skin needs extra moisture, as it tends to get drier as we age. Consider using a richer moisturizer before applying your sunscreen each morning.
• To fight damage due to pollution, sun, and stress, use a cream rich in ingredients to regenerate the skin while you sleep.
• Protect the soft skin around the eye area by using a treatment gel or cream that helps to fight wrinkles, and tighten skin while moisturizing this delicate area. Try ELASTiderm from Obagi, a topical eye treatment that stimulates collagen synthesis while hydrating the skin.
• A good time to consult a physician for advice on skin care is in your thirties. Skin specialists have access to a variety of treatments to help reduce, or eliminate the signs of aging, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

• Collagen facials can help accelerating the skin regeneration.
• As one grows older, the muscles of the face and neck begin to sag and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear. Cutera offers non-surgical face-lifting procedures, and resurfacing procedures that are performed on the skin to tighten, and help to look younger. All are amazing.
• Using paraffin wax to maintain the hydration and suppleness of the skin, which will in turn, ensure softening the skin.
• And last, Using a night cream for the face and eyes will help renew, and replenish your skin while you sleep.
• The same apply’s to skin care in your 50s’, 60s’, and older.

Does anyone ever really tire of seeing another gorgeous smoky eye? I know I don’t, but I am smoky eye obsessed, and every time I see another great look, I am off to the bathroom to try on myself. Smoky eyes in pastels will be strong this spring, and with so many options available, creating them will be easier than ever.

That is the real fun behind creating smoky eyes, since they look good in so many different color combination’s. Blues, pastels, purples, and sea tones all do the job quite nicely.

Make sure to apply the color along the upper and lower lashline and blend into the crease using a sweeping motion with your brush. For a more dramatic look you can extend the color the length of your brow as seen here.

INSIDER TRICK: When using loose shimmer shadows to create this look make sure to tap off your brush before applying the color. This will ensure that you don’t add too much, and allow you to build the color.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I am checking out celebrities on the red carpet I always notice the ones whose skin is glowing. The ones whose dewy complexions are planted on all the front pages, and the ones who obsess over their skin as much as I do.

If you’re interested in getting this look, here are some simple and easy steps to follow.

A good hydrating mask is a great way to begin. It will prep your skin, remove any dry patches, and is essential to achieving a beautiful glow. Next, you will want to apply some moisturizer, before covering up any blemishes. Either a concealer stick, or liquid will do, but using a concealer brush will give you the perfect application.

Next, using either a foundation brush, or sponge, apply a touch of foundation, but only where your complexion needs it. This is only to even out your skin tone before the next step.

Once this is done, take your bronzing powder and apply wherever the sun hits your face, ie; your cheekbones, bridge of nose, chin and forehead. Next, add either a rosy or peach tone blush to the apples of your cheeks to make them pop, and finish the look. I usually like to add a touch of loose mineral powder with a brush and lightly go over to soften any lines. A cream bronzer and blush work really beautifully too.
