Anti-Aging Skin Care for Your 20s
If you’re in your mid to late 20s and starting to see the first faint lines around your eyes, don’t panic. This is normal. Your 20s isn’t time to panic; it’s time to prevent. Getting a few light eye wrinkles and fine lines on your forehead is not uncommon in your mid to late 20s. However, this is the best time to develop good skin care habits to stave off premature wrinkles. In your 20s, you lay the groundwork for what your skin will look like in the future.
So what can you do? The single most important thing you can do now to prevent premature eye wrinkles is wear sunscreen of spf 15 or higher every day. I promise you that prolonged sun exposure without wearing sunscreen will come back to haunt you later in life in the form of wrinkles, rough texture and dark splotches. If you’ve already had significant sun exposure - say, if you were a teen tanning salon junkie who couldn’t imagine life past graduation - there’s still hope. Research has shown that wearing sunscreen now can allow the skin to heal some of the damage that has already been done.
Another thing you can do is to look for skin care products and eye wrinkle creams that contain antioxidants. These wrinkle fighting ingredients can help prevent damage caused by the stress, the sun and pollution. Antioxidants to look for include retinoids/retinal (vitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and tocopherol (vitamin E).
I think some of the best products for this age group is the Neutrogena Antioxidant Age Reverse line. It hydrates, repairs and protects at the same time.
Use Neutrogena AntiOxidant Age Reverse Day Lotion SPF 20 during the day to protect and prevent, and Neutrogena AntiOxidant Age Reverse Night Cream
at night to speed up the skin’s healing process.
For your eye area, try using Neutrogena Ageless Restoratives Energy Renewal Eye Cream twice a day before you apply your day or night moisturizer.
