For women over 40, your goal may be to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This is the time when eliminating beautiful but ineffective skincare products becomes even more important. There are 5 skincare mistakes you may make that can cause your skin to age.
Not applying enough sunscreen
Whether it’s sunny or not, you still need to apply enough sunscreen. According to many experts, this means applying sunscreen the size of a coin to your face, then gently patting instead of rubbing to ensure better protection for your skin. Pay attention to the often neglected areas such as the earlobes, along the jawline, or just above the lips. And remember to apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every day, even in winter.
Not using Retinoids
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that helps boost collagen production and truly eliminate discoloration and some wrinkles while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. There are many serums and moisturizers at the drugstore that contain milder forms of retinol.
Start using it at a younger age to help combat the signs of aging (prevention is always easier than treatment). It’s also important to invest in a quality moisturizer that you can apply at night after retinol, as this ingredient is known to be drying and can be irritating on many skin types.
Not being consistent
Consistency is key, and if you switch from one product to another and abandon ingredients, you won’t give them enough time to help produce new collagen or promote a healthy skin barrier. If a product doesn’t irritate your skin and everything else agrees with it, stick with it – especially if it’s a well-known effective ingredient like retinol or vitamin C.
Trying too many new products
This mistake is a common one as we see many advertisements for various skincare products. If you use too many new products and start using them all at once, you risk irritating your skin and, worse, not knowing which product among them is the culprit. A better approach if you want to try a few new ingredients is to introduce one product at a time and observe how your skin absorbs it over time.
Using too many good ingredients
Cleansers and serums can contain exfoliating agents like lactic acid or glycolic acid, so using a physical or traditional chemical exfoliant before or after using those substances should be incorporated into your routine. The result can be an excessive exfoliation, signs of which include drier, flakier skin.
Reading the ingredient labels on your skincare products is the best way to learn what to use when to avoid over-exfoliating or adding too many of one ingredient.
