Skin care in different age groups

It is well known that pimples break out during puberty. This is because there is a change in the hormone balance, which also causes increased sebum production. However, if facial care and cleansing are not carried out properly, the sebaceous glands become clogged very quickly and inflammation and pimples appear.

Therefore, the face should be washed once in the morning and once in the evening with water and a facial cleansing skin care product. For the acute case of blackheads, there are over-the-counter products from numerous brands that are suitable for selective application. Squeezing out spots is usually rather counterproductive, as the skin quickly scars and craters can form.

If the impurities do not disappear through regular cleansing, a dermatologist should be consulted. At 30, the skin slowly begins to lose elasticity and tension. This leads to skin that looks older and older and becomes wrinkled over time.

Therefore, anti-ageing creams should be started early on. It is important here that the skin is given plenty of moisture. Additives such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A or E and antioxidants can enhance the effect of regenerating creams.

But even without creams, you can already achieve a lot by sleeping enough, drinking a lot and reducing stress. What sounds banal, however, shows very amazing results after some time. From about the age of 40 onwards, people show what the cosmetics industry calls “mature skin”.

This is characterized by a feeling of tension, wrinkles and possible dry spots. It does not have an oily shine and usually has no skin impurities such as pimples. However, since the skin is less and less able to recover and regenerate itself, it is recommended to use more gentle products for sensitive skin that are pH-neutral. As always with dry skin, treatment with moisturizing creams and lotions as well as sufficient hydration is essential. Here, rich oils can improve the skin’s appearance.
