In our 20′s we need to establish a skincare regimen if we haven’t already done so.  This will ensure our skin looking fresh and youthful for years to come.  Proper cleansing and moisturizing routines are important.  Antioxidants and vitamins are your friends.

In our 30′s exfoliation is essential.  This is the time when skin discolorations and fine lines begin to show.  Exfoliation can help to minimize the effects of sun damage and some hormonal fluctuations either natural or related to pregnancy.  Our focus in this decade needs to be skin texture, tone, and color.  Anti-aging products with more than just one active ingredient are recommended.

In our 40′s our goal is nourishing and strengthening our skin’s natural defenses.  We need to use products that will promote firmness, elasticity and collagen production.  Forty is the new twenty, you know, so no worries at this age.  

As were moving into the 50+ years, many believe what’s done is done.  Not so!  The science of skincare has advanced a great deal, and minimal downtime procedures are all the rage.  Turning our focus on minimizing irritation and maximizing hydration, green tea and hyaluronic acid are the must haves for this age.

Whatever your age – its no matter.  It’s only a number.  What counts is our attitude and beliefs about ourselves.  Beauty begins on the inside.  It’s an attitude – a state of mind.  It’s in the way you walk, talk, and relate to the world around you.  It’s an inner peace that radiates an outer confidence – an intriguing presence about someone.  You can’t find it in a lotion, potion or bottle.  It can’t be manufactured in a lab or purchased at Neiman Marcus.  It is true, genuine and pure.  It is a matter of the heart.

Have a fabulous week and holiday weekend!! 

Namaste,

Lavonne
