How to Determine What Your Skin Needs at 35


Step Up Your Skin CareHi,

I’m 35 and looking for the best skin care anti aging products that have all the ingredients talked about. Can you recommend one please?

Tanks,
Dimi

============================================

Hi Dimi,

Not only can I recommend one, I can suggest several ;-)

First you need to analyze exactly what your skin needs at this point in your life. Please read this article: Step Up Your Skin Care.

Next take a look at my list of Top Ten Anti-Aging Skin Care Picks and/or Top Ten Affordable Anti-Aging Skin Care Picks.

If the condition of your skin is average for your age and you have no special conditions like acne or rosacea, your skin anti-aging regimen should include:

Broad Spectrum Sun Protection – at least SPF 15, though I really recommend SPF 30;
Moisturizer – as rich as the condition of your skin warrants (You want your skin to remain well-hydrated to support the skin’s support system, the intercellular matrix.);
A Good Combo of Topical Antioxidants – with antioxidants, the more the merrier since they protect cells against oxidative damage in various ways and in different parts of the cells; and
Exfoliation – retinoids, AHAs or BHAs to slough dull dead skin cells and stimulate new collagen production.

In a few more years or if you already have signs of wrinkling or sun damage, you will want to add some Peptides to your skin’s “must have” list.

Regards,
Jean
