Every woman wants to know how to keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. The answer is very simple. Take some time each day for a skin care regimen. We spoke to skin experts at Chiara Cosmetics and they shared their best kept secrets with us.

Minimize sun exposure

Wrinkles occur when the collagen fibers in your skin begin to get thinner and fragment. Sun exposure accelerates this process. Minimizing your time in the sun can help prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Use anti-aging products

Start your morning with a cleanser and toner followed by a moisturizer with sun protection that has an SPF 15 or higher. This will help keep skin hydrated and protected. As skin matures, add a treatment product designed to fight wrinkles. This includes, especially, an eye cream to take care of the delicate under-eye skin.

Fight Sun Damage

Daily sunscreen is a must, regardless of where you live and the time of year. A majority of sun exposure occurs on a daily basis, like when walking to and from your car. UV rays can even travel through glass. To repair sun damage, there are many lightening products available to target the pigment and age spots that years of sun exposure have left behind.

Moisturize frequently during winter

Winter weather is drying, and can aggravate the skin, turning fine lines into deeper impressions, especially around the eyes. Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet by using an appropriate under-eye cream.

Include neck in daily regimens

Signs of aging also tend to show up on the neck and jawline. Don’t forget to treat these often overlooked areas.

Don’t Miss Your Facials

No matter how well you take care of your skin at home, there’s always a benefit to be had from getting the full facial treatment at a professional beauty spa. Whether you’re after that beautiful post-facial skin tone, a relaxing massage of the face, head, and neck, or just some time spent being pampered, an hour or a day spent with qualified spa beauticians can do a world of wonder for both your inner and outer self.
