Ageless Beauty – Skin Care at Every Stage of Life

Post-Adolescence (Ages 18-25)

During the post-adolescent years, your skin is generally soft and supple due to its high regenerative abilities. However, hormonal changes can still cause oily skin and acne breakouts.

Skin Care Regimen:

• Cleanser: Use a mild cleanser to remove excess oils and dirt. A good option is the Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel, which contains aloe vera and natural herbs to cleanse without disturbing the skin's natural moisture levels.
• Toner: Follow up with a toner to restore the skin's pH balance. The Obagi Nu-Derm Toner is a reliable choice.
• Moisturizer: Hydrate your skin with a light, water-based moisturizer like Neocutis Hyalis, a hydrating serum.
• Exfoliation: Exfoliate twice a week to remove dead skin cells and maintain smooth skin.
• Eye Cream: Start using eye creams to nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. The Obagi ELASTIderm Night Eye Cream is excellent for its anti-aging properties and elasticity improvement.

Mid-Twenties (Ages 26-30)

As you enter your mid-twenties, your skin matures, and oil production decreases. However, collagen and elastin levels also start to diminish, slowing down the skin's natural regenerative properties.

Skin Care Regimen:

• Cleanser: Switch to a cleanser with salicylic acid to prevent acne and remove dead skin cells. The iS Clinical Active Serum is effective in preventing premature aging and boosting collagen production.
• Exfoliation: Use a deep exfoliating treatment weekly.
• Moisturizer: Apply a day moisturizing cream like Obagi Day Lotion to exfoliate, hydrate, and promote a flawless complexion.
• Sunscreen: Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your neck, chest, and hands to protect against UV damage.

Early Thirties and Beyond (Ages 31+)

The early thirties mark the beginning of visible aging signs such as fine lines, discoloration, and dryness.

Skin Care Regimen:

• Anti-Aging Products: Focus on anti-aging skincare products. The iS Clinical Youth Complex is a unique anti-wrinkle formulation that reduces facial lines and wrinkles while stimulating collagen and elastin production.
• Moisturizer: Use a good moisturizing day cream to combat dryness. The NeoCutis Bio-Restorative Skin Cream is excellent for nourishing the skin and reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
