Ladies ‘of A Certain Age’ Share Topics And Tips
These days it seems like whenever we ladies of a ‘certain age’ get together, one of the inevitable topics that comes up is how older women take care of their skin.
Of course the same basic health principles apply. For good skin, there’s nothing that beats getting plenty of exercise, eating nutritious foods, drinking lots of water, and relying on that time-honored regimen of ‘cleanse-tone-moisturize’ twice a day.
When we think about it, it’s amazing our skin lasts as long as it does. It’s the largest organ in our bodies and it not only covers us, it has all kinds of important purposes, such as helping to regulate body temperature and so on. However, by the time we reach that ‘certain age, ‘ we begin to worry more about how our skin looks on our faces, neck, hands and chest.
Thankfully there are more options for restoring our poor, stressed-out skin. One of these is really exciting – treatment using intense pulsed light. These sessions are supervised by medical professionals and they’ve achieved some astounding results. Skin blemishes that we once couldn’t get rid of, like age spots, freckles and redness, can be reversed using these treatments. Even such unsightly things as spider veins can be reduced or eliminated.
Many of the ladies have been trying all kinds of anti aging skin care products. We even joke that we’ve formed our own consumer products testing panel! Whenever we get together we invariably talk about how well some new product is working. It’s just amazing to us how much research has been done on what it takes to keep skin looking younger, smooth and evenly toned and with a minimum of lines and wrinkles.
We’ve tried many different brands of restorative products looking for the one that works best. And you know what we found out? It turns out that just as each woman’s skin is different – some dry, some oily, some combination or normal (lucky ladies! – so anti aging products work differently for each woman. So it isn’t a matter of which product works best, but which product works best for each individual woman.
Good skin care has become an even more important a part of our health regimen. Some women find it’s even more essential than wearing their favorite beauty perfume.
