Anti-aging Skincare for Autumn
This year I turned 35! Yes, I know… hard to believe I’m closer to 40 than 30 these days. With age comes many factors like fine lines, discoloration and even dreaded wrinkles. To combat some of this I’ve been incorporating new anti-aging products into my skincare routine. Every few months I like to switch things up in my regimen as the seasons change. As Fall and Winter approach our typical humid and hot climate is replaced with cooler, drier and windier weather. In my twenties and even early thirties I used to use whatever cleanser I could find that was reasonable and slap on a mask whenever I remembered to expecting glowing skin to emerge. Now I know better. Great skin requires a solid regimen and healthy lifestyle! Here are a few products and tips for glowing skin whether you are in your twenties or sixties!
Keep Your Routine Simple
I have a fairly simple skincare routine and use minimal products so being particular about what goes on my face is an absolute must. I begin with cleanser from the YOUOLOGY line. I wrote about their core products in this post where you can customize your daily cleanser, serum and moisturizers to best fit your skin’s needs. This was a complete game changer for me! I have dry, reactive skin so most cleansers either don’t cleanse enough or they dry my skin leaving it tight. This cleanser does not and I have added boosters to make it best fit what I need. I follow cleansing with hydrating Rosewater Toning Spritz. Toning is a step most people leave out. Rosewater has been used since Egyptian times and this one comes in a large bottle with the highest quality. Rosewater helps with eczema, sun burns, rosacea and a variety of other skin conditions like acne. It helps restore pH balance and tightens pores. Depending on morning or evening I finish with the YOUOLOGY day and night moisturizers. I like how the day version is quick absorption and the night version is thicker and creamier.
Add Targeted Products
Last year I focused heavily on target products for acne. I was dealing with terrible hormonal acne so most of the serums and masks I used were focused on healing those problems. If you are also dealing with acne issues check out this post and I’m always available for questions at threeheelclicksblog@gmail.com. I love responding to your skincare issues! You can also shoot me a message on Facebook @threeheelclicks or leave a comment below. Currently I am using an eye cream and two serums to target dull and aging skin. The serums are both lightweight and I apply at night before I use night cream. I make sure to let each one absorb before applying the next one. Both the YOUOLOGY Brightening Serum and the YOUOLOGY Anti-aging Serum are non-toxic products formulated and backed up by third party independent studies. I’ve noticed such a difference over this past month in reduced fine lines and redness from from acne scars. The YOUOLOGY eye cream has been in my skincare rotation since June and reduced my dark circles. I notice a difference when I put it on in the morning. These products have vitamins like niacinamide and fruit extracts to help skin tighten, brighten and reduce inflammation.
Treat with Masks
You may be surprised with this face but I mask 4-5 times a week and each mask serves a different purpose. First up is the YOUOLOGY Exfoliating Mask. You can learn more about the benefits of exfoliation in this post, but it’s essential to healthy skin. For days I feel a breakout coming on I use the black charcoal YOUOLOGY Perfecting Mask. This mask is also a great targeted treatment for acne or breakouts. It’s gentle yet powerful with activated black charcoal and helps detox your skin. At least once a week I use the YOUOLOGY Brightening Mask which is a gold peel off mask with niacinamide, licorice root and Kakadu plum fruit extract. This mask is also a favorite anti-aging product. I finish with the YOUOLOGY Hydration Mask which I shared about last month in this post. Each mask comes with an ample amount of product and will last well into the Winter months.
Since I started my skincare regimen in the summer of 2019 I have seen at least five years taken off my face. I get more compliments than ever on how young I look and combined with a healthy lifestyle of exercise, plenty of water and plant based foods plus sleep I know I am giving myself the love it needs!
