24 Nov 2009Your skin is talking to you, but are you listening?
That dry patch on your cheek is begging—yes, begging—for a bit of moisturizer. Those wrinkles by your eyes are screaming for some revitalization. Why are you ignoring it?
Take a good, hard look at your skin right now. What do you see? Are those your mother’s hands coming out of your sleeve? Your grandmother’s? When you smile, do your crow’s feet have crow’s feet? Your skin has clear signs that are simple to read. So, yes, your skin is talking to you right now and you really do need to listen.
Here are some of your skin’s most common complaints:
—I’m too dry. Slather on the moisturizer and make sure it’s good quality product that contains the ingredients your skin needs most, such as multi-vitamins and antioxidants.
—I have too many wrinkles. Today products really do reduce the signs of aging and wrinkles. Find a good moisturizer with anti-aging retinol, collagen and sunblock. Remember that sun damage can occur even in the winter months.
—Will you please get rid of these pimples? Find a good regime with natural ingredients that keeps your face clear of acne and won’t make your face look dry and peeling. Today’s products are designed for all different skin types, including products for older skin.
—Have you seen how I’ve been sagging lately? Many moisturizers now contain skin firming elements and lifting agents that can reduce sagging and they are much more affordable than drastic plastic surgery.
—I’m “blushing” all the time. Rosacea is a highly-treatable skin condition that can be greatly reduced by today’s high-quality skin products.
Find a mirror and take a good look at what your skin is telling you. Don’t ignore those pleas for help and the next time you just might hear your skin thank you.
