Skin condition has nothing to do with your age.
Older skin is different from younger skin; that is indisputable. Yet it is a mistake to buy skin care products based on a nebulous age category.Treating older or younger skin with products supposedly aimed at dealing with specific age ranges does not make sense because not everyone with 'older' or 'younger' skin has the same needs, yet it's a trap many women (especially older women) fall into.
An older person may have acne, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, sensitive or oily skin, while a younger person may have dry, freckled, or obviously sun-damaged skin.Products designed for older 'mature' skin are almost always too emollient and occlusive, and those designed for younger skin are almost always too drying.
The key issue with skin type needs to be the actual condition of your skin, not your age.While wrinkles tend to differentiate younger from older skin, your skin can still be oily at 60 and you can still struggle with breakouts. Not everyone in their 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s has the same skin care needs.
In a way it’s simple: You need to pay attention to what is taking place on your skin, and that varies from person to person.
One other important point - the skin care products you use can influence your skin type. Judging skin type simply by looking at your face and feeling your skin won’t address the underlying cause.For example, if you use a very rich, emollient cleanser, and follow it with a drying, alcohol-laden toner, and then an emollient moisturiser with a serum underneath, that could very well be causing you to have noticeably combination skin.
Using a moisturiser that is too emollient for your skin could be causing breakouts.Using skin care products that contain irritating ingredients could cause dryness, irritation, and redness. You may think you have a particular skin type, but you may be looking at your skin’s reaction to the products you are using.
