Are you under 30 and think you have premature again ??
Well I am here to tell you some info in hopes to help you save your money and buy what`s right for you !
I have read several post from ladies under 25 years old who claim that they have crows feet and fine lines. I used to be one of those girls who thought the same until a professional dermatologist set me straight.
What I thought was fine lines was actually dry skin . I was not having pre-mature aging my skin was thirsty for moisture. The fact that I was not drinking enough water or eating right did not help my problem any. So this is what I did:
1. I started to drink water ( I know this can be difficult but once you get into a habit of drinking water you get used to it )
2. Changed my cleanser and moisturizer to something that would support my dry skin.
3. Getting a good nights rest.
4. Got a GOOD sunblock
I know all the above are basic things everyone should be doing and I thought I was.. but when I started to really look into my habits I realized I was not being good to my body and it was being advertised to the world by my dry skin.
These minor changes made a HUGE difference. Now since I do have dry skin naturally I will always have to use a good moisturizer and eye cream but what is different now is what type of eye cream I need to use. At 22 years old I did not need a $50.00 eye cream for moisturize.. I could get that from other eye creams that did not cost a fortune, same goes with moisturizer.
I am 33 now and I am proud of how my skin looks. 10 years later am no longer using the same products, now I do use mid-range products because the truth is.. I am no longer 22 and I need some extra moisture than before. But then again I am still not in need of high cost retinol or those type of creams.
So the moral of this story is don`t waste your money on stuff you do not need until you actually need it. Buy wisely !!
One thing I want to add is something I learned the hard-way.. SUN DAMAGE. Sun damage is the leading cause for fine lines for ladies in their 30`s. Sun is good in moderation. Living in Miami Beach I can`t help but to go to the beach but now I do it with a hat always in hand. Sun Spots and fine lines WILL happen so buy a good sunblock and be aware.
I hope this info is good for you all
Until next time - K
