Whether you're in your 20s or your 60s, maintaining healthy skin can be a challenge. Here are six quick and easy tips to help you achieve healthier, softer skin.
Softer skin at any age
Whether you’re twenty-five, or sixty-five, the quest to maintain healthy, soft skin can be a daily battle. While there is no guaranteed method to permanently turn back the clock, there are several simple ways to slow it down and retain moist, soft skin. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, a dermatologist at the Toronto Dermatology Centre, says that help is available for even the most serious of skin cases, thanks to advances in skin care and some healthy lifestyle know-how. “We can always help,” he says. “We can soften up anybody’s skin.” From the latest in facial moisturizers and skin-friendly foods, to new medical interventions, here are six tips to help achieve softer, more vibrant skin.
Wash your face properly
With a vast spectrum of lotions and potions on the market, it’s easy to become confused about what to use—especially on your face. “Using a cleanser rather than a soap is always a good idea,” advises Barankin. Soap is often too harsh and drying for delicate facial skin. The key is selecting a cleanser that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), “a detergent that is deep cleaning but also dehydrates the skin,” he explains. To complete your routine, says Barankin, “use lukewarm water after you finish washing and pat dry– no rubbing.”
