Skin Care Through the Decades
Teens
Teenage years may be a tumultuous time for your skin as it deals with increased hormones and the process of adolescence. We urge you to be gentle with yourself and your skin during this time of change.
Pimples need to be healed as quickly as possible to negate the likelihood of scarring. Pure Care Cover Stick is an indispensable conceal and heal product with just the right amount of Manuka and Tea Tree to do miraculous work.
No squeezing pimples! The sooner the pimple heals the more likely it is that you will not have scarring.
Cleanse with Cleansing Cream in the ‘press and roll’ manner in the morning, followed by Clarifying Toner, apply a couple of drops of Normalising Day Oil and Pure Care Cover Stick when required. Squeezing may rupture the follicle setting up an infection in the lower levels of the skin.
Rose Day Cream Light is our most popular teen/20’s day care product and if need be it may be mixed with a couple of drops of Normalising Day Oil prior to application.
20’s
The teenage years and associated adolescent hormones showing up in your skin should be calming now. It may be that blemishes are less likely, although you may have remaining an oily skin condition. Alternatively a common skin condition is a combination condition of an Oily T-zone and Normal or Dry Cheeks. If this is the case, go for Rose and its normalising properties; Rose Day Cream Light or if you need more, Rose Day Cream
Alternatively many women will find their skin has balanced to a normal skin condition once in their twenties and Quince Day Cream is a popular choice.
For some, the teenage years didn’t give the expected pimples and they have now found themselves in an acne situation in their twenties. Pimples need to be healed as quickly as possible to negate the likelihood of scarring. Use Pure Care Cover Stick as part of your skin care.
It may be that in your twenties you are entering a period of life that includes pregnancy, post natal and associated hormonal fluctuations are likely to indicate changing skin care requirements.
The important issue is that you are able to recognise your skin condition and be aware that it changes therefore your day care needs to alter as well.
30’s
If you had oily skin or were besieged by pimples during your teenage years and into your twenties, by your thirties these issues are likely to be in the past. However, for some, adult acne may be a problem. Often a thirties skin is a skin that may present with sensitivities which may be the result of synthetic chemical skin care or harsh exfoliating treatments such as AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids). The important issue is that you are able to recognise your skin condition and treat it appropriately with the correct Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. A skin that is initially sensitive may well have quite different requirements once sensitivity is no longer a problem. Rose Day Cream with St.John’s wort is our usual choice for a sensitive skin, however if the sensitivity is ‘hot’ then go for cooling products such as Regenerating Serum/Quince Day Cream.
It may be that in your thirties you are entering a period of life that includes pregnancy, post natal and associated hormonal fluctuations are likely to indicate changing skin care requirements.
40’s
If you had oily skin or were besieged by pimples during your twenties and beyond, by your forties it is likely you will have a settled skin with break outs being a thing of the past. For most women in their forties protection against the environment is paramount. Sometimes we see women presenting with an extremely sensitive skin often due to synthetic chemical skin care, AHA’s or other such harsh exfoliating treatments and/or aggressive treatments such as peels. Our first concern in this instance is to treat the skin in a gentle manner and strengthen the skin.
Our forties is often a time in our lives that we need to look to more nourishing and protective day care; therefore it’s likely the lighter day care of Rose Day Cream Light and Quince Day Cream may need to be altered to the more activating Moisturising Day Cream (only if skin is not sensitive as this is a very activating Moisturiser) or the rich yet gentle Rose Day Cream. Alternatively it may be time to enjoy Regenerating Serum and Regenerating Day Cream, designed to support a maturing skin and also a sensitive skin.
The important issue is that you are able to recognise your skin condition and be aware that it changes therefore your day care needs to alter as well.
50’s
Getting older brings many advantages; with growing wisdom we can see the bigger picture and take a calmer approach to life in general. Our faces reflect our experience and our features become full of character. How good to be able to enjoy this mature beauty graciously.
Mature skin tends towards dryness and loses its elasticity. Dr.Hauschka care products support its natural, healthy activity and provide lavish care. The light but activating Moisturising Day Cream is usually the choice of day care for a skin that’s dry but not sensitive nor with menopausal pimples; because it’s so activating in the 50’s and beyond. For particularly dry skin, mix a little Moisturising Mask in with your day care in the palms of the hands prior to application until condition improves. Alternatively use Toned Day Cream, which will enliven your skin with warm tones over Moisturising Day Cream.
Use Firming Mask at least twice a week.
Regenerating Serum and Regenerating Day Cream are partner products designed specifically for a maturing skin that may be sensitive as well.
For most women in their fifties protection against the environment is paramount. Hormonal fluctuations and menopause affects the skin. Our skin gets a little thinner. We may see women presenting with a very sensitive skin often due to synthetic chemical skin care and or harsh treatments such as peels or acidic exfoliating treatments. Our first concern in this instance is to treat the skin in a gentle manner and strengthen the skin.
The important issue is that you are able to recognise your skin condition and be aware that it changes therefore your day care needs to alter as well.
60’s & beyond
Getting older brings many advantages; with growing wisdom we can see the bigger picture and take a calmer approach to life in general. Our faces reflect our experience and our features become full of character. How good to be able to enjoy this mature beauty graciously.
Mature skin tends to be dry and loses its elasticity. Dr.Hauschka care products support its natural, healthy activity and provide lavish care. The light but activating Moisturising Day Cream is usually the choice of day care for a skin that’s dry but not sensitive in the 50’s and beyond. For particularly dry skin, mix a little Moisturising Mask in with your day care in the palms of the hands prior to application until condition improves. Alternatively use Toned Day Cream, which will give your skin warmth, over Moisturising Day Cream.
Use Firming Mask at least twice a week.
Regenerating Serum and Regenerating Day Cream are partner products designed specifically for a maturing skin that may be sensitive as well.
For most women in their sixties and beyond, protection against the environment is paramount as skin has a tendency to become thinner as we get older. Hormonal fluctuations from menopause have usually calmed by now. Occasionally we see women presenting with a very sensitive skin often due to long term synthetic chemical skin product use and/or harsh treatments such as peels or acid exfoliating techniques. Our first concern in this instance is to treat the skin in a gentle manner and strengthen the skin. The important issue is that you are able to recognise your skin condition and be aware that it changes therefore your skin care regime needs to alter as well.
