Your Challenges in Your 20s
You’re blessed with wrinkle-free skin, but chances are you still battle breakouts especially in summer’s relentless heat and humidity. So resist the urge to head straight to bed after that late night beach party. "Not washing your face leads to breakouts, but it can also give the skin a dull, lined appearance," says skincare expert Sunday Riley, who works with 26-year-old Freida Pinto. You’ll thank yourself later for starting good habit night-time cleansing, daily SPF, and a little preventative treatment during these years. Your Challenges in Your 30s
Depending on your skin type (and your genetics) you may start to see some fine lines and complexion dullness. To keep your skin fresh like 32-year-old Kate Hudson, good nutrition is key. Dermatologist Nicholas Perricone advises clients to skip the cocktail umbrellas and summertime margaritas. "Limiting alcohol helps flush the body of toxins and lets the skin stay supple," he says. Pure spring water and green tea are quenching alternatives. Your Challenges in Your 40s
For women in their 40s, summer presents a unique problem: The manifestation of years of sun damage. "The sun will make them appear darker, but those spots formed from years of sunbathing," explains Kate Somerville, who works with 43-year-old Kate Walsh. Kill two birds with one stone: Retinol products will both reverse and prevent damage. Your Challenges at 50 and Beyond
While everyone with mature skin wants to address wrinkle prevention, other summer issues do pop up, including blotchiness and adult acne. Dermatologist Patricia Wexler, who works with 57-year-old Christie Brinkley, advises clients to treat each problem individually. For wrinkles, she recommends products with peptides and retinoids that stimulate collagen. If you get blotchy, products with hydroquinone will prevent irregular pigmentation apply especially well over bony areas. And just like when you were in your teens, salicylic acid is still the best treatment for acne.
