Skin care can mean different things at different stages in life. Find out which products you should be using for your age. Let's start with our 20s!
"In your 20s, you should establish a consistent skin-care regimen. You want to set good habits of taking care of your skin for the rest of your life," said skin expert Danny Holbus, of DMH Aesthetics. "Typically, in our 20s, we are getting less sleep and subjecting our skin to harsher conditions. We want to be making sure to wash our face every night before bed to cleanse any dirt and pollutants, which will age our skin. Also this is the age when sunscreen is KEY! No more sun bathing in the South of France without a good sunscreen!"

"Prevention is key. This is when you want to start amping up your skin-care line of defense," noted Danny. "You want anti-aging, vitamin-rich products to help slow down the hands of time. In your 30s, a good eye cream is going to be your best friend. Many people don't realize it, but the skin around your lips is just as delicate as the skin around your eyes and should be treated as such to prevent thinning lips that lose volume and plumpness."

"The 40s are all about anti-aging," said the skin pro. "Hydration, boosting collagen production and increasing cell turnover are major keys. Luxuriously creamy cleansers, retinol and intensely hydrating moisturizers are going to be your best friends. When your skin dries out, fine lines and wrinkles start to form and existing ones worsen. It is crucial to keep the skin quenched. Retinol will help to encourage the skin's renewal process; it helps improve skin tone and texture, assists in collagen production and reduces lines and wrinkles."
Basically retinol is the key ingredient you're looking for, and if you can score a prescription for Retin-A, even better!

"Two words: Maintenance and hydration! You want to focus on firming and hydrating skin," advised Danny. "Also, special care of the neck and décolleté are important. Gravity begins to take its toll, so you want to make sure to pay attention to those areas as well where the skin will begin to lose its firmness and elasticity."
