HEALTH & WELLNESS
SPEC IA L SECTION
Makeup-removing wipes are a quick alternative to at least get a
majority of products off of your face.
• DO: Be sure to wipe down your cell phone. Bacteria can live
on the surface and cause major breakouts on your cheeks and
chin if not properly sanitized.
PREVENTION YEARS
As a young adult, it’s important to continue good habits of caring
for your skin. This is the prime age to prevent unwanted wrinkles
that you may start to face in the next five to 10 years. Now is the
time to take charge by:
• Wearing eye cream. We have seen the commercials about
preventing wrinkles. But when do you have to start? NOW!
The skin around your eyes is very thin and just a short amount
of sunlight could cause lasting wrinkles.
• Applying something with SPF to face, neck, and hands.
Skipping the protection of an SPF could throw off your entire
routine. Find a good moisturizer that combines protection
with moisture and apply it to your face, neck, and hands. The
neck and hands are often overlooked, but prime spots for the
sun to hit and cause wrinkles.
• Quitting bad habits. Now is a better time than ever to kick the
bad habits you learned in high school and college. The number
of benefits of canceling your package at the tanning salon and
quitting smoking would take up this entire article, but for
skin’s sake, give them up!
TREATMENT YEARS
Now is the time to treat the years of damage that the sun and
other elements have caused to your skin.
• Put the right nutrients into your body. It’s important to make
sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs on the inside
for radiant skin on the outside. This includes lots of water!
• Take cover when heading outside. SPF shouldn’t be skipped
at this age either and should be applied daily. Try adding a hat
and cover your skin to prevent overexposure to the harmful
rays of the sun, even in the cooler months.
• Find a good retinoid. Derived from vitamin-A, retinoids boost
collagen production in the skin to stimulate blood vessels and
unclog pores.
