Going Downhill After 30??

Time, is the greatest factor that brings about ageing in women. Oh, sorry, not only women, but for the men as well. When we enter the maturity phase, we have to watch out so that our facial complexion would not quietly disclose our real age ! The healthy and impeccable complexion that we used to enjoy would slowly lose its gloss and tenderness with passing of time. As such, we can no longer overlook the importance of skincare. How long we want to keep the youthful look of our complexion will have to depend on how much effort we put in !

When a man & woman turns 30, traces of age will begin surface on his/her face. With the advancement of age, the skin will present the signs of ageing. When we turn 30, our skin will begin to experience some changes, as the sebaceous secretion will dwindle and the skin will be rendered dry. When the outer skin become thinner, and subcutaneous secretion is reduced, the tissue will lose some of its elasticity, and wrinkles and eye pockets will ensure, while the skin becomes inelastic and lax. On top of that, the skin will also become more sentisive due to the ageing process, making it easy to develop rashes in response to external stimulation.

THE FIVE SIGNS OF A 30-SOMETHING :

1. The cuticle layer will present irregular coarseness showing that the skin is beginning to show signs of inadequate moisture and oil, so that the skin will appear dull.
2. The capillaries under the skin can be seen easily, showing that the cells on the true skin are beginning to thin out so that the capillaries beneath have become easily visible.
3. The "press line" on our face as we wake up in the morning, will take a longer time to disappear, showing the gradual depletion of the collagen on our true skin, such that the skin will become less elastic now.
4. The black eye and eye pocket phenomena become easily visible, and this situation could be worsened if we sleep too late, showing that the blood circulation on the skin around the eyes is no longer as it used to be, and that the elasticity of the tissues is decreated, thus presenting the phenomena of dullness and puffing easily.
5. The micro-wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead will be manifested fully on slight smile, showing that the skin has lost its tenderness and elasticity and begins to age.

Consequently, to stay youthful, skincare is of utmost importance in order to slow down the pace of ageing and to retain that 18-year-old-look. Other than applying skincare products to improve the quality of the skin, the below also of paramount importance:

1. Balanced diet - food in rich of antioxidant, pyotochemical and polysaccharide.
2. Adequate rest - at least sleep 8 hours a day on routine time.
3. Stable emotion - a harmful hormone will generate if we are in negative emotion.
4. Adequate physical exercises - improve blood circulation, discharge the harmful hormone & chemical toxic.

The above are helping our immuse system to function well in :

• Defence the intruders to our body like dust, bacteria, viruses.
• Clear out the rubbish like ageing red blood
• Repair our damaged cells.

In addition, the skin will become drier when we turn 30, and while the principles of skincare should be focused on the facial complexion, the care of the skin on the other parts of our body must also not be overlooked in order to achieve holistic beauty. As such, we must avoid excessively hot bath and avoid the use of soap and ordinary shower cream. Instead, we should opt for gentle and healthy shower cream and moisturizer to provide the skin deeper nourishment.
