Today we’re talking skin care. When it comes to how you look after your skin, the chances are you probably only think about the here and now. Not what you skin needs to stay healthy and radiant throughout your lifetime. This is a common mistake that many of us make and end up paying for later on in life, and not one that you want to make. To help you ensure that you’re taking care of your skin properly, we’ve put together this handy guide.Skincare for your twenties In your twenties the two areas that you need to focus on are achieving a clear complexion and preventing sun damage. To keep acne at bay, cleanse and tone your face twice a day using natural products. It's also important to eat healthily and make sure always to remove your makeup before bed. Blemishes and breakouts are a problem that you’ll see the effects of in your twenties. However, sun damage you won’t see the results of until later in life. That’s why it’s so important to take sun protection seriously, as even though it won’t affect your skin now, in the future, it will do. Did you know that the number one cause of premature aging is sun damage? Whenever you leave the house, rain or shine, always put sun protection on. How to achieve healthy skin in your thirties In your thirties, you’ll start to notice fine lines and wrinkles appearing, as well as the fact that your complexion isn’t as smooth as it used to be. The reason that both of these problems occur is because the body can’t produce collagen or elastin as quickly. This leads to fine lines, sagging skin and a complexion that is no longer as soft and smooth. To reduce the appearance of fine lines, it’s crucial that you moisturize twice a day with a rich face cream. Ideally, this should be a cream that contains collagen and elastin for helping to smooth out your skin, prevent sagging and fill lines. Tips for youthful skin in your forties In your forties, you’ll notice that wrinkles appear deeper and more set, as well as the fact that your skin now has the odd age spot or two. Many people dread their forties simply because of how different their face will look. However, it’s important to remember that aging is just another part of life. Plus, with the right products, you can easily keep the signs of aging at bay, so there’s no need to stress. To help reduce the appearance of age spots, it’s a good idea to invest in a peptide containing face cream. Peptide creams are great for helping to boost how youthful your skin looks as they increase collagen production. You can achieve more youthful skin with anti wrinkle cream, so it’s also worth investing in a good-quality pot of this. Fabulous skin in your fifties As well as continuing to use anti-aging creams, in your fifties, it’s important to focus on keeping your skin hydrated. Due to the hormonal changes that your body will go through, you’ll find that your skin is much drier. You can counteract this by using face creams with glycolic acid in them. This is a substance that’s a great skin hydrator, so is perfect for applying to dry, dull skin. There you have it, everything that you need to know about skin care from your twenties to your fifties. Take the tips and advice above on board, and you can ensure that your skin stays looking fabulous no matter what your age. by IC Contributors
Valentine’s day is considered the most romantic day of the year and it’s only just over a week away. Happy couples will soon start to buy and order cards and gifts that show their partner how much they care about them. This is traditionally followed by a romantic meal in a restaurant surrounded by other couples. While there is nothing wrong with planning this kind of date for your wife or girlfriend, why not make it even more personal and special. To help you make this Valentine’s day one to remember, use these ideas to inspire you.Plan a spa day at home Your special lady deserves to be pampered. So why not create a home spa so you can spend your Valentine’s day relaxing. Buy candles and make sure your home is spotless to create that spa-like feel. Create a hamper that is full of body lotions, face masks and hair products that you can both use throughout the light. Also, get slippers and robes for you both to slip into for maximum comfort. Practise your massage technique beforehand and give her a well-deserved massage on her back, neck or feet. She can then return the favour and give you a massage in return. Turn your phones off and just enjoy being in one another's company.  Go on a road trip Road trips are a brilliant choice for a Valentine’s day to remember because they feel more like a mini holiday. This is often a better option if you have been together for a long time and know each other inside out. It might be a little unnerving for your partner if you haven’t known each other very long and could scare her off. You could plan a road trip that allows you both to visit multiple locations or one location in particular. Think about places she may have mentioned in the past that she has always wanted to visit, such as Blackpool or London for instance. You can then research things to do in Blackpool or anywhere else she might like to visit to find activities you would both enjoy. To give it an extra special touch, make some clues for her to open that will hint at where you are travelling to. Also, make sure she packs the right kind of shoes and clothing to suit the activities you have planned. Get crafty If your lady loves getting crafty, then why not plan a night of arts and crafts. You could make a cute album together that you can put all your favourite photographs in. Or you could customise a piece of one another’s clothing. While you may end up with some hilarious results, it will be fun getting creative together. You may even realise how enjoyable crafts can be and your wife or girlfriend may be able to teach you a few new skills. Use Pinterest to find some fun and easy craft ideas you could try. Also, buy all the materials you need and some snacks you can enjoy as you make. These Valentine’s day date ideas are bound to be a success. There’s still time to plan something spectacular so get organised and start planning today. by IC Contributors
