Signs of skin aging

Before we start talking about the most common mistakes, which women after 50 do in their makeup, we need to understand what the signs of skin aging actually are.

The first signs of aging usually appear after 25. However, this process is very individual and depends on genetics as well.

There are 3 main signs of skin aging:

1. Wrinkles.

2. Loss of elasticity.

3. Loss of volume.

Of course, in order to postpone these sad processes, a woman should choose the correct skin care products. Here are 4 skincare ingredients that actually work and prevent skin from premature aging.

1. Wearing a wrong foundation.

It’s very important to choose a foundation according to your skin type and color. If you have dry skin, try foundations with light-diffusing pigments. And remember that wearing too much foundation is also a mistake. It clogs your skin and settles in the lines and creases. As a result, the skin looks older.

2. Heavy concealer on dark circles.

As we age, the skin under the eyes gets thinner. Use of a heavy concealer looks like concrete and makes circles even darker. It’s better to apply a light formula.

3. Too dark lipstick.

Dark colors create an illusion which makes your mouth look pinched. Besides, burgundies, wines, or browns add extra age. Neutrals are always a perfect option. But remember to use a lip pencil the same color as your lipstick.

4. Putting eyeliner on lower lids.

A dark line on your lower lids makes the face look too harsh. If it’s combined with a mascara, that makes your lashes look like little spider legs, the result is catastrophic.

5. Forgetting the blush.

When getting older, our skin loses its natural color. A lot of women neglect wearing blush on the cheeks, which is totally incorrect. Always add the ‘blush of youth’ to the apples of your cheeks. It makes you look fresh and healthy.
