Practice Safe Sun

The sun is your skin's biggest enemy. UV rays are the main cause of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin. So start wearing a sunscreen as part of your daily beauty regimen and apply your makeup on top of it. Make sure it is at least 60 SPF.

Eye Cream Goes A Long Way

If crows feet are your bigges fear, be sure to incorporate an eye cream along with your morning and nightly moisturizing routine. The skin around the eye is delicate so use your ring finger to gently tap underneath your eyes. Do not drag the cream. There are no pores on your eyelids so trace the cream around the eye socket. Remember that a little bit goes a long way.

Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!

As you age the skin takes longer to regenerate. So make sure to exfoliate your face at least once a week to take off dead skin cells and bring blood flow to the area. You don't need fancy electric brushes or expensive products to exfoliate; a simple washcloth with an exfoliant should do the trick.

Discovering Serums

Don't forget to incorporate something more nourishing than a cream or lotion. Have you tried facial serums? These are fast-absorbing, water-based fluids that are highly concentrated in beneficial ingredients. It is lighter than a moisturizer, making it perfect for South Asian oily skin. Make sure to add one to your morning and nightly routine. Apply a small amount after cleansing your face. Gently pat the serum on your face pushing it in the skin and don't skip the moisturizer after.

Hydrate Your Neck

Show your neck some love! We spend all our money and time prettying up our face but the neck gives away our age. Remember to take a little more moisturizer every night and spread it on your neck in an upward motion. As long as you give the skin back its moisture, it won't shrivel.
