It’s also never too late to start taking bet- ter care of your skin, and it is possible to enhance skin health at any age. For wrin- kles and fine lines, look for products that contain firming ingredients that will help stimulate collagen production, antioxi- dants to help protect against free radical damage, and smoothing ingredients to encourage cell renewal.


2. Your clothing and hair style have changed in the past 20 years; your skin care products should, too.


The moisturizer you used in your 20s may not be a good fit for your skin’s needs when you’re in your 50s. Baby boomers should look for skin care and makeup products specifically designed to address common concerns of aging skin, such as wrinkles, fine lines and hyperpigmenta- tion. The leading edge in addressing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is phytostem technology. Plant stem cells and firming active ingredients in the Cyto- luxe collection by glo therapeutics work to lift and tighten skin, as well as promote healthy cells and collagen production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Two new formulas, Vitamin C+, which contains 20 percent L-ascorbic acid, and Hydra- tion+, address the top two causes of ag- ing: sun damage and moisture loss.

For boomer women concerned about hy- perpigmentation, daily sunscreen should provide protection of 30 SPF or higher, and include ingredients that brighten and lighten skin, such as retinol and glycolic acid.

trients skin needs to age more grace- fully.


Good nutrition is important throughout life. Healthful nutrition is good for overall health, and it can help improve the skin’s appearance. Vitamins A, C and D are vi- tal for skin health, and topical applica- tions of A and C are also good for the skin.


De La Cruz recommends boomer women stay on top of hydration by drink- ing lots of water. Incorporate plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, too – espe- cially those containing key vitamins.


4. Your look has matured and so should your makeup routine.


The wrong makeup application can actu- ally amplify the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. As skin matures, a “less is more” approach is often more flattering.


“I advise women in their 50s and 60s to explore a clean, classic look,” says Janeena Billera, National Makeup Artist for glo minerals. “To achieve this, use natural foundations that illuminate and hydrate the skin. Choose neutral shades of matte to satin eye shadows, apply eyeliner tight to the lashline, maintain well-groomed eyebrows and add a natu- ral flush to the cheek.”


Finally, Billera advises, growing older doesn’t mean you have to give up being trendy and fun. “Use current trends as an inspiration and simply tweak or tone down the look, always keeping place- ment and blending in mind.”
