jessica bielWhat does every woman want? Younger looking skin. Here are some quickie tips to achieve a youthful glow at any age.

20s: Good skin care should start in your 20s because the time you take now impacts your skins future.

• Use retinol every night to fight aging, smooth skin, and reduce pore size.

• Many 20 year olds have problems with oily skin. Mineral makeup works to soak it up, protect with built in SPF, and even out skin tone.

• Start using sunscreen regularly if nothing else.

30s: The 30s is when undereye and hydration problems rear their ugly heads.

• Begin using an eye cream that helps reduce the look of fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles.

• A creamy concealer will blend out what the eye cream does not.

• Natural exfoliation begins to slow during this period. Doing a weekly at home microdermabrasion or scrub is a good start.

40s: Dreaded sun damage will start to surface in your 40s.

• Products with alpha hydroxyl acid will help increase circulation and even tone.

• A brightening kit will help with radiance and evenness.

• Primers come in all shapes and sizes (moisturizers, stand alone, etc.). Use one to "prime" skin so that texture looks more even and makeup glides on smoothly.

50s
: The loss of hormones that menopause causes really starts to affect skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness.

• Collagen inducing products are key to help bring back some of the plumpness and firmness that menopause takes away.

• A thick cream will also help combat severe dryness.

• Lips will also begin to succumb to the affects of age, menopause and gravity. Use lipsticks that both plump and moisturize.

60s+: By the time your 60s roll around, oil production will really drop.

• Use a thick cream to help keep skin hydrated round the clock.

• Powder will only cake up and lodge into wrinkles so make sure to use liquid makeup.

• Use products with hyaluronic acid. They hold moisture better than others.
