Your Personalized Overview

Your skin profile is a combination of elasticity and sensitivity. Below are some of the keys to your skin:

Fair Skin - naturally more sensitive and dry than other types, your skin is naturally thinner and produces less collagen, which is the protein responsible for youthful bouncy skin. However, you can generally be more aggressive with anti-aging products, without having to worry about too many side effects such as discoloration.

Hydration - dry and dehydrated skin causes skin to look more dull and skin to look less youthful. Look for Hyaluronic Acid in skincare products, as it helps draw and retain moisture in your skin cells.

Simplistic Routine - the less products you use, the better. Your skin is sensitive, and you should avoid foaming and soap based cleansers that strip the skin of natural oils.

Things That May Affect Your Skin

Environment

Your environment may be a cause of your dry skin. Pollutants and dry air can suck the moisture out of your skin, which is why it's important to replenish lost moisture using a lightweight moisturizer, while also getting enough water intake everyday. A travel-sized moisturizer can be very handy and worth looking into if you tend to be in environments with dry air.

Genetics

80% of skin youthfulness and elasticity can typically be traced to genetics. If people in your family generally do not maintain youthful skin as they age, chances are your loss of elasticity can be attributed to genetics. Fortunately, the 20% that can be controlled can have a significant impact on how youthful your skin looks. These things include being diligent about applying moisturizer, using

Cigarettes

Smoking can dramatically speed up the aging process. The nicotine in cigarettes reduces the blood flow and oxygen to the skin, which results in premature sagging and aging of the skin.

Hydration

If you do not use a moisturizer in your daily skin routine, your skin may not be getting the adequate hydration it needs to have a youthful, glowing look. When choosing products, look for an ingredient such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is an extremely powerful moisturizing ingredient, that can hold and retain water in the skin.
