Getting to Know Your Skin Type & More

Hi there, beauties! Sylvia here with what I hope will be one of my best posts yet. I have a very exciting week planned ahead {more about that TBA} --- Starting a bit early with today's entry. I want to go over why a Skincare regimen is so important, as well as the benefits you can expect to get from using AVON's Anew Skincare products. 

What do you hope to learn from these next few posts of mine? Leave your comments below!

Start by knowing your skin type: 

SKIN TYPES:

Normal:

• Clear appearance
• Even coloring 
• Neither tight nor greasy 
• Soft and supple

Dry:

• Irritated and tight after cleansing
• Often looks flaky
• Tendency toward fine lines/wrinkles

Oily:

• Shiny appearance 
• Enlarged pores
• Rough/irregular feel
• Prone to blackheads and blemishes 

Combination:

• Dryness on cheeks and shiny appearance 
• Medium-sized pores
• May experience mild tightness

7 Sins for Skin:
How many of these are you guilty of?

1) The Sun: Aging specifically caused by UV rays is called photoaging. Wear suncreen.

2) Smoking: Deprives skin of nutrients and oxygen making skin look dull and lifeless.

3) Stress/Lack of Sleep: Stress can lead to dryness, sensitivity, acne, excess oil, and lackluster skin. Sleep is vital to give your skin time to repair and rejuvenate. 

4) Pollution: Blocks pores, can lead to skin dehydration, roughness, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. 

5) Facial Expressions: The 15,000 facial expressions that you make every day can damage skin. The constant moving of face muscles causes skin fibers to slacken.

6) Everyday Diet: Fast food, sugar, and empty calories wreck your waistline and skin. Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. 

7) Sleep Positions: Side sleeping can cause lines on your chin and cheeks. Sleeping face down can cause lines on your forehead. Sleeping on your back is the best position to prevent lines.

Skin Ages & Stages:

30's - Early: Skin begins to lose its natural radiance, looking more tired, stressed, and dull. Gradual loss of clarity results in uneven skin tone. Skin repairs at a slower rate and this may lead to an increase in dryness of your skin.

40's - Moderate: Fine lines and wrinkles appear, along with visible photo damage. Signs of fine lines may show around eyes. Some loss of elasticity and skin repair/hydration continue to decrease. 

50+ - Advanced: More wrinkles, roughness, discoloration, and uneveness appear. Pores and age spots get bigger along with sagging of skin around eyes, cheeks, and jawline. The epidermis gets thinner as well.

Being consistent in your skincare routine will give the best results in your desired skin radiance. Luckily, an Anew Skincare Regimen can be implemented in your daily/nightly routine with four simple steps:

| 1. Cleanse | 2. Treat | 3. Moisturize | 4. Eye |

Skincare TIPS:

• Wash your hands before applying products to avoid transfer of bacteria.
• Always apply serums and moisturizers on cleansed, dry skin. When using both, apply serum first.
• Apply creams in circular movements on face and use a gentle tapping motion around eyes.

Anew {The anti-aging Expert} was launched by AVON more than 20 years ago. With that, some of the most effective treatments to dramatically transform skin {for a more healthy, younger-looking skin} have been introduced.
