Since skin aging begins internally in your 20's and externally in your teens but doesn't show up as visible ageing until around your 40's, it is easy to not consider proper skin care until it is too late.

The signs of skin aging will inevitably show up on everyone at one point or the other. All sorts of products and treatments can be used but it is only meant to delay and disguise the outward symptoms.

The first signs of skin aging will show up in your hands. Your face is probably not far behind in showing the lack of elasticity.

Your hands will go first because they not only have all the sun exposure that your face avoids with makeup but they also deal with harsh detergents in cleaning. Unless you can convince yourself to wear gloves, your hands are going to show damaged skin aging. If you use products that fade brown spots on your hands, you must wear gloves in the sun or see those spots come back even bigger.

Perhaps the best solution is to understand the aging process and not view it as a disease, but rather see it as another stage of development the body undergoes - a solution that requires no prescription and is free of charge.

Those beautiful models you see on TV are genetically blessed. They may spend time with exercise, they certainly have healthy diets, but they inherited the genes that slow the aging of skin. They also have professional makeup artists and lighting that is specifically set up to make them look great.

Take all the steps you can to protect your skin from damage and then let nature takes its course.

In a world overly youth oriented your ability to find a job can be affected by the appearance of your skin. No they can't discriminate based on age, but if you look older they can find a reason to not hire you. Since a lot of women enter or re-enter the job market after 40 when the children are older and in school, it becomes important for them to have youthful skin as well as an up-to-date work wardrobe and hairstyle.

If your makeup skills have not changed in 10 or 20 years, you need some professional advice. Check out the makeup counters at the larger stores. They usually have free make up make overs. You may not want to wear all those products but you will learn your options.
