Do you want to get a glowing complexion and also get rid of age-related skin problems like fine lines and wrinkles? If yes, you should not wait until you reach 40, but you should act now. First, you should understand how your age plays a major role in how you look and the care you have to take of it. If you take better care of your skin now it helps you stay crinkle free later.

Here we give an analysis on the skin characteristics at various ages and what you can do take better care of your skin.

Your age: 18-25

Skin's characteristics:

Oil glands in your skin at this phase work at full speed. Your skin will be supple and well moisturized. Your skin cells regenerate regularly and so your skin will have a good texture and rosy glow. Due to excess oil production there may be breakouts and a shiny look on your skin.

Skin strategy:

• Use a mild cleanser to remove oil and dirt. If your skin is greasy, use a foaming oil-free face wash.
• Use an oil-free moisturizer with antioxidants like vitamins C or E - or a combination of both vitamins. The free-radical fighters keep you safe from sun and environmental damage. Also don't use pore-clogging heavy creams.
• Stay away from blemishes by exfoliating 1-2 times a week using a gentle scrub. If you're having breakouts, use a benzoyl peroxide system. If you are having one or two pimples, apply a salicylic acid spot treatment.

Your age: 26-30

Skin's characteristics:

at this age, the oil production comes under control. You may be having occasional zits. The collagen production and cell regeneration slows down. Now the environmental issues play a major role as your cells regenerate very often.

Skin strategy:

• Use a cleanser with salicylic acid. It helps in preventing sporadic breakouts and keeps your skin away from dullness-causing dead skin cells.
• Apply an exfoliating treatment weekly. Glycolic peel and microdermabrasion kits help in removing the damaged surface skin, and reveal the fresher layer underneath. They also increase collagen production.
• Keep using an antioxidant-laced oil-free lotion in the morning time. But at night times, use one containing retinol as it encourages cell renewal and makes your skin exfoliate efficiently.

Your age: 31-35

Skin's characteristics:

You might be having little lines, discoloration and dryness.

Skin strategy:

• Smooth on a serum twice a day. Most can deliver potent levels of anti-ageing active ingredients, including antioxidants, than a regular lotion.
• Follow your daytime serum application along with an SPF lotion. It helps in treating pigmentation probs.
• Apply an eye cream and heavier moisturizer at night over the serum. It helps in boosting hydration. Also use heavy doses of retinol and hyaluronic acid. hyaluronic acid is a plumping agent and attracts moisture from air to skin.
