Teenage years

From the moment you stepped into puberty you can think of yourself as a young woman. This is the time to learn the first things about make-up and taking care of your face.
Don't let pimple, oily hair and hormonal changes get you down.

• Put on some peeling masks if necessary
• do some anti-acne treatments
• use some fruit acid cream to vitalize face skin

Learn that before and after you put on your make-up you must use cleansing lotion!
This is the basic skin care.
If you solved these problems, chose a make-up style that represents you. Chose lively colored lipstick and paint and play with tones and mascara quantities (stay away from face powder and foundation). Now it is the time to be rebellious and extravagant (not in school though) so don't let anything stop you.

Beauty by Age - 20

You are already 20, full of hopes and dreams and you still own this very precious thing: youth!
Your skin and body are in top shape. Now it's the time to conserve these qualities.
Your basic skin care consists in two times per day cleansing, toner, vitamin creams and sunscreen. Don't forget about hydrating and exfoliating masks once a week and the monthly visit to the cosmetic paler for your pore cleansing.
Keeping the skin around your eyes is also very important. In the morning and before bed you should have skin gently massaged with eye gel to prevent fine lines.
As far as make-up goes you probably use face powder and foundation which is ok and you have your own style. Keep perfecting it constantly taking in consideration new trends.

Beauty by Age - 30

At this point your life is great and you are more independent and self-confident. Your life is active and you feel there is little time to think about beauty...
Wrong!
Now it's the time to take seriously your role as a beautiful woman.
You should go to the gym because your body can take strange proportions and your build is no longer important as metabolism changes.
Besides your daily routine add some anti-wrinkle cream and don't forget facial massage in the morning and before bed (gravity leaves its marks but you can fix that if you do the right thing).
Make up becomes more elaborated at this age and it is necessary to consider it your daily routine. Fine lines and dark circles are hidden, the lip outline pencil is chosen to match the color of the lipstick to highlight natural outline and pink blush is applied on nose, cheeks and tip of your ears (gives an air of freshness and youth).
It's time for the beauty products to highlight you!

Beauty by Age - 40

At this age you probably have kids, more responsibilities and life is generally more stressful then before. But because of the experience and the wisdom accumulated throughout the years you know how to handle them successfully.

The daily beauty routine is as natural to you as the other biological needs. You must work out to keep yourself in shape, but don't choose sports that require your whole energy and time. Most appropriate sports at this point are: aerobic - 2 hours per week, jogging or swimming.

Beauty creams should be an investment for you at this age: skin needs top quality products (anti-wrinkle, with vitamins, A-HA complex, high protection sun-screen).
Face massage is more then necessary and now make-up needs to be natural and stimulate your beauty (foundation, face powder, blush, lip liner, natural toned lipsticks, eye liner, mascara).

Beauty by Age - 50

Now you are an accomplished woman, and like any of us, full of achievements and regrets. Whether you are professionally active or retired, you can be a beautiful woman and modern granny. Time has left its mark on your body in a pleasant way, and your face reflects emotions that stayed with you throughout life (this if your name isn't Cher, then you would be full of plastic surgery and Botox).
Still you shouldn't neglect your skin and don't be sad about it. Keep using beauty products and keep your make-up basic (you really shouldn't be exaggerating at this age).
Watch out for details like nails (hands and feet).
Your hair must be always fresh colored as well as your eye brows and eye-lashes.
Use only very seductive perfumes.
Always be shiny and don't forget women are like old wine: they get more valuable as the years go by.

Bottom line:
You don't need millions to be beauty. BUT you need to stay close to a basic skincare routine and, most important, to have some time only for you.
And, don't forget: at any age you have a very cheap and effective remedy: good sleep.

Stay happy, beautiful and healthy!
