Every age brings along it's own problems, cosmetologist Dr Rohini Wadhwani walks you through some skin treatments to combat these problems at different stages of your life

As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and moisture, making our complexion look dull and flaky. However, the signs of ageing can now be delayed by following a good skin care regimen right from your 20s.

Skin In The 20s

The skin in the early 20s might carry forward high oil production from the teenage years but as you approach the late 20s, signs of dryness may start appearing. Since elasticity, blood circulation and skin tone are very good at this age, a daily cleansing, toning, moisturising and protection, with weekly exfoliation should suffice; however those suffering from acute acne may want to consider the following non-aggressive treatments to prevent the condition from worsening.

Treatments Available

Deep cleansing treatment: This should be done every four to six weeks and is highly suited for those with oily, acne-prone skin. The skin is nourished using masks containing evening primrose and rosemary leaf oil.

Acne treatment: A combination of treatments, along with a home care routine is prescribed to reduce acne.

Microdermabrasion skin polishing: This procedure uses a controlled spray of fine crystals to remove the outer layer of the skin and reveal the younger, tighter and more radiant skin underneath. This treatment is ideal for skin blemishes, acne, scars, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles; and can be carried out on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, stomach, back or legs.
