Just because you're older doesn't mean your skin has to show it


RX for Brown Skin for African American skincare products

While not every face cream can actually reverse the effects of aging, there are many African American skin care products that can help older ladies achieve a fresh, more youthful appearance. The trick is to use the right cosmetics, and apply them properly. Recently, the Guardian detailed tips on the right way to use makeup for older skin.


First, the news source said preparation is key. Using a moisturizer regularly that is meant to reduce the appearance of wrinkles helps create an even base for the rest of your makeup. Next, it's important to take care when applying foundation,


"Heavy foundations are a no no for mature skin, they tend to sit in fine lines and cause creasing. [Instead], use a light, medium coverage base," according to the Guardian.


MakeupForOlderWomen.com suggests that the best kind of foundation for older skin is matte, meaning it isn't shiny. This can come in either cream, liquid or powder. Using a foundation with a dewy finish can magnify the appearance of bags, creases and pores.
