How to Find the Best Skin Care Routine for Your Skin Type
April 24, 2017
What woman doesn’t love shopping? In fact, there’s almost no better feeling than when you slip on the perfectly-fitted pair of jeans after trying on hundreds of pairs that are too short, too tight, or plain unflattering. The same goes for finding heels that hug your feet comfortably or a little black dress that accentuates you in all the right places. And just like it might take you quite a bit of time to track down the best clothes for your body, the same can be said about your skin care routine. Sometimes, you may need to try a whole host of skin care products until you find the ones that are best-suited for your skin’s type and issues. Luckily, creating a regular skin care regimen is about to get a whole lot easier.

Skin type: dry
Skin care concern: wrinkles
The Recommended Skin Care Products
Step 1: Facial Moisturizer

Sadly, with age, wrinkles become more permanent, skin loses its resilience, and your face, neck and jawline can begin to sag (what fun we have to look forward to!). This lightweight serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid and L’Oréal’s exclusive anti-aging ingredient Pro-Xylane. The serum helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, re-volumize the look of skin, and even out skin’s texture.
How to use it: Smooth the serum of your face, neck, and jawline in the A.M. and P.M. before moisturizing.
Step 2: Eye Cream

Step 3: Sunscreen for Face

How to use it: Apply it to cleansed skin as the last step in your morning skin care routine.

Something else you have to look forward to: As your skin ages, it loses its ability to efficiently repair the visible signs of aging. This overnight mask helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and plump skin with hydration.

Age: 45-54

Skin care concern: loss of firmness
The Recommended Skin Care Products
Step 1: Facial Cleanser
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Radiant Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towelettes
We love towelettes for a reason—they’re super-convenient! When you’ve got little time to spare, these are an easy way to cleanse on the go, especially because you don’t even have to rinse your face.
How to use it: Just wipe a towelette over your complexion to get rid of dirt, impurities, and makeup.
Step 2: Face Serum
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Daily Volumizing Concentrated Serum
As you age, your skin starts to lose volume. That’s partially because levels of hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring, hydrating substance within skin) starts to decline. Say it ain’t so! This serum, formulated with hylaurnoic acid, helps to replenish skin’s surface with natural, youthful-looking fullness. Sweet!
How to use it: Apply a few drops of serum to your face using your fingertips and gently massing it in.
Step 3: Eye Cream
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Volume Filler Eye Treatment
The earliest signs of volume loss happen under the eye area. As you age, the skin here becomes thinner and loses its fullness. What that means: Sunken hollows may appear and dark circles may become more pronounced. This gel cream helps to revitalize the look of this delicate area.
How to use it: Apply a small amount around the eye area, patting it in gently until it’s fully absorbed.
Step 4: Facial Moisturizer
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Daily Volumizing Moisturizer
By now, you know that aging has quite a few effects on your complexion. And as you gradually lose volume as you age, your skin can start to look less full and vertical wrinkles can become more prominent. This moisturizer, formulated with hyaluronic acid, helps to hydrate skin, make it look fuller, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
How to use it: Smooth it over your face and jawline until the moisturizer is fully absorbed.
Step 5: Night Cream
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Volume Filler Night Cream
When it comes to your skin, sometimes you need to use a heavier cream at night. This one helps to make skin look smoother and feel more hydrated while you sleep. Go ahead and catch some Zzz’s!
How to use it: Apply the cream to your face, neck, and jawline before bed as the last step in your nightly skin care routine.
Skin Care Routine #5
Age: 55-64
Skin type: dry
Skin care concern: volume loss
The Recommended Skin Care Products

Formulated for mature skin, this hydrating moisturizer helps to improve elasticity, reduce the appearance of age spots, and provide long-lasting hydration.
How to use it: Swipe the moisturizer on after cleansing, serum, and eye cream.
Step 2: Night Cream
Product pick: L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Night Cream
Upgrade your skin care regimen by adding a night cream to your routine. This one is formulated with soy seed proteins and helps improve elasticity for more toned and supple skin. It also helps soothe increased dryness you may experience as you age.
