(Ecns.cn)--If you are still relying on makeup or even considering cosmetic surgery to compensate for the annoyance of aging skin, you might need to catch-up with the latest strategies: people now are looking inward to maintain a youthful appearance.

By making lifestyle changes and choosing anti aging products that suit the skin, your aging process can be delayed , abeit not easily.

However, before following any skin care advice, you should probably conduct a self- test to see if you are troubled with mature skin problems at all; otherwise, any of the following tips could do nothing but harm to physiologically different younger skin.

Our skin starts to mature at age 25-30, to a degree that varies from person to person. To a great extent, deterioration rates are connected to personal lifestyles: whether you smoke; regularly stay up late; or drink too much coffee or other stimulating beverages, and so on.

The self-exam is simple. Once the skin starts to age, a few fine lines might climb out around the eyes and a little puffiness sets in too. The hands and neck might thin and wrinkle. Freckles and black spots, if there were any in the past, tend to grow in number and size.

Furthermore, you might feel the aging process in your daily life. Once the skin gets sensitive to weather changes or feels extremely dry on a daily basis, when you develop flabby cheeks or fine lines appear around the mouth, and should cheekbones become more prominent as the fatty tissue wastes away, we have entered the stage that calls for an assessment of diet and lifestyle.

In order to protect mature skin, here are 6 anti aging tips that you may badly need.

1. Never overexpose yourself to the sun. Sun damage, or photo-aging, is one of the primary causes of rapid maturation. A good skin care regimen includes protecting your skin from harm, especially from the sun's deadly ultraviolet rays. They cause deep wrinkles, age spots, and a leathery skin texture. It is recommended that people stay out of the sun, or use sun block with SPF 15 or higher. The daily use of a sun blocking agent is a must.

2. Choose proper moisturizers. Not all mature skin requires the same skin care solution, which means you have to carefully choose one that suits you personally. For the right product you might want to consult a dermatologist. In general, a serum nourishes and protects without leaving an oily residue or drying out your skin, making it perfect for combination skin types. Also avoid purchasing cleansers that contain alcohol.
