Do not apply products that contain hard, toxic chemicals. Elements such as Spirits, Fragrances, Mineral Oils, Parabens, Toluene, Polyethylene glycol, Dioxane, Triclosan are some of the constituents you should keep off from your skin. If you are really particular about maintaining your youthful skin, consult a specialist to avail the right kind of treatment that would suit your individual requirement rather than trying out over the counter products. Shift to using herbal products and only those that are SLS and paraben free.

Regardless of what cosmetic product you use, a change in the daily life style effects skin. All aspects like lack of hormones, sun exposure, slow down of estrogen, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and environmental factors like pollution, poor eating practices and deficiency of exercise all add to an unhealthy looking skin. Make a routine including diet exercise and follow it for minimum of 3 weeks for making this a habit.

Take supplements on consultation with your doctor that will help your body manufacture its collagen and elastin supply which is the key to begetting healthy looking skin. Red and dark green vegetable boost collagen production.
