Beauty can be intimidating and something that can be diffi cult to see in ourselves. And when we do recognize beauty in ourselves, it often comes with harsh stereo- types and external pressures to maintain it. This is important for your self-esteem, of course, but also for your health. Here are some successful, beautiful women and what they have to say about beauty. “Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.” — Zoe Kravitz “While bangs don’t look good on ev- eryone, confi dence does.” — Lauren Conrad “No one can make you feel inferior without your con- sent.” — Eleanor Roosevelt Acrylic & Gel Nails Salon 7 Permanent Make-up Hair Services & Nails Spray Tan Teeth Whitening 541-942-7777 $ 2,599 2,349 * 1007 E.

A Beauty Regimen for Every Age As you age, your skin changes, and your beauty routine should, too. But most people stick with the same routine they’ve been practicing since high school, hoping for the same results. Here’s how to put your best face forward at every age. PRESERVE AND PROTECT Your teens and 20s should be all about preserv- ing the assets of youth with your skin care regimen. Acne may be an issue, and scars should be treated promptly. Start with a good foaming cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF. Add a spot treatment or an intense night serum for moisturizing. If acne is more than just the occasional breakout or is large and painful, a trip to the dermatologist might be in order. EXFOLIATE AND REPAIR As you near the end of 30s, your skin is no longer exfoliating naturally as often as it once did – about once a month as opposed to the every two weeks it exfoliated in your teens and 20s. It may be time to switch to a gentle exfoliating cleanser or use an exfoliating mask once a week. If you are lucky enough to avoid fi ne lines around your eyes in your 30s, they will most certainly fi nd you in your 40s. Give your eyes an extra surge of hydration with a good eye cream. davesplacesalon.com 704 E. Whiteaker • 541-942-4353 Cottage Grove, OR 97424 Whistle Stop Barber Shop 258 E.

As we reach our senior years, we are even more prone to dryness. In fact, the most common skin conditions and skin infec- tions affecting the elderly start with severely dry skin. If you haven’t already, it’s time to switch to a nonfoaming cleanser, as well as a retinoid and pep- tide-rich serum. Look for moisturizers with hyaluronic acid in them. And, as always, consult your dermatol- ogist for proper treatments for problem areas.
