• Eat a healthy diet! Include plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy fats! Especially beneficial are blueberries, tomatoes, nuts, seeds and fish or fish oils.
• Drink lots of water and herbal tea. Aim for 2 – 3 liters a day to flush toxins from your body and get your skin glowing.
• Take exercise and get some fresh air every day. On colder days, or if you do not have the energy, enjoy a reviving steam bath.
• Establish a regular skin care regime. Oil and moisture are skin essentials and, as we age, need to be restored with the help of products. Anti-oxidants and vitamins help protect against free radicals, boost cell renewal and keep skin looking fresh.
• Wear sun screen. Mineral based sun screens protect against skin cancer and aging. Chose an SPF (sun protection factor) according to time spent outside.
• Get your beauty sleep! At least 7 hours a night will ease dark circles and puffiness in the eye area and reduce any skin irritations or redness.

Key complaints: Internal aging begins and the build-up of environmental damage starts to show. Re-evaluate your skin care regime, as products that may have worked well in your 20's can become less effective. Lavera Solutions: Get each day off to a great start with 3 in 1 Cleanser, followed by Hydro Sensation Day Moisturizer; use Repair Absolute at night. Introduce Ultimate Eye Cream as a daily essential to combat fine lines; and wear Anti-Age Sun Screen to combat aging on face, neck and hands.

Key complaints: The skin's collagen and elastin network, and its hyaluronic acid layer, gradually breaks down, reducing its ability to support and retain moisture. As a result, wrinkles appear, especially around the eyes and between the nose and mouth. Lavera solutions: Boost your skin's ability to lift, hydrate and firm. Introduce Lifting Serum for extra moisture and cell renewal in areas starting to showing lines, and remember to use Ultimate Eye Cream everyday. As in your 30's, Anti-Age Sun Screen is a must to help prevent further aging.'

Key complaints: Facial skin thins, as it lacks oil and water, and can be uneven in color and texture. Hands may have spots due to sun exposure and age, and need special care. Overall, skin craves extra nourishment and support. Lavera solutions: Treat thinning skin to a routine of highly nourishing products for face, neck and décolleté. Be sure to include Lifting Serum, Ultimate Eye Cream and Lip Expert on a daily basis for extra hydration and effective cell renewal. Don't forget Anti-Age Sun Screen for protection on face, neck and hands.

Key complaints: Just as your body goes through hormonal upheavals and changes, so your skin becomes more sensitive, stretched and delicate. Susceptibility to sun also increases as hormones secreted by the placenta stimulate melanin, the color pigmentation of the skin. As a result, skin tans more easily and hyper pigmentation (darker patches) can occur, though this often goes away after childbirth. Lavera solutions: Comfort upset skin with Special Effect Mask, which deeply hydrates and lends an instant sensation of well-being. Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible and protect yourself with Lavera's natural sunscreens. For the safest color, skip the sun and fake a pregnancy bloom with Teint Balance SPF5 Tinted Day Cream.

Key complaints: Rosacea occurs in many people after 30, especially those with fair complexions that blush easily. Persistent facial redness, bumps, pimples and small visible blood vessels are all indicators of rosacea. Lavera solutions: Choose a balancing, soothing moisturizer and make the most of night time to repair and calm skin with Repair Absolute Intensive Night Cream. An all-natural sunscreen of SPF 20 or higher is crucial.
