The American Academy of Dermatology recommends the following to protect your skin as you age: wear sunscreen when you’re outside; don’t smoke; inspect your skin regularly for signs of skin cancer; determine your skin type, such as oily or dry, and use products formulated for that type; use warm water and a gentle cleanser when washing your face; wash your face before bed, when you wake, and after you sweat; and find ways to manage stress.
