Taylor Swift
Our early 20s are sometimes considered the 'golden age' of our skin — we have passed the point of the sudden acne breakouts we had as teens (in some cases) and our skin needs or requires little-to-no attention. However, as we age, we realize that if we want that youthful and fresh glow to remain we must incorporate certain products that can help us out.
When we turn 25, the natural hydration process within our skin (face and body) begins to decrease, something that singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has taken into account as she gets older. The songstress shared for Elle Magazine that growing up, she didn't have the best of skincare routines. She shared, "I moisturize my face every night and put on body cream after showering, not only in the winter, but all year to feel soft in every season."
We've complied a list of items to help your search for the perfect skincare routine easier! Check out some of those amazing products below!
