I have a best friend who's 54. She spent loads of time outside in the sun when she was younger, and hasn't stopped (which she knows is a no-no), though she does now use a sun screen when she's outside.
Several years ago she knew her skin was probably damaged, and she started getting fairly regular facials to help offset the damage she knew she'd done in the sun. I have to say that her skin looks wonderful. It would surprise me that her facialist would do different things based on what she saw in my friend's skin -- it wasn't just always the same thing based on oily or dry skin, for instance.
I have never had a facial even though I've seen such good results in her -- maybe now's the time to start!
Here's an at-home facial routine for those of us who can't or don't care to get a professional facial right now. It uses commercial products available pretty much anywhere:
