Skin Care in your 30's
The 30's are a time when you've settled into your career. You may have a beautiful family or be beautifully single. You feel comfortable and confident in your fabulous shoes, though you may be noticing a few wrinkles in your path - or on your face. But there are many things you can do to prevent aging, sun damage, and treat your skin well.The first is to Stop sun tanning! And adopt an anti-aging skin care routine.
Nowadays with women smoking and scorching their skin outdoors and in tanning beds even more, skin care in your 30's has evolved from working exclusively on prevention to a heavy dose of skin treatment as well.
Limit Sun Exposure
Excessive sun exposure in your earlier years has caused wrinkles and fine lines, in addition to drying your skin. So, reversing the damage from your earlier golden years is important by adding anti-aging products to your routine. And for any age: sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!
Anti-Aging Building Blocks
In your 30's, you build on the skin care regimen of your 20's - typically a cleanser, exfoliating product, and moisturizer - by incorporating anti-aging formulas. One such product is an eye cream, which can be effective as a preventative measure and treatment.
Though many products help with darkness around the eye and smoothing wrinkles and lines, it's good to know which ingredient is doing what. Look for eye creams that include Retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, copper, and vitamin C, because they stimulate collagen growth. Ingredients like vitamin K, kojic acid, and hydroquinone lighten the dark circles around the eyes.
Just as wrinkles around the eyes begin to appear, so do the fine lines on the rest of your face.
Again, blame your collagen, or the lack thereof, for dwindling as you age. Because retinoid products, derivatives of vitamin A, stimulate the production of collagen, they reduce brown spots, smooth wrinkles and other signs of aging. Unlike many anti-aging formulas, retinoids' efficacy has been well documented in the research.
Acne
These products also help treat acne. Though you're thinking acne is an unattractive blemish of the past, unfortunately, it doesn't completely disappear in your 30's. Instead it arrives before and during your period.
Retinoid products are offered by prescription only and do have side effects of redness and irritation. Dermatologists, however, say these side effects will last about 4 to 6 weeks after which you'll reap the glowing benefits. Retinol products are offered over the counter, but are less potent and not as effective as retinoid treatments.
Moisturise
You should also start using serums daily, which are said to penetrate deep into the skin and provide hydration, giving radiance to a dull complexion. Always apply serums before your moisturiser.
Your skin care routine will contain many steps - sunscreen, cleanser, exfoliating product, eye cream, serum, and other anti-aging products. Though this seems like way too much, remember you only have one face, so treat it with kindness, and with some great effective products.
Hand Care
Don't forget about your hands. By now your skin is thinning and losing moisture, so using a hand cream is crucial. Just like your face, hands can reveal your true age. Hands adorned with sun spots, discoloration, and a dry cracked surface won't exactly tell the most youthful story.
Make sure to apply lotion with ingredients like glycerin and shea butter. Other great emollient options include using a thick face cream or hand balm. Along with a moisturising product, don't forget to apply sunscreen to your hands.
You can slather on all the cream you want, but with unprotected sun exposure, you'll still end up with sun spots, discoloration, and dried out hands.
All in all, remember that quitting bad habits - smoking and sunbathing - is also vital to healthy skin. Drink in moderation. And as you’re purchasing anti-aging products for your skin care routine, make sure to research these formulas.
