If there’s anything I look forward to aging, it’s the introduction of a new skin care routine, each time, coupled with healthier lifestyle choices and more conscious, me-loving decisions. Read our quick skin care guide for every decade of your life:
The twenties are the best times and if you’re planning on making foolish mistakes, I fully support it—that’s how you’ll learn anyway. My only advice is: don’t do it at the expense of your skin. Now is the time to quit no-good habits, such as smoking, stress-eating, and sleeping late nights, among others.
MUSTS IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE:
An acne-fighting product that won’t leave you with scars and marks. Try this pimple patch and do your very best not to pick on your pimples!
No matter how stressful life gets, make sure to wash your face daily with a gentle cleanser , in the morning and before you sleep.
Your skin’s at its best now, but it won’t hurt to begin with serums! Start with a moisturizing serum —your future self will thank you for it.
Don’t forget your sunscreen! At least SPF 50 is recommended. Try a base that already contains SPF!
Once you hit your thirties, you’ll go anti-aging crazy. And it’s only right to panic, if it’s to give you a wakeup call to start levelling up your skin care. In your thirties, your skin loses its bounce and elasticity, and the dermis loses support. Fight it with these products:
MUSTS IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE:
By now your skin must’ve accumulated a lot of dirt and grime from the outside world, so add a mechanical or chemical exfoliating product into your routine.
Bring on the moisture with this snail essence!
Add an antioxidant serum with Vitamin C to even out your skin tone (a.k.a. address the scars you might’ve gotten from your roaring twenties!)
Start paying attention to your under eyes and neck. Here’s an eye patch to start with.
Forties is the start of the pre-menopausal stage, which also means lots of hormonal changes. It’s highly likely that these bodily changes will have noticeable effects on your skin’s health, too. Wrinkles and fine lines start to appear, due to the breakage of collagen and natural fibers.
MUSTS IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE:
Introduce potent ingredients to target your anti-aging woes, such as retinol.
Promote collagen production with a serum that’s formulated to do exactly that!
Add a night cream to apply all over your face and neck.
Continue to mask regularly. Choose a mask with rejuvenating properties.
