Now, let’s get down to business!
What Happens to Your Skin After 30?
Typically, your skin begins to experience slight but not-so-visible changes from your mid-20s. But after you’ve entered 30, effects from these changes tend to become more noticeable. At first, it begins with a reduced rate of skin cell reproduction. And then, it transcends to a decrease in collagen and elastin. Gradually, effects from these processes begin to trigger the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and potential dryness. Furthermore, due to overtime exposure to sun rays, the skin will also start developing more visible pigmentation changes, such as brown spots and age spots.
Wrinkles and fine lines at this age usually first appear around the eyes or at the corners of the mouth. As time goes on, you may also notice them around the forehead area. Aside from reduced collagen and elastin, over time, the effects of repetitive facial expressions also contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. While this natural process cannot be stopped, it’s possible to minimize its effects on your skin. So, now is the best time to adjust your skincare regimen to suit your skin’s new needs.
Recommended Skincare Routine After 30
Since you’ve clocked 30, your skincare regimen should focus on boosting your collagen & elastin, preventing sun damage, and improving your skin cell turnover rate. Not to mention cutting down on unhealthy lifestyle choices, which can impact your skin negatively, such as smoking, blue light overexposure, poor diet, poor skin care, and so on.
Now we’ve established some healthy skincare habits to adopt at this new stage of your life, let’s go over a 6-step simple skincare routine for your 30s. Please note that these routines are just the basics and can fit most skin types. But you can also get in touch with us for FREE if you require a more personalized routine based on your specific skin type.
Gentle but Deep Cleansing
As you already know, this is usually the first step in most skincare routines. It entails removing dirt, germs, impurities, and possible make-up remnants from your skin. It’s an essential step for both morning and night skincare routines. At this age, use gentle cleansers with antioxidant-rich ingredients, such as our Bleach Cream Soap. This nourishing cleanser, laced with aloe vera, can add to your skin health while minimizing the appearance of blemishes on your skin.
Tone and Exfoliate as Needed
After cleansing, the next step will be to use a unifying or exfoliating toner. A good toner, such as our Bleach Toner, won’t just remove the remaining dirt after you must have cleansed; it will also work on unifying your skin’s complexion for a more youthful appearance.
Then, to boost your slowing skin cell turnover cycle, we recommend exfoliating at least twice a week. Aside from regeneration, this routine will also help prevent dead skin cells from clogging your pores.
Treat Your Eye Area
As stated earlier, initial appearances of wrinkles or fine lines usually start from your eye area and at the corner of your mouth. To reinforce these delicate eye areas and ensure they are plump and firm, apply a rejuvenating formula such as our Collagen Elastin Eye Cream. This active formula can also lighten the appearance of dark circles and reduce puffy eyes.
Targeted Treatment with Serums
Based on your skin concerns at this stage, add serum to target that specific issue. In your 30s, you most likely may start dealing with the formation of new fine lines, dryness, tiny wrinkles, and slight pigmentation issues in certain cases. To plump and deeply hydrate your skin, we recommend using our Hyaluronic Acid Serum. This hydrating formula penetrates your skin to deliver the right amount of moisture you need. Add retinol-rich serum, such as our Shovalit Serum, to your night routine to intensively address the newly forming fine lines and wrinkles.
Moisturize To Lock in Moisture
After targeted treatments, deeply moisturize to lock-in moisturize and the added nutrients to your skin. At this stage, dryness and reduced collagen & elastin may be a major concern. Consider moisturizers rich in glycerin, antioxidants, or SPF, such as our Vitamin C Moisturizers + SPF 25 and Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer. To combine both, you can use vitamin C in your morning routine and then hyaluronic acid at night. Altogether, these anti-aging formulas are designed to keep your skin fresh, firm, plumped, and youthful. Vitamin C reduces dark spots and uneven skin tone, while the latter smoothes your skin.
24-Hour UV Protection
This step should be the last but one of the most essential in your morning routine. It focuses on protecting your skin against the effects of damaging free radicals from the sun. These radicals, if left alone, can significantly damage your skin, leading to premature aging, wrinkles, fine lines, and other issues.
To protect your skin, we recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. One of the challenges associated with this step is the ability to apply and reapply your sunscreen at intervals, especially if you’re under the sun. To curb this issue, why not use our 24-hour SunBlock SPF 50, which you only need to apply once a day? Check them out!
