Why?
Again, aging is just a natural part of life and the signs just happen to show in your skin. Mainly two factors are at play when it comes to skin aging: natural hormonal, biological changes to your body and your unhealthy habits. Among some of the unhealthy habits that might accelerate skin-aging includes not wearing any sunscreen so your skin is directly exposed to UV light, unhealthy diet and eating habits, and smoking.20’s
Your skin is still young at this point and you may not even be experiencing the signs of aging skin yet. Feel free to dedicate your skincare regimen to a more individual and personal skin concern but make sure to take preventive measures before it all begins too fast, too soon. Creating a daily routine for healthier skin is a must. Always wear sunscreen before outdoor activities and remember to finish your day with a light layer of eye cream. In your 20’s, finding the right cleansing routine should be your biggest skincare project. Depending on your skin type, see if your skin works best with a traditional foaming cleanser, gel-type, or oil-based cleanser. Just by doing your cleansing right, you are doing a whole lot for your skin already.
30’s
In your 30’s, you may start to notice skin issues like discoloration and hyperpigmentation that hadn’t been an issue in your 20’s. Retinol, also known as vitamin A, tackles discoloration and hyperpigmentation most effectively by boosting collagen production. Retinol also mediates the healing process, helping restore skin cells, which makes it the perfect solution for uneven skin tone due to acne wounds.
40’s
Your 40’s is all about taking the skincare in your 30’s to another level. Fine lines that you started noticing in your 30’s have now become more pronounced and freckles and blemishes last longer before it fades. This is mostly because your skin loses its elasticity and thickness in your 40’s, making “resilience” the key to 40’s anti-aging regimen. This is when you may want to start going easy on exfoliation and strengthen your skin with lipids, fatty acids, and ceramides.
50’s and older
Your 50’s should be all about moisturizing. As you enter your 50’s, you will notice dehydration in your skin soon after using a moisturizer. You need to find a way to moisturize your skin from within and add moisture often throughout the day using a facial mist. You might want to consider switching to serums and ampoules instead of the regular moisturizer if you are looking for ways to boost hydration. Habits like this go a long way.
