Switching up your skincare routine as you advance in age helps your skin to be in optimal condition at all times and getting to know what products to use and how to use them are the best ways to combat any skin concerns that usually develop as we age.
Beauty Skin Specialist and writer, Judith Emmanuel will be taking a look at the types of skincare products to use at different ages.
Skincare in your 20’s
This is the best time to establish a proper skincare routine to help keep adult acne and other skin conditions in check. It is much easier to achieve if you cultivated the skincare routine habit in your late teenage years into your 20’s. The products you need to help you establish a simple and appropriate skincare routine are:
Ensure to develop the habit of applying a sunscreen every day. Using a sunscreen helps mitigate the dangers of UV damage and skin cancer when overly exposed to the sun’s rays. At this age, we are more active outdoors, so using a sunscreen daily will be your best bet to keep your skin in good health.
Make use of a gentle facial cleanser. Using a gentle facial cleanser will allow your skin the ability to build up its protection barrier. Some facial cleanser with active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, when used regularly can compromise the skin protection barrier and this can lead to future skin damage.
Use a good at-home exfoliating product. Products containing alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid are best used at most 3 times a week. They help slough off dead skin cells and encourage faster skin cell renewal. At this age, boosting your skin’s cell turnover will help skin build it’s barrier better to prevent inflammation and other burdening skin concerns.
Include vitamins in your skincare routine. Vitamins such as vitamins B3 and C encourage collagen synthesis and proper ceramics formation. These vitamins also help strengthen skin cells and fight off free radical damage as it usually occurs when being overexposed to sun rays.
Skincare in your 30’s
Skincare in your 30’s are little bit similar to that of your 20’s with the inclusion of other procedures that will support optimal dead skin shedding and boost hydration.
Some of the extras to be included in your 30’s regimen inclusive of the above in your 20’s are:
Addition of products containing hyaluronic acid and other skin hydrating ingredients. You can be sure to experience more dehydration in your skin at this age because the skin regeneration tends to slow down and trans epidermal water loss is often experienced. Products, usually serums, containing hyaluronic acid, vegetable glycerin, propanediol, etc are best incorporated into your skincare routine to help boost skin hydration and keep plump.
Seek professional peel treatment. Meeting with an esthetician or dermatologist to carry out professional peels and follow up procedure will help skin be more youthful and give radiance.
I will stress again on the use of sunscreen as about 50% of skin issues can be treated or prevented with daily application.
Include antioxidant products in your skincare routine. Antioxidants will help fight free radical damage and assist in the repair of skin cells which is often what is experienced at this age.
Skincare in your 40’s
Your skin’s cell regeneration slows down even more at this age and this is the most suitable time to incorporate products containing caffeine. Caffeine in skincare is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It also modifies microcirculation thereby reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles.
Seek professional expertise on dermal fillers such as Botox as this will help keep skin tight for longer periods and prevent sagging.
Incorporate more vitamin C and B3 products into your regimen. These vitamins will help in slowing down the aging process.
Most importantly, make use of products containing resveratrol. This is an ingredient that reasonably slows down aging process by reversing environmental damage, fighting free radicals and smoothening overall skin.
These outlines are a guide to help you build up and be consistent with your skincare routine in other to have a skin free of imperfections. Whatever choice of products you make, ensure to incorporate thus guide so as to achieve hood results!
