The Habits You Develop In Your 30's Impact Your Skin For Life
Recognizing the habits we develop in the '30s will significantly impact how old your skin will look (chronological age) when you are older, is the first and best skincare routine for those in their 30s.
These habits, which I call aging culprits, can make you look 10-15 years older. Add that to the natural aging process, and you can look like you are in your late 50's when you hit your 40th birthday. Not something I want!
Aging Culprits:
- Overexposure to the sun
- Not Wearing A Safe SPF
- Stress
- Not Eating Enough Vegetables And Fruits~ Guess your mom knew something!
- Not Getting At Least 8 Hours Of Sleep
- Exposing Ourselves To Dangerous Elements (like smoking, vaping, pollution)
- Not Properly Hydrating The Body
- Too Much Alcohol
- Not Making Healthy Life Choices
- Lack Of Physical Activity
- Not Having A Daily Skincare Routine In Place
- Various chemicals found in different beauty products can cause a loss of tone and elasticity of the skin, resulting in premature aging.
Find Time For Your Skin In Your 30s
In your 30's you are going to start to see the signs of aging. So make sure you are finding the time to address these issues. I know I've heard many people say that I just do not have time and end up skipping skincare altogether. DON'T DO THIS. You must find time for your skin, even if it is just three minutes a day!
In your thirties, it’s all about preventative measures—by using the right products, you can invest in your skin now, which is more efficient and less costly than trying to correct conditions later on. See some of our must below.
The Best Way To Exfoliate Your The Skin In Your 30s
You see, as we age, the process of desquamation slows down, meaning that our body is slower to shed dead skin cells and produce new ones. Exfoliating is one of the best ways to speed up your natural cell turnover to uncover the fresh, healthy skin underneath the layers of dead surface skin cells.So touching on the best way to exfoliate in your 30s. Well, there are many different exfoliation products that you can choose from to add to your skincare routine. See some of them below.
- Physical exfoliants, like clay or charcoal are applied to the skin and massaged in with your hands.
- Chemical exfoliants work by using a blend of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids.
- Manual exfoliation using a skincare device like a Spa Science, Nova.
Treat Yourself To A Facial Massage
Stress in our 30s can cause you to often suffer from skin fatigue or dullness or occasional breakouts. It could result from poor circulation, which leads to toxins building up in your skin cells. An occasional facial massage encourages lymphatic drainage and circulation to remove these pollutants from your skin. It helps to improve the appearance of your skin and make it more luminous and healthier.
Double Cleanse For Healthier Skin In Your 30's
Cleansing is a clear path to beautiful skin. In addition to removing makeup from the day, it eliminates oil, dirt, and impurities from your skin so that it can repair itself overnight. Unfortunately, a single cleanse isn't always enough to remove all the dirt and grime from your skin. That is why you should opt for a double cleanse.
Start with an oil-based cleanser to attract the oil from your skin. You can then proceed to the second cleanse, which deep cleanses your pores.
What Is The Best Eye Cream For People In Their 30s
The area around your eyes is one of the first areas to develop fine lines because it is much thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. An eye cream with ingredients such as CBD oil is the best eye cream that will help prevent lines from forming and minimize the look of dark circles and puffiness.
Slather On A Serum
In our 30's is the time we will see the loss of collagen and elastin. Both can lead to the start of fine lines, like those pesky 11's between your eyes or those crow's feet starting to show around the eye area.
Be sure to add a focused treatment serum to your skincare regimen.
Moisturize Your Skin Daily In Your 30s
To set yourself up for future skin success, you need to be using a moisturizer daily. Dehydrated skin is one of the number one culprits for the skin to appear older than it is.
Many factors come into play when determining the best type of moisturizer to use for your skin. Applying a moisturizer is a crucial step in your skincare routine in your 30s. Especially since your oil production is declining. There are tons of amazing moisturizers to use in your 30s; the best way to decide is to conduct exhaustive research to determine what to apply after a steam facial and other beauty routine practices.
Use A Prescription Strength Retinol
Skincare can be costly, so if you are looking for an affordable skincare routine in your 30s, stick with this one product, a prescription-strength retinol, which will allow you to eliminate some of the above skincare tips.
Retinol (Vitamin A) is a one-stop ingredient that unclogs pores, boosts collagen to reduce fine lines, and speeds cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin.
Drink Plenty Of Water For Glowing Skin
This is one thing that many do not realize is a crucial step in skincare as dehydrated skin is one of the major causes of premature aging. Dehydration in the skin weakens its defense and creates skin sensitivity, irritation, and premature aging.
If you have difficulty consuming 6-8 glasses of water a day, consider adding fruit. One excellent fruit for anti-aging is lemons, as it also works as an internal detox of toxins that cause premature aging.
To Sum It Up
Healthier, younger-looking skin is easier to maintain when it is preventive. If you wait too long, it will become treating and repairing, and you will age quicker. Please, do not be one of those who wake up tomorrow and wonder why I look so old; what happened? With a commitment to a skincare regimen in your 30s, you can rest easy knowing that your radiant, healthy complexion will last a lifetime.
