Tips for Healthy Skin Throughout the Decades

Lots of things can change throughout your lifetime. Your hairstyle, your fashion sense, your taste in music are all probably different than they were 5, 10 or 15 years ago. But that’s natural. As people age, they also change. Your skin is no different. The skin you have in your 20s is different than the skin you will have in your 30s and 40s. Because of this, it has different needs and requires a different skincare routine to keep it healthy year after year. If you’re still sticking to the same cleansing and maintenance routine you used 10 years ago, it might be time to analyze what you’re doing and make sure it still works for the skin you have. For skin that looks great year after year after year, understand how to create the right blend of good skin care products and treatments for the decade you’re in. 

 

20s

 

There are a lot of big life changes that often happen in your 20s. Graduating college, starting a career, building a family and celebrating similar life events with your friends can be pretty time-consuming; but don’t let being too busy make you forget to make your skin a priority. As early as possible (preferably long before your 20s), you should be using sunscreen on a daily basis on your face and body and limiting sun exposure during the mid-day when the rays are strongest. Doing this and avoiding skin enemies like smoking will pay off in later years. While you probably not so happy about it, you may still be experiencing adult acne in your 20s. Find a product that helps your acne but isn’t overly drying or irritating.

30s

 

You’ve lived a lot by the time you get to your 30s. At this point, you may also start to see your skin changing and aging slightly. The everyday stresses of life can start to show, and it’s time to start finding products that are gentle and help fix discoloration and skin texture woes that may happen in your 30s. First, find a good anti aging eye cream. Most women can understand the frustration of dealing with eye circles that don’t go away even after a good night’s sleep. Second, start thinking about the ingredients in the products that you use and look for ones that don’t contain parabens and sulfates, which can be harsh and drying. Third, find a good brightening makeup or nighttime serum to help retain even skin color.

40s

 

In the 40s, anti-aging starts to be a focus for many women. Be discerning when choosing eye creams, moisturizers, serums and more and make sure you’re buying from reputable companies. In this decade, you may want to find a richer moisturizer as your skin may start to lose elasticity and radiance that it once had. At this point, you may also notice more inconsistencies in the tone and texture of your skin, which can be improved by good skin care products, including the right serum or color correcting makeup.
