Googling ‘best skin care routine for 30s’? Same.
I don’t know about you, but I love a good list that tells me what rules to follow and which products to buy.
This is one of those lists.
Only, you won’t see seventy million products on it.
This is because the idea that you need more (or more expensive) skincare products with every birthday that passes is a myth.
Rather than buying skin care based on what you “should” be using at “your age”, choosing products for your individual skin type and concerns is the most efficient and cost-effective way to see a change in your skin.
That goes for any age group.
But today, we're talking about skin care in your 30s.
So, let's understand the most common skin concerns people experience in their 30s to help narrow down your search.
Recap: Skin in Your 30s.
According to Alpha-H's Clinical Training and Education Manager LeeAnne Leslie, your 30s is when the first visible signs of premature ageing start feeling more noticeable.
“By the time we reach our 30s, our skin has been exposed to a significant amount of external stress."
The result? Signs of premature ageing like fine lines, uneven skin tone and texture, and hyperpigmentation.
LeeAnne says you also might have noticed your 30s skin is looking duller than it did in your 20s.
“This is because the rate of skin turnover decreases as we age, causing a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface and contributing to a lacklustre appearance.”
So that’s the why behind 30s skincare, but...
What should I put on my face, you ask?
Spoiler: The answer isn’t more products or an eight-step routine.
Instead, let's focus on implementing a consistent regimen of a few key products clinically-proven to target those skin concerns.
