Skincare routine under 30
"As we approach 30 years old, our mind and body change, and with them, so does our skin."
As we age, taking care of our skin carefully and with the right products becomes increasingly important to keep it young and healthy for as long as possible.
In this article, we delve into the changes our skin undergoes over time and discover some useful tips to keep it beautiful and radiant.
What happens to the skin as we approach 30 years old?
To begin with, it is reasonable to ask what happens to our skin as we approach 30 years of age. As we get closer to this age, processes occur in our body that also reflect on the appearance of our skin. The particular factors responsible for the appearance of the first signs of aging are hormonal levels and collagen production. Both act as "glues" between the cells of our skin, thus determining a compact, smooth, and toned appearance. Unfortunately, however, as time goes by, hormonal levels and collagen production begin to decline. Cell turnover also starts to slow down, and the skin is unable to recover completely and quickly as it did in the past.
So what can we do concretely to keep our skin young and beautiful for longer?
Helpful Tips
To take care of one's skin, one can follow the advice of some dermatologists.
Recognize your skin
The most important advice of all is to commit to recognizing your own skin. As age advances, the appearance of the skin can change, and what can really make a difference is the observation and recognition of this change. It may seem trivial, but it is not at all because in reality, the skin should be treated not so much based on its chronological age, but on its appearance. Dry skin is always dry skin, whether you are fifteen, twenty, or thirty years old. This type of skin will need rich and nourishing formulations that allow for hydration and plumping of the skin.
The skin, however, changes; it can suddenly become oily and rich in impurities or particularly dry and parched. Whatever it may be, understanding the change and accepting it is essential to adopting an appropriate skincare routine.
Moisturize
The first rule to follow for longer-lasting smooth skin is to deeply hydrate it using the right products. It may seem strange, but it's true: hydration prevents wrinkles. If the skin is well-hydrated, "fine lines" will not form, and it will appear smooth and even.
What does it mean to deeply hydrate it? It means using the right products in the correct order: from the most fluid to the densest.. Yes, it works this way because the more liquid product is also the one that will penetrate better into our skin. Based on this principle, one should always apply, as the first product, a serum containing an active ingredient suitable for the skin's needs. Then, proceed with applying a good moisturizer and finally with the product that has a denser and richer formulation: sunscreen or a product containing SPF.
All of this is essential to ensure that the investment in one's skincare routine actually leads to results. When products are used in the wrong way and in the wrong order, you will literally have thrown away money investing in something that is not being fully utilized and in the best possible way.
Few products but good
What has been said about hydration and the order of product use leads us to one last but very important piece of advice: use few but good products. Social media and influencers often lead us to believe that for healthy and beautiful skin, many products, long and complex skincare routines, and habits that are difficult to maintain over time are necessary. However, the reality is different: it would be enough to choose a few targeted and effective products.
