All of us want to look youthful, radiant, and healthy—but as we age, that can sometimes get a little harder. Once you get into your 30s, for example, you may find that it’s not as simple as it used to be to maintain a bright, clear complexion. Some basic shifts to your daily skincare routine can work wonders, however—helping you to keep looking and feeling your best even as you enter a new decade of life.
Skincare in Your 30s: 6 Tips
1. Reassess your favorite skincare products.
All of us have different skin types—and the products that work well for her skin may leave yours too irritated or too dry. In other words, if your skin isn’t looking its best, it may be that you need to rethink the products you use, seeking something that’s more moisturizing, better for sensitive skin, etc. You can always meet with a skincare professional for recommendations.
2. Cleanse daily.
It’s imperative to wash your face daily, using a cleanser that’s right for your skin type. All the grease and debris that accumulates on your face over the course of a day can ultimately clog your pores and ruin your complexion, making cleansing a vital step.
3. Exfoliate, too.
As you clean, also use a good exfoliator—something that will help you scrub away old, dead skin cells. Again, without the right daily routine, you may find your pores clogged by those old skin cells.
4. Keep your skin hydrated.
This one is just good common sense: Without the proper hydration, your skin will get dry, at which point it may also start to crack. To keep your skin looking its best, hydration is key—and that means drinking plenty of water. It means not over-cleansing your skin. And it means adding moisturizing products to your daily line-up.
5. Look into some anti-aging products.
No, turning 30 doesn’t mean you’re “old”—but it does mean your skin may start to show some of the effects of time. There are a number of anti-aging products that work well, and a skincare specialist can recommend a few that will fit your needs.
6. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
Don’t underestimate the damage that can be done by even a little bit of exposure to the sun. Wear sunscreen any time you’re going to be outside for more than a couple of minutes. And remember that the sun can be bright and intense even on cold winter days!
