HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN AFTER 30
How to care for skin after 30. What cream and what procedures should be used.
INNA CODRU , MARCH 04, 2019
When you reach 30, your body gradually ceases to resist the aging process. At this point, cells begin to die more often than they are born, and the metabolism begins to slow down. We want to preserve the youth of the cells, maintaining the speed of their recovery. All your skin care should be focused on this.
Of course, after 30, you are likely to have more stressful situations. You probably have a job, children, spouses and financial problems. Maybe you have less and less time for yourself. And, in fact, skin care itself tends to take a step back, even if you know you need to focus on it. Therefore, procedures are needed to maintain healthy skin, which will take only a few minutes a day.
We are ready to offer an excellent skin care option after your 30s. This is the best option for those who are loaded with life's worries, but want to preserve youth and beauty of the skin.
CHANGE THE TYPE OF MAKEUP PRODUCTS
Even before you start thinking about clearing your skin, you need to take a look at the type of makeup you are wearing. Many women understand the need for the skin to "breathe". And they, from time to time, avoid the use of makeup.
If you don't want to wear makeup, then there's nothing wrong with that. However, you don't have to give up makeup entirely. But what you really need to do is to focus on the types of makeup that you use on a day-to-day basis.
It's more than just finding makeup that suits your skin type. While this is certainly important (and you'll appreciate it over time), it's also important to look for cosmetics that offer UV protection.
Direct sunlight is extremely harmful to the skin. They kill cells and dry out the skin. And can lead to dark spots and other signs of aging, and even cause skin cancer. Getting all possible protection from this is very important. Sunscreen is important, but you can also get an extra layer of protection with makeup. This is especially important for the face, which is more sensitive to UV rays.
So when you're picking up makeup, pay more attention to types that include UV protection. Yes, you will spend more in the short term, but you will save a lot more in the long run.
Of course, you still want to make sure the makeup is right for your skin type. If you have large pores and an oily skin type, look for non-comedogenic options to help prevent clogged skin pores. It's also important to make sure to always remove all makeup at the end of the day, which brings us to the next part of our optimal skin care routine.
When you cross the milestone of 30 years, your skin type will change. Make sure you always buy products that are right for your current skin type, not the ones that were right for you when you were younger.
REMOVE ALL MAKE-UP AT THE END OF THE DAY
Never go to bed with makeup on your face. It doesn't matter if it's full makeup, just foundation, or even just eyeliner. You must ensure that all makeup has been removed to free up the skin pores. Although your makeup offers some protection, it can still accumulate dirt and oil. All this will eventually settle in your pores and your skin will react accordingly.
Bacteria will accumulate in the pores during the night. And bacteria will lead to inflammation and acne. This is no longer dependent on the type of makeup (even if you use the right type for your skin), the skin will simply react to the lack of proper care.
Use a good cleanser to remove makeup. If you leave makeup on your face, it will stain your pillows, and then even if you remove your makeup, dirt and bacteria from the pillows will migrate to your face while you sleep.
Don't forget about your neck too. You usually put base layers around your décolletage to get an even skin coverage, so you need to wash that off at the end of the day as well.
USE REAL CLEANSERS, NOT TIPS
From time to time cosmetic wipes are needed. They can help when you're traveling or when you need to quickly remove makeup at the end of the evening or in the middle of the day. However, once you're in your 30s, you'll need to switch to real cleansers and use them as often as possible.
At this stage, your skin begins to adjust and dry out. The pores can change their structure, and you will see that the skin began to produce less oil. Therefore, cosmetic wipes for removing makeup will no longer suit you.
When you use a cosmetic tissue, you are only cleaning the top layer. Wipes do not clean the pores and do not remove dirt from them. In fact, wipes can even cause dirt to accumulate on the skin! Because of them, you can get more blocked pores.
A real cleanser offers much more to keep your skin healthy and protected. You also get more hydration thanks to cleaning products and the moisture they contain. These products help improve collagen production and improve overall skin health.
The type of cleanser will depend on your skin type. If you have drier skin, you may prefer an oil-based cleanser. Those with oily skin can purchase a non-comedogenic and oil-free cleanser. You can also look into mineral oils, which are great for sensitive and combination skin.
There are a large number of different gels, lotions, soaps and much more. Look at the type of skin they are for and make sure they are suitable for your 30+ skin.
USE TONER DAILY
Once a day, you will have to use a skin toner. It is up to you to decide whether to do it in the morning or in the evening. Night skincare tends to be a favorite time for many women, besides the evening is when you have more time to take care of your skin.
Tonic helps to increase skin hydration and improves collagen production. When you turn 30, collagen production may decrease. It's possible that your skin dries out to the point where collagen production drops to zero. This can lead to breaks in the middle layers of the skin, stretch marks, and the formation of wrinkles and age spots.
Toners are also good for firming up the skin. They help prevent the premature appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
You should not buy a toner full of chemicals. Witch hazel is a popular natural toner available at most drug stores for a low price. It can also help treat some skin problems while removing any remaining dirt and oil during the cleansing process.
DON'T FORGET THE EYE CREAM
While most of your skin will produce oil naturally, the skin around your eyes will not. Therefore, your eyes primarily reflect most of the problems associated with age. Gradually, fine lines appear, cobwebs around the eyes, mimic wrinkles and much more from what is formed in the process of daily facial expressions. While you can't stop expressing emotions on your face, you can help add moisture back to the eye area and prevent a lack of collagen production in this area.
Use eye cream daily. Many people choose to make this part of their evening routine, but in your 30s and over, you'll want to make it part of your daytime and evening routine. Try using eye cream twice a day instead of once.
When choosing an eye cream, keep in mind that a different cream should be used at different times of the day. At night, you want something that soaks in for a long time. This will help to add moisture to the skin around the eyes during the night while you sleep. In the daytime, it is better to use a cream that is completely absorbed immediately, so that you can then apply makeup and continue your day.
When using eye cream, avoid getting it too close to the eyes. You only need to apply it around the bone at the top of your cheeks. Contact with eyes may cause vision problems.
FIND A RETINOL CREAM
Improving collagen production in the skin is more than just adding moisture. You need to add the right nutrients for your skin. Collagen needs a lot of protein to form properly, and you can get that from retinol. This is a form of vitamin A that converts well into the protein required for collagen production.
Pay attention to moisturizing and night creams with the addition of retinol. You will be able to solve many problems with wrinkles and fine lines. It can also help brighten up your skin and avoid many of the signs of aging like age spots.
In some cases, you may need a prescription cream. It will also contain retinoids such as Retin-A. It's more serious than over-the-counter retinol and has a stronger effect. However, don't jump straight into prescription drugs in your 30s, as your skin needs to be sufficiently primed to benefit from retinol.
In your 30s, you will only need to use the cream three nights a week. If your skin continues to be dry, you can increase the frequency of use of the cream to four or five nights a week.
Retinol creams only need to be used once a day when they become part of your evening routine. It should be at night, because then the skin has more time to absorb all the trace elements important for its health.
ADD MORE ANTIOXIDANTS DURING THE DAY
Your skin's needs during the day are different than at night. While the night is a time for nourishment and rejuvenation, your daytime routine should focus on protecting and preparing for your evening skincare routine. Therefore, antioxidants are a must for your day care.
In your 30s, there should still be many healthy cells in your skin. You may also find that the production and repair of new skin cells is relatively fast. What you want to do is avoid an excessive drop in the rate of reproduction and cell repair, which is why antioxidants come into play.
Antioxidants help fight oxidative stress in the body. They protect the body from free radicals that cause cell death. Free radicals can lead to age spots, neoplasms, and cancerous moles. Adding antioxidants to your skin care routine will help prevent this. You need to protect your body before it's too late.
Antioxidants will also help improve the skin's immune system. You reduce redness and inflammation, which helps to make the skin healthier and avoid micro-damage problems.
It is possible to make your own skin care products using lemons, oranges and some essential oils and get your antioxidants naturally. However, you can also buy over-the-counter antioxidant supplements from the pharmacy.
EXFOLIATION ON A WEEKLY BASIS
Once a week, you'll have to spend a little more time on your skin care routine by adding exfoliation to it. If you have dry or oily skin, you don't need to do this daily! In fact, daily exfoliation can even cause some skin problems and affect its oil balance.
Dry brushing can be a powerful way to exfoliate your skin. You do not use any chemicals or water. Gentle circular movements naturally improve blood flow. You will get rid of accumulated dead skin cells, brighten its appearance and open up your pores. This is a great way to remove dirt and excess oil from the skin pores.
You can also exfoliate your skin with natural products. Sea salt or mineral salts can be great options. Sea salt contains cleansing and rejuvenating nutrients and does not dry out the skin like other salts. Meanwhile, mineral salts are not even salts! They are saturated with various minerals that you fill your skin with.
You can use natural bases to help exfoliate. Some take half a lemon, dip it in salt, then rub it directly into the skin. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant that helps protect cell health, and lemon juice can help brighten and improve the appearance of skin. It is worth remembering that citric acid may be too strong for sensitive skin. Oranges and tomatoes are more suitable for sensitive skin.
Before using an exfoliant, determine the type of skin you have. Dry brushing is the preferred option for most skin types because it helps normalize skin cells and you don't add anything that can affect skin tone. Before using other ingredients, make sure that they improve the condition of the skin pores, and do not block them.
IMPROVE YOUR DAILY SKIN CARE IN YOUR 30s
This is the point in your life when protecting your skin is especially important. You are at a point in your life where you can still prevent most of the problems that your skin faces in later years. You can reduce the risk of skin damage from the sun and slow down the signs of aging. However, you need to take certain steps related to changing your skin care to help her with this.
After 30, also do not ignore the use of makeup, just choose the right type. Take the time to add skin care routines both day and night to your daily routine. Be proud of the health of your skin, and it will take care of you for the rest of your days.
