Which Skincare Products Should I Use In My 30’s?
Whether you're just entering this new decade of your life or you've been here for a while, skincare is a must in your 30's for maintaining that youthful face of yours. By now you'll have your routine and most likely have stuck to it since you started taking more care of your complexion in your late 20's. In our earlier years, we will have focussed on oil absorbing formula's to keep those pesky break outs at bay, however as your skin changes over the years so should your skincare routine. So for the ingredients you need to look for and the products you'll be adding to your basket, here's everything you need to know.
#1 What ingredients should I look for in my skincare products?
- Hyaluronic acid
- Collegen
- Retinol
- Vitamin C
- SPF
#2 Skincare products for pigmentation
Just like how we learnt Vitamin C is great for fighting off the common cold and flu, it provides its strength and antioxidant factors to our skin. Great for creating a barrier between UV, pollution and other skin damaging factors, Vitamin C is also one of the best ingredients for treating dark spots and pigmentation of the skin without altering your skins natural tone. Here are a few of our favourite products.

#3 Skincare products for fine lines
Fine lines are an inevitable sign of aging gracefully. But, to keep those lines as fine as can be, in your 30's you should add retinol into your skincare routine. The magic ingredient is a buzzword in the skincare industry for it's abilities to help reverse the signs of aging through its increase of cell turnover. Working to improve your skins texture and minimise wrinkles, add retinol to your basket to revive your fine lines.
#4 Acids to encourage skin repair
For gentle exfoliation of your skin and skin repair you should be looking at a selection of AHA's in your skincare routine. AHA's are water soluble acids that help peel away the surface of your skin so new pigmented skin cells can generate. Look for both hyaluronic acid and lactic acid products for exfoliation and increased cell turnover. Always remember to moisturise with an SPF after to avoid irritation.
#5 SPF to protect against harmful UV rays
One of the most important and easiest skincare techniques to help maintain a youthful complexion is to use SPF everyday. With sun damage and pollution one of the main contributors to aging simply add SPF into your daily routine before moisturisers and the application of any makeup. SPF can also be found in a selection of primers and foundations which is great, but we would still encourage SPF as your first step before these for extra coverage.
