Important Skincare Habits for Every Stage of Womanhood
Taking care of your skin is essential at every stage of your life, but it won't be the same for every decade. Our bodies go through distinct changes throughout particular stages of life, so we must be aware of these changes and build a proper skincare routine accordingly.
Whether you're in your 20s or your 50s, here are the critical skincare factors for every decade of your life.
Your Skin in Your 20s — Getting to Know Your Skin
Your twenties are the first time you start experiencing your skin as an adult. The habits you build now will help you age gracefully for the decades to come.
In your 20s, be diligent about sunscreen to prevent sun damage — apply it daily, even on cloudy days. Look for a formula packed with beneficial ingredients like our Complete Defense SPF 40.
You may also experience adult and hormonal acne. Choose products based on your skin type to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils. Not sure of your skin type? Take our Advanced Regimen Builder to find your personalized routine.
Your Skin in Your 30s — Building Good Habits
Your 30s are typically when you start to see early signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and slightly thinner skin. The practices you develop now will show in your 40s and 50s.
In your late 20s and into your 30s, collagen production begins to decrease. Introduce collagen-boosting products into your routine, like our Nutrient Riche Moisture Creme, to support production and maintain skin firmness.
Your Skin in Your 40s — Reaping the Benefits
Your 40s are when you start to see the results of how you cared for your skin earlier. You may notice decreased skin laxity from a loss of collagen and elastin, making skin look thinner and looser in certain areas. Your face may also lose volume and appear drier due to decreased sebum production.
During this time, using products with peptides and firming properties is especially beneficial — like our Ultra Firm Neck and Chest Cream to address the areas that show aging first.
Your Skin in Your 50s — Embracing Aging Well
In your 50s and beyond, it is still essential to keep up your skincare. The goal isn't to stop aging — it's to age well. Your skin will become drier and lose more elasticity, and you may experience acne, redness, and discoloration, especially as your body goes through menopause.
Ensure your skin is properly moisturized and that you're getting plenty of nutrients — vitamins, peptides, and antioxidants. Our Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum is an excellent example of getting much of what you need from one product, delivering targeted renewal and nourishment in a single step.
Final Notes
A skincare routine is essential at every stage of life — and there is always time to start one. What makes all the difference is having the appropriate routine for your skin type and stage of life. A great way to ensure you're doing everything at the right time is to work with an esthetician.
