Skin TLC for your 30’s

Introduction

Adulthood is a natural and beautiful process, and something you shouldn’t shy away from! As you grow and evolve, your skin texture also changes with you. Skin problems keep varying as you grow and mature. In your teenage years, you might find yourself dealing with vicious white heads and acne. Your 20s is all about experimenting and exploring new skincare products, but at the same time analyzing what works the best for your particular skin type. During your late 20s, your skin also starts hinting you to start taking meticulous care of it. Your 30s is the time you must act upon those hints and delve deep into following a well-formulated skin care regime for 30s to resist premature aging.

As you enter your 30s, your skin starts showing signs of aging, resulting in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and dull skin. However, it is better late than never, and it is imperative you take action towards achieving your skincare goals. In your 30s, you must incorporate three key products in your skincare routine for late 30s: a hydrating cleanser that restores the skin’s natural oil while cleansing all the toxins accumulated on the face, a retinol that improves the production of collagen and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a UV spectrum sunscreen to combat premature aging and fortify the skin from harmful UV rays.

Why is Skincare in Your 30s So Important?

As you enter your 30s, skin starts wreaking havoc. Uninvited zits and white heads start appearing on the face. There is also a shift in your hormonal changes due to external stressors like work exhaustion, fertility stress, irregular periods, and personal life changes. These changes manifest even fas0ter as you turn thirty due to the diminishing production of collagen, lower rate of skin elasticity, and the slowing down of cell turnover.

In order to prevent aging in your 30s and other skin-related issues, you must incorporate a well-formulated morning and night skincare routine and follow it religiously.

Morning Care Routine

Your morning routine should be all about guarding your skin from harmful toxins, pollutants, and harsh UV sun rays that have accumulated throughout the day. Skin is the largest organ in our body, and protecting it from several, external, harmful stressors is imperative. Hence, the best skincare products for 30s are needed in our skincare routine for better protection, penetration, and absorption.

Hydrating Cleanser

After you wake up, cleaning your face with a cleanser should be the first step in your skincare routine. Washing off all the impurities and dirt that have accumulated over the night is important to achieve clean and healthy-looking skin.

BiE’s Fresh Forward - Deep Hydrating Cleanser is a gentle cleanser which is super-soft on the skin and removes all the make-up dirt and impurities, decongests your pores, activates cell turnover along with retaining the skin’s natural oils. It leaves your skin feeling fresher, plumper and healthier.

Pro-tip: Gently clean your face with your fingers and always use a hydrating cleanser as it removes all the dirt and toxins without stripping off the skin from its natural moisture.

Always remember - if your skin feels too tight after washing your face, it means that your cleanser is aggressive and it’s time to change your cleanser.

Toner

Toning is usually considered to be a skippable step and is discarded from many people’s AM and PM routines. Perhaps, many people aren’t really aware of its benefits. Toning is really important for skin care for age 30. It helps reduce the formation of fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin. It also tightens your pores, eliminates toxins, maintains the skin’s PH levels and renews skin’s elasticity. One of the best and most natural toners you can use is pure rose water without any artificial additives.

Dinyar’s Tip

Use a rose water toner that is homemade and edible, so you are aware that you are not putting any unnecessary toxins on your face.

Serum

Serums are lightweight versions of moisturizers that give you immense hydration whilst allowing the skin to breathe. They are antioxidant products which protect your skin from internal hormonal changes and external toxins. Serums are excellent lubricators and penetrate into the deepest epidermal layers of the skin. They are an exquisite step in your skincare routine. Serums help make moisturizers work more effectively on the skin by locking in excess moisture for radiance and freshness. They fortify the skin from premature aging, acne, dryness, and irritation.

Moisturizer

One of the most important steps in everyone’s skincare regimen for 30s is applying moisturizer. Skipping this step would be the greatest disservice to your skin. Why? A moisturizer is the only skincare product that gives your skin immense hydration apart from water. It protects your skin from dryness and irritation post-wash along with locking in moisture. Moisturizer helps your oil glands maintain skin’s pH levels, elasticity, and collagen. Additionally, people also often forget to moisturize the neck and usually just massage it with a single application. You must apply a second layer of moisturizer and massage it on your neck in an upward direction.

Sunscreen

After applying from the lightest skin care formulation to the thickest one on skin, seal the moisture and the rest of your routine with a sunscreen to protect it from harmful UV rays. As you grow older, incorporating skincare steps that alleviate premature aging becomes essential.

Sunscreen protects our skin from skin cancer and tanning, while slowing down the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. It also promotes sun protection and brightening.

Night Care Routine

While your AM skincare routine is all about protection from external harmful aggressors, your PM routine should be completely dedicated to the renewal and repair of your skin. If you want your skin to look gorgeous and healthy in the morning, it is important you put in the effort to see that ‘I woke up like this’ radiance on your face.

There is a step-by-step night-time skin care regime that you must follow to aid your skin’s natural repair and rejuvenation process:

Makeup cleanse

There are many people who commit the cardinal sin of not removing their makeup the night before going off to bed. Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to several environmental aggressors like smoke, pollutants, harmful UV rays, dirt, and grime. Makeup acts like an insurance policy and protects the skin from these skin pollutants, however, over a period of time skin starts producing sebum and accumulating makeup, resulting in clogged pores. This leads to acne. In order to avoid this skin catastrophe, it is very important to double cleanse your face before nodding off to la la land.

Tips to keep in mind while removing makeup:

• Never use makeup remover wipes. They are very harsh on your skin. Switch it up with an oil-based, makeup removing cleanser accompanied with cotton swabs, biodegradable wipes, and Q-tips to remove all traces of makeup from your face.
• Post the makeup cleansers, wash your face with a detoxifying face wash to remove all the dirt and grime that has accumulated on your face throughout the day.

Eye Cream

Another step that most of us overlook in our skincare routine for 30s is an eye cream. People tend to assume that face creams are potent enough to provide sufficient hydration and TLC to our eyes. This is absolutely false. The area around the orbital bone and above the cheekbones is very thin and fragile, needing extra attention to keep it wrinkle-free and firm. The area under the eyes is the first to show signs of aging, for e.g. whenever you squint, smile or laugh, the fine lines formed under the eyes become even more visible if they are dry, fragile or loose. It is important to incorporate an eye-cream in your routine, infused with stem cells and peptides, for cell-regeneration and hydration, imparting a youthful and glowing look.

Retinol

A lot of you beauty aficionados must be well aware of retinol and its benefits, but very few apply that knowledge to reality. Retinol, is a Vitamin A derivative that helps the skin in fighting against early signs of aging and promotes skin regeneration, cell turnover, and barrier repair. It is a well-formulated skincare product that combats acne, irritation, and premature aging and should be incorporated in your skincare regime.

Moisturizer

The last and the final step in your best skincare regimen for 30s should be a light-textured and hydrating moisturizer. After applying your entire routine of products, it is important to seal them with a moisturizer to nourish your skin and allow the products to function effectively. When your skin enters the repair mode at night, cell-regeneration is at its peak and a moisturizer acts as a bonus providing a radiance boost and oil penetration.

Affirmations

As important as external beauty and care is, it is imperative we take care of our internal health and peace as well. The idea is to age gracefully, and not forcefully. Acceptance is bliss, and coming to terms with growing old and the other signs of aging that come along with it is practical and vital. However this shouldn’t lower our confidence. It is up to us to put in some work toward our skin, for our skin to glow and shine internally as well as externally.

Before going off to bed, recite a set of positive affirmations to boost your confidence and attract positive and healthy vibes. As many say, what you think on the inside, reflects on the outside.

Conclusion

To summarize this, butterflies undergo a process of metamorphosis from their early stages of being caterpillars. To transform into something exquisite and beautiful, you have to undergo and accept the changes that come along with it as well. Metamorphosis is the only constant. As you grow older, your skin texture and tone changes too. Your skin will never remain as firm or smooth as it was in your 20s.

Your 30s are a transitional phase for you and your skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, dull skin, and age spots are even more visible than they were in your adolescent phase. Incorporating products with ingredients like Vitamin A, stem cells, retinoids, and peptides becomes even more important when you enter your 30s. Hence, skincare after 30s is vital and should be given its due importance. Realizing your skin concerns at an early age and acting upon them to nourish and protect your skin will save you from several other future skin worries. It is never too late to immerse yourself in the world of transformative skincare - so start now and give your skin the nourishment it needs!
