Skin Care Over 30

So you’ve reached your 30s. You’re a real grown up now. Those college keggers are behind you, and you are well on your way to huge rewards for all your hard work. Unfortunately, now is also the time to look into changing your skin care products, cosmetics and other beauty products. Why, you ask; because your skin isn’t the same as it was ten years ago. Don’t panic, that doesn’t mean all is lost, and holding on to your youthful glow is impossible. It just means you have to change things up a bit.

In our 30s, we need to pay particular attention to the skin around our eyes. That being said, pay close attention to skin care products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, copper and vitamin c. These ingredients stimulate collagen growth, which we need in our 30s. You also want beauty products with ingredients like vitamin k, kojic acid and hydroquinone, which help lighten those dark circles all that hard work has left under your eyes. Use your cosmetics sparingly, once you hit 30, because it will lie in those fine lines and wrinkles we all want to hide.

So now you know how to care for your eyes, so what about the rest of your face? Again, skin care products and beauty products that help boost collagen are key. Hyaluronic Acid products have been well documented to help reduce brown spots and smooth wrinkles, so keep that in mind next time you’re at the beauty counter. The good news is that there are many cosmetics that now contain these ingredients as well.

Skin care in your 20s doesn’t take much more than a good washing and decent moisturizer. Don’t become complacent in your 30s and think you can keep the same beauty regime you’ve had for the past ten years. You may not notice the difference in your skin right away, but little by little age will creep on you. Turning 30 should be a celebration, not a death sentence. By knowing the right skin care products to look for, cosmetics to apply and beauty products to buy, you can look as young as you feel.
