It’s no secret that your skin changes as you age. What you do for your skin or against your skin will have ramifications over time, no matter what. Whether you notice the loss of elasticity or volume, a few fine lines and discoloration may appear where you didn’t use to have it. These changes can be a bit stressful every time you navigate a new skincare routine. The products that worked in you when you were in your 20s may lose their efficacy, and you constantly have to adjust your regimen based on your skin’s current needs.

AGING IN YOUR 30s

3. It’s no secret that your skin changes as you age. What you do for your skin or against your
skin will have ramifications over time, no matter what. Whether you notice the loss of
elasticity or volume, a few fine lines and discoloration may appear where you didn’t use to
have it. These changes can be a bit stressful every time you navigate a new skincare
routine. The products that worked in you when you were in your 20s may lose their efficacy,
and you constantly have to adjust your regimen based on your skin’s current needs.
As you enter your 30s, your skin is entirely post-puberty. This is when you start to see some
early signs of aging and sun damage that most likely happened in your teenage years or
20s. Your skin repair and collagen production also slow down, which means your skin will
appear dull, and there will be a loss of volume in your cheeks.
To help you prevent further damage on your skin as you age, here are some tips from our
dermatologists:

4. 1. Protect your skin from the sun every day
Whether you will be out basking under the sun at the beach or just running errands,
sun protection is essential. You can protect your skin by seeking shade, covering up
with sun-protective clothing and sunglasses. A critical part of your routine is your
sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, with at least SPF30 or higher, and
water-resistant.
2. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol
Smoking and drinking not only damage your lungs and liver, but it dramatically
affects your skin too. Smoking speeds up how quickly your skin ages, and alcohol
damages your skin by dehydrating it. Over time, it causes wrinkles and a dull,
sallow complexion.

5. 3. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
New studies suggest that eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables may help
prevent damage that leads to premature skin aging. Research studies also
indicate that a diet containing lots of sugar and other refined carbohydrates can
accelerate aging.
4. Exercise most days of the week
According to studies, moderate exercise improves circulation, boosts the immune system,
and gives the skin a more youthful appearance

6. 5. Consider antioxidants and peptides
The most basic skincare routine is washing with a gentle cleanser and using a
moisturizer at night. Adding an antioxidant in your 30s will help repair some of the
sun damage that started to develop over the years. They brighten dull skin and help
rejuvenate collagen.
Even people who already have signs of premature skin aging can benefit from
making lifestyle changes, skincare routine, and visiting their dermatologists. If you
have sun damage or acne scars that bother you, microdermabrasion, light peels, or
laser treatments may help. These procedures can improve skin more than facials
can.
