Skincare routine for the 30s

Skincare routine for the 30s

When I turned 30, something changed. It wasn't just that I was older; it's that my skin was changing quickly -- and in ways I didn't know how to deal with. The second decade of my life brought with it new concerns about my future looks and health, which prompted me to evaluate what steps I could take to keep my skin looking good.

When I turned 30, something changed.

I started to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I stopped wearing makeup and didn't care if people saw me without it on. I felt like I had to be more careful about my health, since it was no longer just about looking good but also about feeling good and staying healthy.

I was still young enough to wear makeup but didn't want to anymore.

I was still young enough to wear makeup but didn't want to anymore. I had been wearing it since I was a teenager, and at 30, with my skin looking good and feeling healthy, I decided that I didn't need it anymore.

• The time it took: It took me 20 minutes every morning before work just for my foundation and powder (and another 10 minutes at night). If I wanted any other products on top of that--like blush or eyeliner--that would add another 5-10 minutes per item! That's a lot of time spent making sure everything looks perfect before heading out the door each day! And if you're like me and don't wear this much makeup on weekends or nights out with friends...then all those days off end up being wasted effort too!

• The money spent: Over the years I'd invested hundreds upon hundreds of dollars into various brands' foundations/concealers/blushes etc., only because they were supposed to be better than whatever bargain brand was available at Walmart at any given time (and let's face it--they usually were). But now? Nowadays there are so many options available online where high quality products cost half what they used too...so why bother spending so much more money on something less effective?

My skin was changing quickly -- and in ways I didn't know how to deal with.

I was in my early 30s when my skin started changing. I could feel it happening, but at first I didn't know how to deal with it. What made matters worse was that the changes weren't exactly gradual, either--they were abrupt and dramatic.

My face was getting drier than usual and I had new concerns about what products would work best for me now that my face didn't just have oily spots but also dry patches as well. My skin wasn't reacting well to some of the products I used before (like toners or cleansers), so I had to change them up drastically--and quick!

The second decade of my life brought with it new concerns about my future looks and health.

As you begin to enter your 30s, there will be a lot of changes. Your body has gone through so many physical changes that it is normal for you to want to do something about them. You are not alone in this journey because many women have gone through the same thing and they have learned some great tips on how they can still look good even when they're getting older.

Don't worry too much about your looks because there's no need to panic; just take it one day at a time and stay patient with yourself as well as with other people around you who may judge or criticize your appearance based on their own standards rather than yours

Working out, drinking lots of water and watching what you eat will go a long way toward keeping your skin looking good.

Working out, drinking lots of water and watching what you eat will go a long way toward keeping your skin looking good.

• Drink plenty of water: Water helps flush toxins from the body, keeps skin hydrated and lubricated and helps keep wrinkles at bay.

• Eat a healthy diet: Your diet should include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat protein sources like fish or chicken breast (no red meat). Avoid processed foods with added sugars and saturated fats as much as possible--these are known to contribute to aging skin by damaging collagen fibers in the dermis layer underneath your epidermis (the top layer).

If you're dealing with acne, dermatologists recommend starting with an over-the-counter acne treatment, like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser, which controls oil production, followed by a prescription if necessary.

If you're dealing with acne, dermatologists recommend starting with an over-the-counter acne treatment, like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser, which controls oil production. If that doesn't work for you and your skin is still breaking out after about a month of using the OTC product regularly (it may take longer for some people), then it's time to see a dermatologist.

Prescription treatments are often more effective than over-the-counter ones because they contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and also include ingredients that can help prevent future breakouts by clearing clogged pores and controlling oil production.

Makeup artists can help you find the right foundation that matches your skintone without leaving any residue on your face after applying it with a brush or sponge.

• Makeup artists can help you find the right foundation that matches your skintone without leaving any residue on your face after applying it with a brush or sponge.

• If you're not a makeup artist, don't worry! This is an easy fix. There are several ways to do it yourself--the easiest way is just by using your fingers and blending it in circular motions all over the face until there's no patchiness left behind.

Skin care habits are different in your 30s than they were in your 20s

As you get older, your skin changes. The texture and tone of your skin may become more oily or dry. You might notice fine lines or sun damage, too--all things that can be helped by using the right products in a skincare routine.

In your 30s, it's important to keep an eye out for any new problems with your complexion (like acne) and treat them quickly before they become a long-term issue. Skincare routines can vary from person to person depending on their needs; some people prefer natural products while others prefer those made with chemicals or prescription medication like Retinol A cream because it helps speed up cell turnover rate so wrinkles will fade faster over time! Whatever type works best for you is what matters most when trying something new out on yourself each week."

 

So what's the takeaway? It's not just about having good skin, but also feeling confident in your skin. And that confidence comes from within. You can take care of your skin from the outside with products or treatments, but if you don't feel good on the inside then it won't make much difference. In my experience, taking care of yourself involves eating right (and exercising!), drinking lots of water each day and sleeping well at night -- all things that will help keep your skin looking its best while boosting overall health!
