“Age is just a number”. While everyone ages at their own pace, experts agree that the ideal age to start a skincare routine is no later than 25.
Skin is the body's largest organ, and the most exposed to external aggressors. That alone is reason enough to take extra care of it. Some of the factors that affect skin quality include stress, diet, lack of sleep, and continuous sun exposure.
SKINCARE BY AGE
The first step is figuring out your skin type. Next step is adapting your skincare routine to match your age group.
In Your 20s
During your 20s, skin usually looks flawless. That said, some breakouts or other skin issues can still show up, depending on skin type and how well it's cared for. The most important focus during this stage is prevention, especially against sun damage.
In Your 30s
This is the age when the first visible signs of aging start to appear. The most common are dark spots, loss of elasticity, and even changes in skin tone. That's why it's important to start using firming treatments and adding a weekly deep-hydration mask to your routine.
In Your 40s
Inevitably, skin starts to look more sagging and tired, especially around the face and neck. From your 40s onward, cell renewal becomes key, as facial contours begin to lose definition and the goal shifts to restoring elasticity, particularly around the eye area.
In Your 50s
At this stage, fine lines and wrinkles become deeper, dark spots appear, and skin tends to be drier. This is also a time of hormonal changes, which show up in the condition of the skin.
No matter your age, the priority is always the same: protect your skin from the sun and maintain a solid hydration routine.
DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE
Skincare should be a non-negotiable habit at least twice a day, following the steps below, regardless of age.
- Cleansing: This is arguably the most important step. Cleanse your face with a suitable product, like our cleansing mousse, formulated for all skin types and free of allergens. Use it at least twice a day, especially at night, since skin regenerates while you sleep.
- Exfoliating: Do this at least once a week to remove dead skin cells while helping the skin regenerate, boosting glow and softness.
- Moisturizing: Always choose a moisturizer suited to your skin type to help prevent dryness and wrinkles — hydration is a top priority in any skincare routine.
- Sun protection: No matter the season, sunscreen is always a must.
Overall, skin will look healthy if, in addition to following these steps, you eat well, stay hydrated, and exercise regularly.
