5 Expert Skin Care Tips for People in Their 30’s

The 30s are splendid. You have a great career, a good set of friends, and more stability in life than before. More importantly, you are done with student life and feel all grown up! But you certainly did not see some of these skin and hair changes coming.

You are also starting to worry when you look in the mirror. Maybe, you spot a hint of the fine line or extra pigment. Yes, it is time to visit your doctor for hair and skin care.

As you progress in your 30s, some of the signs of photo-aging start to show up, and as you cross your 35th year, you will notice more pigmentation and dull skin issues. However, if you have been systematically following a good skincare routine in your younger years, the impact might be less. Dr. Rashmi Shetty says, “Anti-ageing treatment does not mean that you address it after you see the first wrinkle. Take the preventive care approach. If you take care now, then your skin will thank you much later. Aging for me does not mean the number of candles on your cake, but how your skin looks and feels”.

So, before pigmentation and fine lines become a challenge, try this regime. One critical step is to get the right exfoliating face wash that suits your skin type. This keeps your skin stay soft and supple.

Dr. Rashmi Shetty explains a simple 5-step regimen for Skincare for people in their 30s

Step 1:

Continue with the skincare regime you set up in your 20s. You may add a little more to your cleansing routine. Use the combination of makeup remover and a face wash to get clean skin. In your cleansing routine, add a gentle scrub every alternate night. You can also look for a face wash that contains some exfoliating actives like AHA. It is because your natural sloughing-off process starts to slow down now.

Step 2:

Take special care of the under-eye area and lips. Use lightening, capillary stabilizing creams like Vit K, blood pigment clearing lotion-like Arnica under-eye gel, or cream every night. Use a concealer with a good moisturizer during the day. Sunscreen is significant here too. Use beeswax-based lip butter with an SPF to keep them soft.

Step 3:

Continue with your sunscreen. You can also wear a moisturizer with ceramides additionally as the skin tends to get drier now.
