On the March 2015 edition of Real Simple magazine, they go over the best anti-aging strategies for your skin at every age.
We liked the article so much we thought of sharing it with you! So of course, all credits go to their amazing team as well as the original writer Genevieve Monsma.
According to the article, less is sometimes more with your skin. Having an extensive and complicated routine is the #1 reason why people don’t follow through with it. Keep it simple, but invest in good products – that’s the secret of a great skin care regimen.
They also give you breakdown of what treatments/products you should reach to depending on your age. So we will give you an abbreviated version.
20s
– Your skin has mostly calmed down from all teenage hormone unbalanced, so most won’t have too many problems;
– Your skin still produces plenty of collagen, and any sun damage is still well concealed under your skin’s surface;
– Keep your routine basic, start using anti-aging products as a prevention, and avoid anything that causes damage to the skin: smoking, not washing your face and taking off your makeup, sun.
– Treatments recommended are seasonal facials.
30s
– Focus on preventing fine lines and discoloration due to sun damage;
– Invest in deep cleaning products that can balance your oil production;

40s

– Your sebum production usually declines, so keep your cleanser for only nighttime;
