JUST WHEN YOU think you’ve got your skin-care routine nailed down, there’s a wrinkle. And a zit? Your skin’s needs change as you age, and what worked in your 20s probably isn’t resulting in complete perfection (many) years later. Certain skin-care practices should be lifelong — hello, SPF! — butwe went to the experts for the lowdown on what your skin really needs, decade by decade.
In your 30s…
This is the decade to get serious about skin care. “In your 30s, you may start to notice the effects of lifestyle choices and genetics: sun damage, environmental dulling of the skin, lines around the eyes and dark circles,” says Shoppers Drug Mart beauty pro Sarah Aubert.
Now’s the time to focus on preventing further damage — and to start maintaining what you’ve got. “Your 30s are your sweet spot for fat and collagen production,” says Dr. Julia Carroll of Compass Dermatology in Toronto. “People tend to look more sculpted, and your face tends to look more mature, in a good way.”
1 This lightweight moisturizer nourishes with antioxidants like vitamin C, kick-starts dull-looking skin with a brightening complex and protects against UV damage.
NEUTROGENA BRIGHT BOOST MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 30, $28, WALMART.CA
2 A blend of nine plant oils, including pomegranate, apricot and avocado, helps lock in hydration. It’s perfect for an invigorating facial massage.
