The main signs of changes in skin condition after 30 years
Often women note that skin tone has become less uniform.
There may be an implicit tendency to pigmentation. First of all, this applies to brown-haired, dark-eyed and dark-haired girls.
Mimic lines begin to form near the eyes, in the area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXb”crow’s feet”, and on the forehead, where mimic activity is especially pronounced.
In general, the skin becomes less oily and less porous, the risk of comedones and inflammation is reduced.
After 30 years, the skin becomes less oily, but more prone to pigmentation and the formation of expression lines. Now she needs less active cleansing than at 15-25 years old, but more careful and delicate care.
Facial care 30+
Go through an individual anti-aging skin diagnosis based on artificial intelligence and choose the right care!
Skin care after 30 years will be different from the previous one, not only with the use of more delicate formulas, but also with the addition of several mandatory steps.
After 30 years, the first mimic wrinkles appear under the eyes.
Night care
“The first thing to add to the daily ritual of care is a night cream,” advises Marina Kamanina. “The skin now needs more time to recover, and the usual moisturizer is no longer enough.”
The night cream contains caring and regenerating components, relaxes the skin and improves metabolic processes in it. To do this, light oils are introduced into its composition that do not weigh down the skin, and plant extracts with a regenerating effect.
Anti-aging care
From the age of 30, you can start using anti-aging products little by little: they contain components aimed both at combating aggressive factors that accelerate aging and at correcting the first signs of aging, including expression lines. It can be:
antioxidants (polyphenols, bioflavonoids, vitamins C and E);
unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6, necessary to improve the barrier function.
Sun protection
“Starting from the age of 30, it is necessary to avoid the most important factor in premature aging – an excess of ultraviolet radiation, which contributes to the formation of not only mimic, but also deep static wrinkles,” says Marina Kamanina. – Take sunbathing only under the protection of products with UVA and UVB filters, SPF 30 for the face and at least SPF 20 for the body.
Recommended cream ingredients for ages 30+:
collagen – smoothes the skin, reduces wrinkles,
hyaluronic acid – moisturizes the skin, prevents wrinkles,
peptides – soften, moisturize, nourish the skin, “push back” the first signs of aging,
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids – nourish the skin and support its natural barrier function,
antioxidants – fight free radicals
solar filters – protect against ultraviolet radiation, which causes photoaging.
How to choose a cream depending on skin type
When choosing a cream, be guided by the “30+” marking and your own skin type.
Moisturizing cream
Products with the inscription “moisturizing” and components such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe extract are suitable not only for dry skin, but also for oily ones. Indeed, contrary to popular belief, often oily skin lacks moisture.
Mattifying cream
As mentioned above, after 30 years, the skin reduces the production of sebum, becomes less oily and less prone to the formation of comedones. However, this rule does not work 100%. So if the problem of oily sheen is still relevant for you, choose light gel textures, fluids, formulas with zinc.
Nutritious cream
For thin, dry skin, nourishing creams with a dense texture, similar to a balm, and a composition based on amino acids, peptides, and fatty acids are recommended.
Cream for skin with the first signs of aging
Even if in your thirties not a single wrinkle has been noticed on your face and pigmentation is also not bothering you yet, the skin aging process has already started and it’s time to take care of the prevention of signs of aging. Creams with antioxidants (green tea extract, resveratrol) will help in this, which neutralize free radicals and prevent damage to skin cells.
Choosing a cream, be guided by the needs of skin type
