After the age of 25, the skin starts to age, lose its function, and undergo changes in shape. The skin becomes dry, wrinkles appear, dark spots form, and even sagging occurs. There are several factors that can contribute to these conditions such as aging, natural decline of elastin and collagen in the body that weakens the skin and reduces its ability to regenerate, exposure to sunlight, unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, smoking, prolonged stress…
Age 30 is considered the first stage of the aging process, where antioxidants and collagen in the body naturally decrease.
Selecting the right sunscreen for your skin type
Sunlight can damage the skin, so it is important to apply sunscreen 2 – 3 times a day to ensure optimal sun protection. Even on cloudy days, sunscreen should still be applied. In addition, wearing sun-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses… when going outside is essential for absolute skin protection.
As you enter your 30s, the skin becomes drier, collagen and elastin fibers develop slower. The skin becomes less elastic, and skin cells take longer to regenerate and recover, therefore prioritizing appropriate skincare products is necessary.
Maintaining a proper skincare routine
Understanding your skin is crucial in selecting suitable products. Without knowing your skin type and its issues… it can lead to situations where despite diligently caring for your skin daily, it still looks bad, with acne, signs of aging…
In your 30s, the skin needs to be cleansed and supplied with the necessary moisture. You can incorporate anti-aging products into your skincare routine to maintain the natural beauty of your skin.
Limiting makeup
Using heavy makeup, foundation with alcohol and oil, not properly cleansing the skin after makeup… are all habits that accelerate the aging process. Therefore, it is best to limit makeup if possible, allowing the skin to rest and recover.
You can also consider non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as chemical skin rejuvenation, microneedling, mesotherapy, laser treatment to improve rough skin, enlarged pores…
Mistakes that hinder the effectiveness of anti-aging
You should avoid the following common mistakes:
– Incorrect facial cleansing
– Neglecting sun protection or insufficient use of sunscreen
– Using skincare products that are not suitable for your skin
– Staying up late, lack of sleep
– Unhealthy diet, consuming fried and spicy foods, excessive alcohol…
– Smoking, including e-cigarettes.
