Skin Care in Your 30s

Thirty’s are may be the new twenties but the visual signs of aging begins at this age. Fine lines and wrinkles start to appear, as the skin becomes thinner and production of collagen and elastin starts to slow down. The eyes usually show signs of aging first. Read on to learn more about proper skin care in your 30s.

If your skin was flawless and beautiful in your 20’s without an extra effort, your 30’s is the time to enhance your skin care regiment with the following steps:

 

1. Clean & Exfoliate

– Cleansing is the most important step in skin care because clean skin is healthy skin. Dull skin can make us look older than we actually are, to prevent that use an exfoliant like Daily Polishing Cleanser. The unique powder formulation effectively cleanses and exfoliates the skin. A combination of jojoba beads that gently exfoliate and salicylic acid that penetrates deeply into the pores to eliminate build-up result in a radiant and evenly-toned skin

 

2. Accelerate Cell Turnover

– In our 30’s the cell renewal rate usually slows down. Exfoliating with alpha hydroxy acid and retinol helps to remove layers of dead skin cells and accelerate skin renewal. Serum Retinol CS is a great combination of 3% Retinol that accelerates cellular renewal while 5% Glycolic Acid smoothes skin and improves its texture

 

3. Use Antioxidants

– Antioxidants help repair and prevent damage of the skin, increase collagen production, promote healing and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 15% Vitamin C Serum visibly transforms skin’s clarity and reduces the appearance of fine lines. High dose of vitamin C scavenges and destroys reactive oxidizing agents and other free radicals while provides protection against UV radiation and improves skin elasticity

 

4. Hydrate Inside & Out

– Human body is 60-70% water, drinking enough water is essential for the healthy body and skin. Water gives the skin fresh and radiant glow. Hydrated skin shows fewer signs of aging; therefore, increase the use of moisturizers and hydrating serums. Try B5 Hydration that helps restore the skin’s elasticity with the perfect balance of nourishment and hydration. Hyaluronic acid delivers and maintains water hydration and pro-vitamin B5 assists in stabilizing the moisture content of the skin

 

5. Protect

– To prevent wrinkles sunscreen must be step in your daily skin care regiment. Try Oil Free SPF 40+ Sunscreen. It provides broad spectrum protection from the sun’s damaging rays while nourishing hydrators and antioxidants help fortify the skin. Hyaluronic acid attracts and maintains hydration to hold 1000 times its weight in water; vitamin E, an antioxidant, protects from oxidative stress and has anti-inflammatory properties

 

6. Always Look Well Rested

– Thirties, possibly, the busiest time of your life and it’s also the time when dark circles under your eyes start to develop. Using Vital Eye Cream will help hydrate the eye area, leaving it appearing smooth and revitalized. Active ingredient eyeliss helps to prevent puffiness and reduces under eye circles while chamomilla flower extract is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties

 

7. Have a monthly facial

– a deep cleaning facial with alpha hydroxy acid to hydrate and rejuvenate your skin. Our Hydration Party Treatment with gingko biloba mask, collagen eye mask and lactic acid is ultra energizing. Learn more about different facials we offer and schedule your facial with us!

If you didn’t develop healthy habits in your 20’s, it’s never too late to start now.
Working out regularly, adapting healthy diet and boosting your skin care regiment are great way to maintain your body and skin for many decades to come.

Skin Care in Your 20s

Most important objective of skin care in your 20s is to develop good habits that could be applied to skin care, fitness or a diet. When it comes to skin care, create simple routine that you will be able to use through your whole life for a beautiful, youthful skin.

At this age it’s all about prevention.  Here are some simple daily steps to follow:

1. Use facial cleanser – wash your face thoroughly to prevent large pores. We recommend trying Purifying Gel Cleanser. Main ingredient – salicylic acid, deeply cleanses pores while antioxidants protect and soothe the skin

2. Use clearing pads – to balance, calm and purify the skin. Try Clear Complexion Pads that gently breaks down excess sebum, immediately balancing oily skin and helping prevent the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Sodium chlorite breaks apart oily secretion and bacteria while preventing regrowth of bacteria. Citric acid, acts as a natural preservative, softens the skin and adjusts acid-alkaline balance

3. Exfoliate – it is the best way to prevent build up and establish regular regenerative cycle. We recommend trying Refresh Facial Polish,  a gentle facial polish that revives and refreshes the skin. The soothing botanical-based formulation has a combination of jojoba beads that gently exfoliate while refined polyethylene beads remove debris from the skin’s surface without irritation

4. Use mask – to prevent and heal break outs and hydrating the skin. We recommend Soothing Gel Mask that cools and calms sensitive or irritated skin with a soothing complex of antioxidants calendula, wild yam and vitamin E. Another great mask to try is Refining Clay Mask. Oil-absorbing clay purifies the skin and calms irritation while proven blemish fighting ingredients tea tree and zinc reduce the appearance of pores and refine skin’s texture

5. Take care of your eyes – hydrate, sooth and protect your eyes, after all, they are the focal point of your face. Try Eye Restore to prevent appearance of fine lines and puffiness and restore skin’s texture. Eye Restore contains palmitoyl oligopeptide that stimulates cell growth, increases skin thickness, and helps correct discoloration, while an antioxidant green tea extract has anti-inflammatory properties

In youth, your body is surging with everything it needs to perform its best. Establish positive habits with fitness and healthy eating now and you will have a positive foundation for years to come.

New Year – New You

It’s a custom for many people to make New Year’s resolutions and try to achieve them by year’s end. Losing weight and exercising more are the two most popular resolutions. In January most gyms are crowded with new determined members. However, by February half of newcomers stop going and by March only regulars are left.

This year let’s make resolutions that are easy and achievable so by the end of the year we could be proud that we achieved them all.

1. Find an activity you enjoy – If running on a treadmill or lifting weights are not activities you enjoy, check out the list of classes your gym offers. For example, Zumba is a fun dance class while yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual exercise. If you don’t belong to a gym simply start walking, for instance during lunch time

2. Eat an apple before each meal – Apples offer fiber, volume, and will fill up your stomach so you will be full faster and you don’t overeat. Don’t have apple handy? Glass of water will have the same effect

3. Create more long weekends – Adding another day-off to your weekend helps to de-stress and relax, take a break once in a while and you will have a more positive outlook on life

4. Declutter – It’s hard to start throwing away items from your closet or office that you’ve had a long time. We all have tops in the closet that we haven’t worn in two years. By now fashion has changed so it’s time to say “good bye” and make some room for new, trendy items.

5. Take care of your skin:
• Wash you face with a face cleanser (not a bar soap) and moisturize every day
• Exfoliate at least 3 times a week
• Have a facial once a month
• Apply eye cream daily
• Use non-petroleum based lip balm

 Be on the way to healthier, happier you with these easy New Year’s resolutions
