Over 30? Try These 15 Amazing Beauty Tips
When it comes to your age, you’re as young as you feel. However, that doesn’t always reflect on your skin. When you hit above thirty, it’s time to seriously start looking after your skin and changing your regular skin care routines. Just like any other part of the body, your skin needs to be properly nourished. So, what are the best ways to care for your skin?
CTM
Cleanse. Tone. Moisturize. You’re probably already familiar with this skin routine and why it’s so important. When you’re in your thirties, you’ll get the exact same benefit from it as you did in your twenties. It will remove any excess dirt and grime from your face, including bacteria you may have picked up throughout the day. It will also help to keep your skin fresh and smooth, so you look energized and revitalized when you wake in the morning.
Always Check Ingredients
It’s a good idea to start looking into the kind of ingredients that are good for your skin. Skin care products come with a long list of ingredients and they aren’t always good for the skin, especially as you age. Ingredients like vitamin C and E, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid are great for the skin. So, you can be sure that products containing these ingredients will help you to keep your skin looking as supple as possible. They will also help to reduce dryness as your skin ages.
Anti-aging
It’s never too early to start using anti-aging products. In fact, most anti-aging companies recommend that women start using these products in their mid-thirties. There are lots of different products you can try out. For example, you’ll find everything from anti-aging moisturizers to anti-aging eye creams and even anti-aging body lotions. Using anti-aging doesn’t mean that you’re old; it just means you’re willing to invest in your skin.
Your Diet
It goes without saying that what we eat shows on the outside. Our diets affect the way our skin looks, so it’s important to eat a diet that will benefit your skin. Take a look at https://www.siobeauty.com/blogs/news/anti-aging-diet for some examples of what to eat. Eating fruit with vitamin C will give you a natural healthy glow. However, a variety of fruit and vegetables in your diet is the best way to help your skin. Not only will it nourish your body, but it will also help you get rid of toxins that come to the surface of your skin.
Add in Supplements
There will be times where your diet won’t be able to cover everything. Perhaps you’ll have a busy week and you won’t have the time to prepare your meals, or maybe you’ll be having a cheat week where you get to indulge instead of sticking to strict routine. No matter what’s going on in your life, adding supplements to your daily routine will ensure you’re covered, and your body is getting the vitamins you need, even if they’re not in your diet.
Face Masks
Face Masks are a great way to give your face a bit of TLC. Your facial skin goes through a lot during the day and it’s exposed to a wealth of different things, including weather, pollution, dirt and grime. When your skin needs an extra bit of attention, face masks are ideal. You don’t have to spend over the odds to keep your skin in great condition either. In fact, lots of ingredients that are probably in your cupboard are ideal for making your own face masks. These include honey, coconut oil, oats, avocado and many more.
Exercise
Exercise is great for your health generally, but a lot of people don’t realize the effect it has on their skin. Exercise promotes healthy blood and air circulation which the skin needs to regenerate, repair and look healthy. Just like your diet, exercise nourishes the red blood cells and removes toxins from the body. Just twenty minutes per day is enough to help your body do what it can to give you healthy skin.
Facials
A face mask can only go so far. Getting a facial from a professional beautician will take you one step further. Beauticians can identify your skin’s weak areas and choose a facial based on the problems your skin has. Not only is it a great way to walk out feeling full of confidence, but it’s also perfect for booking in some time to relax. Our bodies need down time as much as our minds. Some well-deserved spa time will reduce stress which is one of the biggest culprits for ruining beautiful skin.
Exfoliation
Exfoliating your skin will help it to stay as fresh looking as possible as you age. Your CTM routine may have times when it doesn’t quite cover the job. Exfoliating at least three times a week will mean you’ve covered all the angles – literally. Exfoliation tends to get into all the skins nooks and cranny’s unlike the milder CTM. It’s the best possible way of removing dead skin cells from your face and neck and revealing brighter skin.
Stay Hydrated
Studies have shown that we very rarely drink as much water as we should throughout the day. When the body consumes water, it is sent to all the vital organs first. That means, if you haven’t taken in enough water, your skin misses out. That can leave your skin looking and feeling dry and you wondering why it’s happening. You can use all the moisturizer you want, but the only thing that will solve the problem for good is to increase your water intake. That doesn’t mean start drinking more coffee every day, since caffeine can have a bad effect. Take a bottle of water with you wherever you go and sip and refill it throughout the day.
Say Bye to Bad Habits
There are lots of things that can affect our skin. Alcohol, smoking and caffeine are three big threats to healthy skin. Of course, in moderation you may not notice a huge amount of difference when it comes to alcohol and caffeine, but they can cause a lot of damage when consumed in large amounts. Smoking can change the skin significantly so you may notice dryness and decolorization. By cutting down on these bad habits, you could save yourself years when it comes to the aging of your skin.
Eye Cream
Our eyes take a battering these days. If we’re not out in all kinds of weathers, we’re inside staring at a screen – whether it’s a tv, computer or smaller device. It’s no wonder that our eyes are usually the first thing to give our age away. It’s important to look after your eyes as you get older. Using eye cream before you go to bed will ensure the skin around your eyes gets the moisture it needs and is less likely to wrinkle and sag. This also makes it easier to apply eye make-up when you wake in the morning.
Body Lotion
We tend to focus entirely on our faces when it comes to keeping our skin young and fresh, but the rest of the body is just as important. There are some key areas that will always need more moisture than others, including the elbows, knees and ankles. However, it’s just as important to moisturize everywhere else. In your thirties, apply body lotion once a day after a shower or bath. As you age, you can increase this to twice a day, so your skin gets more moisture.
Sunscreen
It’s so important to apply sunscreen to your skin when you need it. When the sun is out and you’re planning on spending time outdoors, your skin cannot go without sunscreen. Firstly, sunscreen is a fantastic protection for your skin, saving you from sunburn, skin peeling and protecting from diseases like skin cancer. Secondly, it’s a good way to keep your skin moisturized during heat that could dry out your skin easily. You can get waterproof sunscreen if you’re planning on going for a swim and sunscreen you can wear underneath or on top of your make-up.
Night Cream
Yes, night cream is completely different to day cream. Night cream is gentler on your skin and thicker in order to provide more moisture to your skin as you sleep. It’s ideal for dry skin and conditions such as eczema (as long as the cream isn’t fragranced). Night cream has a chance to fall deep into your skin’s pores because you don’t ordinarily apply make-up right after using it. Your skin should feel soft and look bright when you wake in the morning.
Thirties isn’t an old age and you may be wondering why all this is necessary. The point to these beauty tips is to keep your skin as young as possible for as long as possible, so you aren’t searching for a miracle in your sixties. The fountain of youth may be a myth, but with any luck you won’t need it anyway.
