Facial care after 30: tips, rules, recommendations

The human body changes throughout his life. And aging occurs for everyone. For some, its first signs in the form of wrinkles, swelling of the oval and sagging appear a little later than 25. And for others, even at 40, they practically did not encounter these problems. Such a large gap is determined by genetics, lifestyle and, of course, care. So if you haven’t been taking care of yourself since your youth, passing the threshold of three decades of life is an excellent reason to start doing so.

In this article we will talk about skin care after 30 years and how to make your appearance admired for a very long time.

Proper skin care after 30

Let's look at what usually happens after reaching this age:

• Metabolism slows down.

• The process of lipid secretion is disrupted, the fat layer becomes thinner and the stratum corneum thickens.

• The epithelium gradually dries out.

• Due to the slowdown in the production of elastin and collagen fibers, wrinkles appear.

• Healthy fluid circulation is disrupted, leading to a deterioration in the general condition of the dermis.

• Muscle tone decreases: the corners of the mouth droop, nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks (the so-called jowls) appear.

As you can see, some of the unpleasant signs of fading are a direct consequence of the slowdown in the functioning of various body systems. Therefore, the first and most important measures to preserve youth and health apply not only to the face, but to the entire body as a whole. To maintain beautiful and smooth skin you need:

• A balanced healthy diet, including all the necessary nutrients. An improper diet, as well as a lack of vitamins and microelements, has a bad effect on the condition of the dermis. For example, riboflavin deficiency provokes inflammation on the face and cracks on the lips. A lack of retinol and tocopherol increases the likelihood of premature wrinkles, dryness and sagging. Include freshly squeezed juices with celery, parsley or cabbage in your menu. This will have a positive impact on your overall well-being and will significantly improve the condition of your skin.

• Rejection of bad habits. Alcohol leads to swelling with a simultaneous lack of fluid in the tissues. And smoking leads to the formation of those very free radicals that accelerate aging.

• Regular eight-hour sleep. It is necessary for the healthy functioning of the entire body. Proper rest reduces the likelihood of puffy eyelids and dark circles under the eyes.

• Moderate physical activity. They allow you to maintain the overall tone of all body systems.

• Drink 1.5–2 liters of clean water a day, start drinking green tea. Water is needed for metabolic processes. Green tea contains elements that help bind and remove free radicals and slow down aging. Try not to drink liquid a few hours before bedtime, otherwise it will not have time to leave the body and appear in the form of swelling the next morning.

Without following these recommendations - at least partially - even the highest quality cosmetics will not have sufficient impact. But, of course, to consolidate the result, a variety of care procedures are needed.

About skin problems at 30 years old

There can be many options for problems at the age of 30. If there are no chronic diseases or pathologies in the acute stage, problems may include hypersensitive skin, rosacea, pigmentation, early wrinkles, and post-acne.

It is important to take into account all the factors that provoke the listed conditions:

• seasonality;
• Lifestyle;
• heredity;
• general somatic conditions and diseases of the dermis that require special treatment;
• hormone failure, lack of vitamin D and beneficial elements.

All people are individual. Therefore, not only a consultation is important, but also an examination and a detailed medical history of the patient. You must understand that there are no unified treatment regimens; the work of a cosmetologist can safely be called a creative process. Women at 30 and beyond want to “stop time” and always look young and healthy. This applies not only to the fairer sex; in the 21st century, many men also take care of themselves.

Stages of skin care after 30

These include:

• Cleansing.

• Giving tone.

• Nutrition and hydration.

• Protection.

In addition, from time to time it is worth using professional products and various salon procedures, such as ultrasonic peeling, lifting, vacuum massage and much more. When taking careful care, you should remember the area around the eyes, neck and hands - they also show age.

Consider facial skin problems

When choosing night and day creams, take into account the problems that your facial skin is currently suffering from:

• First wrinkles, clogged pores, oily skin. With a combination type of dermis, choosing care cosmetics is the most difficult. Since areas with wrinkles need active nutrition and hydration, the skin can also react negatively to rich formulations by forming inflammation and pimples. Give preference to products with retinol. It has a rejuvenating effect and normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands.
• The appearance of capillaries, gravitational ptosis. Such age-related signs are characteristic of the deformation type of aging. You need creams that can strengthen the walls of blood vessels, tighten contours, and improve circulation processes in cells. The creams should contain: horse chestnut, arnica, seaweed.
• The appearance of a fine network of wrinkles, dry skin. Choose creams with peptides. They will relieve the dermis of dryness and flaking, nourish and moisturize it. Peptides have a myo-relaxing effect. They allow facial muscles to relax, due to which wrinkles disappear. If necessary, such creams are applied pointwise: for example, only on the eyelid area. Please note that you should not use products with peptides for more than several months. You can conduct 2-3 courses in a year.

At night, skin of any type needs restoration. Therefore, the cream should contain peptides, retinol and other substances aimed at combating the aging of the dermis.

Cleansing

This is an obligatory part of morning and evening hygiene procedures. Because creams, masks, peeling, massage and much more are applied and carried out only on a cleansed face. Otherwise, their use will become practically meaningless; no substances will be able to penetrate deep into the epidermis through the stratum corneum of cells.

• Women over 30 are not recommended to use soap; wash only with clean water, a special tonic or foam. Those with an oily type should use foams and tonics. And ladies whose dermis is prone to dryness will benefit from cosmetic emulsions and milk. In the evening you should cleanse more thoroughly.

• It is better to use mineral or filtered water for washing. Very cold or hot will damage the skin, so you should prefer liquid at room temperature.

• In addition to daily cleansers, deep action masks should be used once or twice a week. The face needs to be prepared for such procedures - steamed with a steam bath, and only then applied.

• You should not wipe yourself after washing, so as not to cause dryness and irritation. It is better to blot lightly with a soft towel, being careful not to rub or stretch it.

How to remove makeup correctly?

Use special products to remove makeup. Avoid using soaps that can dry out even normal skin.

After removing makeup, apply a serum with hyaluronic acid and vitamins to your face. Serums should be used in courses. The duration of the course is one to two months. The purpose of such a product is to increase the tone of the epidermis, get rid of pigmentation and prevent the appearance of spots.

Since the care should be multi-layered, use cream after the serum.

Hydration and nutrition

• For these procedures it is better to use special creams. After reaching your 30th birthday, you can safely buy cosmetics labeled anti-aging in stores. Such cosmetics will provide you with the necessary vitamins A, B, C, D, E, E, P, elastin, collagen, fruit acids and microelements.

• For these purposes, it offers the Beauty box “VitaMix” vitamin care complex. In addition, the Anti Age Mesococktail with AHA acids and other products in this series are suitable for all types. The compositions activate collagen production, promote renewal at the cellular level, improving the structure and tone of the dermis.

• It is worth using various facial serums. They contain much more useful substances than conventional creams. And their constant use is not recommended - limit yourself to two courses per year.

• Choose cosmetics that are appropriate for your age. Creams and masks for more mature skin reduce the natural synthesis of various elements.

• Night cream should not be applied right before bed. Since such products contain moisturizing components, they may not have time to be fully absorbed into the dermis.

How to quickly achieve the effect of a “well-groomed face” a few days before the celebration

If you need to get your face in order in just seven days, don't despair. This is quite real. Cosmetologists give the following recommendations to get a quick effect:

• apply a mask suitable for your skin type every other day;
• For dry skin, be sure to use moisturizers;
• procedures are carried out not only for the face, but also for the neck;
• Apply night cream exclusively before 10 p.m. to remove swelling;
• include green tea in the menu, the best option is to replace coffee with it;
• drink freshly squeezed juices from cabbage, celery or parsley every day;
• do acupressure before bed.

As a rule, these simple steps will help you prepare for the holiday in just a week and look young and fresh.

After 30, it’s still too early to start preparing for old age, which is approaching by leaps and bounds, because life goes on. Using home remedies every day is sure to bring excellent results.

Skin care around the eyes after 30

The dermis here is especially tender. This is where the first wrinkles usually appear. To care for this area, it is necessary to use special products.

For example, for the area around the eyes, he suggests using eye cream or HydroMAX serum. They relieve puffiness, smooth out wrinkles and increase firmness and elasticity.

Age labels for cosmetics

What are the criteria for choosing skin care products at different ages and why can’t you use a cream labeled anti-age if you are over 20 years old?

Taking into account the age-related characteristics of the skin, as the body matures, skin care will change:

• At 20+ years of age, the body’s natural aging process begins, and although the first external signs of skin maturity will not be noticeable soon, now is the time to take care of aging prevention. Skin at this age needs antioxidant support and intense hydration. From the age of 25, you should include eye moisturizers in your beauty routine. Young skin makes the most of its own resources and renews itself well, so moisturizing and regular cleansing will be enough to maintain its tone.
• At the age of 30+, the body already noticeably decreases the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and other elements necessary to maintain the density, firmness and elasticity of the skin. By the age of 35, age-related changes become noticeable: facial wrinkles, dehydration creases, skin loses tone. It is recommended to enhance antioxidant support, add UV protection and include anti-aging formulas based on hyaluronic acid and collagen in your beauty routine.
• At 40+ years of age, the time comes to fully combat age-related changes. By the age of 45, many people experience such noticeable manifestations of skin maturity as pigmentation, deformation of the oval of the face, deep creases and a network of fine wrinkles in the eye and lip area, and decreased skin turgor. At this age, the cosmetic bag is replenished with products containing retinol, peptides, and rhamnose.
• At 50+ years of age, a period of age-related hormonal changes in the body begins. Almost all elements that maintain youth and skin tone stop natural synthesis and must be replenished with the help of appropriate compensatory care. The contours of the face begin to change, gravitational ptosis appears, the skin becomes thinner, loses density, becomes dry and sensitive. Compensatory care includes powerful anti-aging formulas that replenish moisture and collagen deficiency in skin cells.

Care for thin skin after 30

For this type of dermis, you can only use special fresh cosmetics marked “sensitive”. Due to its small thickness, this type requires especially careful and thorough care. In this case, you can use anti-aging products after 30 years, when the first expression wrinkles have formed. Twice a year you need to take a course of vitamins; vascular-strengthening dietary supplements will also be useful. Due to the great sensitivity, the ban on soap is especially strict. And homemade masks should not contain aggressive, drying components. Try to do without peeling. Many herbal compresses are prohibited, as well as wiping with ice to tone.

Prevention of early skin aging

To prevent early skin aging, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. For example, morning jogging, exercises and hardening. You need to exercise several times a day. After physical activity:

• the blood will be distributed in the body, with it the organs and muscles will receive more oxygen;
• metabolism will occur faster;
• cells will be renewed.

Therefore, the aging of the body slows down.

You need to exercise and massage your face every day. There are many exercises, they do not require effort. They need to be done for a few minutes every day.

Care for oily skin after 30

The problem with such dermis is oily sheen. Attempts to remove it with the help of decorative cosmetics can only aggravate the problem, polluting the pores and leading to the appearance of acne. But properly selected care products can correct the difficulties. Appropriate alcohol-containing tonics and lotions, when applied morning and evening, will dry the surface and prevent the appearance of shine. Try not to use fatty compounds, and if you have to, blot the residue with a napkin.

Care depending on skin type

The choice of products depends on many factors - not only on age, but also on the characteristics of the skin. Dry dermis requires very delicate handling and additional nourishment; in the case of oily and combination dermis, special attention must be paid to cleansing.

There is a simple tissue test. After cleansing with a gentle cleanser, wait 2 hours. Then apply the paper to your face.

If you are prone to dryness

If the sheet remains clean, it is better to clean it with milk or hydrophilic oil; it is recommended to abandon the mechanical scrub.

Normal type

There are minor marks of fat - this is the result of the test. All stages of facial skin care after 30 are necessary: ​​foam, tonic, emulsion, cream. Both specialized and universal products are suitable.

Oily skin

Test results: traces are clearly visible throughout the entire area of ​​the napkin. Particular attention must be paid to cleansing and scrubbing - this prevents the pores from becoming clogged and inflamed. It is better to give preference to formulations without oil.

Combined

Spots only on the nose, chin and forehead. Dry cheeks, enlarged pores on the forehead, nose and chin. It is recommended to avoid cosmetics containing oil and use mattifying wipes for problem areas.

Care for combination skin after 30

The peculiarity of this type is that it requires different care at different times of the year.

• In winter, you need to treat it as dry: use foam or milk to cleanse, use scrubs once a week or less, moisturize, apply protective compounds before going outside. If your skin is dry before bed, you should apply night moisturizers.

• In summer, the rules are different; the dermis is cared for as if it were oily. Here special lotions and tonics for mixed types, light creams and gels are used.

Scrubs in this case are used only for oily areas. Tonics should be chosen so that they can simultaneously moisturize and relieve inflammation. Look for creams that contain a variety of anti-inflammatory botanicals, such as plantain, sage, chamomile, tea tree, etc.

What changes are happening

Withering begins, which is due to:

• slowing metabolism;
• loss of moisture;
• less sebum (sebum) production;
• thickening of the stratum corneum;
• deterioration of elasticity;
• disruption of blood flow in tissues.

In other words, the epidermis becomes more dehydrated, and the first wrinkles appear, namely nasolabial folds and crow's feet. Recovery is slower and more moisture is required.

Homemade recipes for masks and creams when you are over thirty

The modern beauty industry creates incredible compositions: they may contain algae, marine collagen extracted from rare species of fish, pearl powder, extracts of exotic plants, essential oils. All this is impressive, but we cannot devalue the products that appear on our tables every day. They also help preserve beauty and youth.

Let's figure out what ingredients can be included in the formulations to achieve visible results.

Whitening mask

In what cases is it useful:

• there are pigment spots, freckles;
• dull skin color;
• there are scars and scars;
• with rosacea.

How often should you take care of your facial skin after thirty using this mask? 1–2 times a week.

To prepare lightening folk remedies for the face after 30, use lemon, fermented milk products, parsley, currants, and grapefruit. They contain many active substances that accelerate cell renewal and exfoliate the stratum corneum. Therefore, under the influence of this composition, the tan and various spots disappear, and the cover becomes lighter and more even. The arsenal of these helpers includes, for example, lactic or AHA acid, vitamins A and C.

Most popular recipes:

1. Lemon juice, kefir and white clay (ratio 2:2:1) - recommended for oily and combination skin.
2. Sour cream and fresh currants (a tablespoon each) - for dry.

The rule is this: the less your skin produces its own sebum, the more nutritious the dairy product can be used in a mask.

If you don’t want to mess around, get dirty with berries, or you accidentally ate all the berries, forgetting about the cosmetic procedure, don’t worry. There is a more convenient alternative - an industrial product in beautiful packaging. Whitening products are produced by the following manufacturers: Himalaya, Bielenda, Farmstay. They help both take care of skin after 30 and at a younger age.

Against forehead wrinkles

Popular recipe: 2 tbsp. l. coffee grounds, 1 egg white (beat until foamy), 5 g lemon juice, a spoonful of honey. Mix everything and keep for 20 minutes. This composition refreshes, tightens pores, nourishes with microelements, and improves blood circulation.

Rejuvenating mask with yeast

You should buy briquettes, not pellets. It contains amino acids, folic acid, vitamins E, B, phospholipids - all these ingredients actively fight aging.

Preparation instructions: dilute with warm water or milk (35 - 40 degrees), do not store (use at a time), let stand for 20 minutes before applying. Just dilute with liquid and you will have a ready-made mask. But you can add a little honey or olive oil. It is recommended to do it in a course - once every 3 days for a month.

How to properly care for your face after 30 years using carrots

The root vegetable contains vitamins A, PP, ascorbic acid, carotene - all this is incredibly beneficial for the skin. Preparing home remedies is simple: mix fermented milk product (sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese) with freshly squeezed root juice in a ratio of 1 to 2. Keep for 15–20 minutes, regularly - 2 times a week.

What results are achieved:

• elasticity increases;
• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• pores narrow;
• regeneration is accelerated.

Among the well-known brands that offer masks with carrot extract are Cristina and JayJun. They are found in different release forms: in a jar, tube or on a fabric basis.

Green vitamin cosmetics

The most popular ingredient for daily skin care after 30 is regular parsley. The stems and leaves contain nicotinic and ascorbic acids, pectin, vitamins C, PP, B, A, as well as sodium, iron, magnesium. These components give freshness, heal damage, smooth out wrinkles, soothe inflammation, and improve blood circulation. Therefore, using this plant in homemade beauty recipes is a great idea. This simple but very valuable product is also universal: it is suitable for both oily and dry skin types.

Greens crushed with a blender can be combined with honey, kefir, vegetable oil (olive, jojoba).

You can also use spinach, dill, and sorrel for cosmetic purposes. They help care for both combination skin after 30 and normal skin.

If you really want to try caring for combination skin after 30 with herbs, choose products from trusted brands in our online store. This is the most comfortable and safest way. After all, before a product hits the shelf, it undergoes thorough research.

Cleansing and softening clay-honey mask

It is difficult to overestimate honey. It contains antioxidants, micro- and macroelements, vitamins. And all this has a very beneficial effect on the dermis - it is saturated with healthy ingredients, becomes velvety, smooth and radiant.

Clay is also not far behind. Its main properties are detoxification and remineralization. This means it removes decay products and toxins from the tissue and saturates it with minerals, providing a rejuvenating effect.

Together these 2 components work wonders. But we need to warn you about some rules for proper facial care after 30:

• clay mixtures should be used with caution on dry skin;
• honey is contraindicated for those who suffer from allergies, as well as if there are signs of rosacea.

Mix the ingredients like this: make a solution of honey and water (or hydrolate) in a ratio of 1 to 2, and add clay to it until the consistency of sour cream. Then apply for 20 minutes.

There are many options for masks from leading brands. The Korean brand JayJun offers products with these ingredients. And also many interesting combinations of propolis (with green tea, mineralized salt and even gold) are offered by the Venzen company.

Anti-wrinkle oil mixture

Vegetable base oils are a real storehouse of fatty acids, which are responsible for elasticity and the ability to withstand negative external factors. The following samples can be included in proper home facial care after 30: peach, apricot, cocoa, coconut, shea, rosehip - if your skin is dry. For oily skin, you can use hazelnut and bay laurel. But it is not advisable to experiment in this topic; it is better to trust the experience of proven cosmetic companies. Such products contain exactly as much oil as needed. Oversaturation is fraught with clogging of pores and inflammation.

Magic ice cubes

The oldest anti-aging procedure that has not lost its relevance is rubbing with ice. They can be prepared from mineral water, as well as from decoctions of medicinal herbs - chamomile, calendula, nettle. Strictly along the massage lines, lightly touching, without staying long in one area.

This action is appropriate after cleansing before toning.

What result do we get:

• pores narrow;
• swelling goes away;
• cheekbones look more expressive.

Do you want to know a life hack on how to improve the condition of your facial skin after 30? After applying an expensive, effective product, such as a serum, you need to wait until absorption occurs and then apply ice cubes. This “imprints” the composition as deeply as possible and makes it even more effective.

Banana-based softening mask

This fruit is also valued in cosmetology, as it contains amino acids, minerals and vitamins. You can achieve the following results:

• acceleration of wound healing;
• color improvement;
• increased elasticity;
• normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands;
• helps retain moisture in the dermal tissues.

Add to the crushed fruit pulp:

• yolk and sour cream/honey and yogurt - for dry skin;
• orange pulp/lemon juice - for normal and oily skin.

Banana extract can be found in cosmetics from the following brands: Wokali, JMSolution.

Scrubs and peelings

Getting rid of the upper stratum corneum is very useful both at a young age and after the age of thirty. But the older we get, the more careful we should be with our dermis. Therefore, it is better to prefer chemical effects to mechanical effects. Instead of coffee, almond crumbs and other rough particles that exfoliate dead cells, it is better to use acids. The essence is the same - peeling removes what is dead, but more delicately, without injuring, scratching or requiring intense friction. Fortunately, there is a huge selection of cleansers with a peeling effect.
