As the years go by, our skin changes, producing less collagen over time. This is where signs of aging such as pronounced expression lines, sagging, and spots appear. Therefore, it’s important to establish habits and facial routines that adapt to the needs of our skin at each stage.

Today, Nathaly Gerbino, a Master in International Beauty and CEO of Medilight Center, reveals the best tips and routines to care for your skin according to your age.

Skin Care in Your 20s:

During your 20s, the skin tends to be firmer with fewer wrinkles. However, this doesn’t mean you can neglect it. Establish a solid skincare routine to maintain a healthy appearance and prevent long-term damage. Here are some key tips:

Use a facial cleanser: Forget about bar soap! Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser suitable for your skin type and avoid using harsh soaps that can dry out your skin.

Facial toner: Using a toner will help balance your skin’s pH so that the products you apply afterward will be better absorbed.

Hydration: Apply a lightweight moisturizer to keep your skin fresh and youthful.

Sunscreen, your best friend: The final and most important step if you want to avoid spots and wrinkles at an early age. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and don’t forget to reapply it every 2 hours.

Skin Care in Your 30s:

During your 30s, it’s common for the first signs of aging to appear, such as fine lines and loss of elasticity. It’s time to step up your skincare routine with products that boost collagen and elastin production. Here are some key tips:

Exfoliator: Exfoliate your skin at least once a week to promote the acceleration of the cell renewal process.

Specific treatments: Consider using serums or creams with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or retinol to help reduce fine lines and improve skin texture.

Use a product containing polyhydroxy acids (PHA): This will help stimulate cell renewal and improve the appearance of the skin.

Skin Care in Your 40s:

In your 40s, the skin may show deeper wrinkles and loss of firmness. During this decade, it’s important to focus on hydrating and nourishing the face and neck. Here are some key tips:

Intensive hydration: Opt for richer and more nourishing moisturizers to provide deep hydration and improve the appearance of the skin. At night, use an anti-wrinkle cream with retinol.

Intensive sun protection: You should use sunscreen with an SPF of around 50 to protect your skin from sun damage.

Professional treatments: Consider collagen-stimulating treatments such as platelet-rich plasma, chemical peels, or LED light therapies.

Skin Care in Your 50s:

In your 50s, the skin becomes thinner and may experience greater loss of firmness and elasticity. At this stage, it’s crucial to care for and strengthen the skin barrier. Here are some key tips:

Use products with hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated, and use peptides to combat wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.

The daytime nourishing cream should not be too light but not greasy either. At night, depending on your skin, use creams that provide lifting or anti-wrinkle effects.

Add treatments such as radiofrequency with microneedles, collagen threads, or Radiesse to your facial care routine to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness.

Conclusion:

Remember that, in addition to these general tips, it’s important to consult a skincare professional for personalized recommendations that suit your specific needs. It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin and look your best at any age!
