Turning 30 is a big milestone in both, a man and woman’s life. However, as the years pass by, people especially women get anxious to look good and prevent the signs of ageing. Here are some useful tips to help keep you looking as young as you did in your 20s!

Change your skincare routine

The most important thing to maintain young skin is following a routine that ensures that the moisture is intact in your skin. The more hydrated your epidermis, the more youthful your skin will be.

First of all, look for gentle cleansers that are without foam. Foaming washes typically have sulfates that dry out the skin, making it less nourished and more wrinkled. Look for cream cleansers such as ‘Avederm Soothing Facial Cleanser’ or ‘Cetaphil Cleanser’ that gently get rid of dirt while moisturising your skin. Know how to moisturise your skin naturally, here.

Second, get rid of your toner. Toners dry out your skin, making it less supple. Instead use a hydrating serum that contains actives like Hyaluronic Acid or Vitamin C for nourishment with vitamins to prevent oxidative damage. Here are some chemical ingredients in your beauty products that can ruin your skin. 

Finally, make sure you moisturise your skin. Use gentle moisturisers that ensure proper hydration and make sure you do so at least twice daily!

Protect your skin from the sun

The sun is the number one cause of ageing. Both UVA and UVB rays contribute to a plethora of skin issues including sun spots, freckles, rosacea, skin laxity, pigmentation, sagging and wrinkles. Wear sunscreen with broadband protection with at least SPF30 and PA++, and make sure you apply a large amount or it won’t work! Also, apply it 30 minutes before you leave the house and do reapply every 4 hours. Here is how you can help your skin heal faster from sunburn with these DIY tips. 

Exercise

Regular exercise is a great way to prevent ageing. In fact, regular exercise has been proven to reduce skin ageing by up to 20%. Make sure you exercise at least 30 minutes a day for 6 days a week to get the most of its anti-ageing benefits.

Natural beauty care

At home, for a natural youthful boost, you can try a hydrating mask. Combine avocado and rosewater and apply on the face. Leave it on for 30 minutes until it dries, and then wash it off. This wonderful therapy delivers essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, antioxidants and other nutrients for a time-reversing skin boost. You could also use mango or papaya instead of avocado. Make sure you do this once a week for the optimal results. Read here about more face packs with rosewater. 

At the dermatologist’s

As a dermatologist, I know that there are a multitude of treatments that can help boost collagen, ensuring your skin stays young. Lasers such as ‘Clearlift’ can boost skin strengthening proteins while treating marks, closing pores and gently tightening skin without side-effects. In case you are averse to lasers, gentle glycol peels can be used for a glow along with providing a slight increase in collagen production. I usually prescribe topical creams that help reduce the physical signs of ageing. These creams also leave a gentle glow on your face. Say goodbye to 4 common skincare problems with these tips.
