A Morning Skin Routine for Every Age

A targeted skin care routine is essential for everyone, but the needs of our skin change as we age. Here are some tips for what you should do at what age …

In your 20s

You probably take care of basics by cleansing and moisturizing, but starting to look after your skin well at this age will stand you in good stead in the years to come. Choose a cleanser that is specific to your skin type for optimum results.

Add antioxidants to fight off free radicals, repair sun damage, and prevent the breakdown of collagen. Use sunscreen every day.

In your 30s

Instead of cleansing in the morning, tone. Your night-time cleansing routine should be enough. Exfoliate more to get rid of dull, dead skin cells and brighten the complexion.

Start using eye cream twice a day to prevent crow’s feet and laughter lines.

In your 40s

Skin is drier at this age. Use a multitasking serum to tackle everything from sun spots and fine lines, to sagging.

Opt for a product that contains antioxidants to fight off free radicals. Start using a facial oil for maximum hydration, and upgrade your moisturizer to one that is richer.
