Worry not; you can combat all these problems with adult skin care methods and maintain a glowing skin even in your thirties. Maintaining and caring for your skin may sound difficult but, you have to follow regular skin care routine to preserve your younger looking skin! We have compiled the ultimate skin care tips for people who are turning 30 soon. Follow these tips if you are also going to be a part of “the 30 club”. Clean it properly   Cleanse: Any good skin care regime begins with cleansing. Usually, people forget to cleanse their skin due to the busy schedule of regular life. But, cleansing is very important for protecting your skin from all the dirt, oil and germs. You should cleanse your skin twice a day – once in the morning and once before going to bed. The purpose of cleansing is hydration so, don’t use foam based cleansers as they are quite harsh for your skin. Begin the cleansing process with some good cleansing oil that contains plant extracts. Such cleansers are full of antioxidants that hydrate the skin. For the second cleanse, people having oily skin should use a gel-based cleanser. If you have dry skin then, go for cream and milk-based cleansers.   Tone: One of the most common skin problems among people in their 30s is the uneven skin tone. This is the result of sun-damage, hormonal changes in women and birth control. So, the next step in your skin care routine should be toning. You can get rid of skin discolouration and dark spots by focusing on toning. Use a hydrating toner that contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide in the morning, and for correcting uneven skin tone use AHA formulas based toners in the evening. Ensure that your toner doesn’t contain any perfume, irritants or preservatives.   Exfoliate: Exfoliation is essential for the removal of dead skin cells. Your skin becomes dull if it is not exfoliated regularly due to the accumulation of dead skin cells. So, you need to exfoliate your skin twice a week with a chemical exfoliator to see the results. Try to do it in the night as the skin renewal process usually happens overnight. This process will also improve the tone and texture of your skin by minimizing the appearance of skin pores. People having oily skin should exfoliate once in two weeks.   Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is not dehydrated by drinking enough water. In summers, add lime juice into your water for an extra boost. Also, don’t spend more than a few minutes in the shower as it can become a cause of dehydration. Use lukewarm water while taking a bath to avoid skin dryness. Apply sunscreen   Use Sunscreen and Antioxidant Serums: Your skin needs extra protection after a certain age. So, never get out of the home without applying sunscreen even in winters and during rains. UVA rays remain in the atmosphere every time, and they are “slow agers” that can ruin your younger looking skin. Mix equal proportions of sunscreen with antioxidant serum or a vitamin C serum to give enhanced protection to your skin. The lightweight formula of serums with its small molecular structures can reach deep in your skin to repair it at a deeper level. So, invest in such products.   Anti-Ageing Facials: If you can see the ageing effect on your skin already then, it’s a time to take some more crucial actions. In such a scenario, you should give a try to anti-ageing face packs, masks and facials to get a radiant skin. You can also try natural face masks that prevent ageing such as egg white mask or honey face mask once in a week. This will also improve your skin texture and tone. Fruit facials are best for rejuvenating the skin and preserving its natural glow.   Hair Removal:  Our skin usually loses its tightening and glow due to regular beauty procedures such as wax and threading. Visiting the salon for such procedures on a regular basis also becomes a headache after 30 due to major responsibilities and workload. So, you can save your skin and time both by going for laser hair removal.  In laser hair removal, the dermatologist uses highly concentrated light into your hair follicles to destroy your extra hair forever. Access facial hairs also distort your skin look so; get rid of them once and for all through the hair removal process.   Moisturise:  Moisturising is the key to healthy skin in every age but, it becomes more important when you enter in your thirties. Moisturizer locks the moisture of your skin within it and keeps it hydrated. It contains skin replenishing elements such as glycerine and hyaluronic acid that is good for your skin. Rub a good moisturizing lotion after bath on the slightly damp skin daily to keep your skin healthy and moisturized.   Eye Creams:  The skin surrounding our eyes is much delicate as compared to the skin of our other body parts which is the reason why it loses moisture more rapidly. You should give special care to your eyes otherwise; the dark circles would ruin your beauty. Use eye creams that have a rich hydrating formula to keep the beauty of your under eye area intact. If you can’t purchase these creams then, home remedies like green tea bags, cucumbers, and oil massage can reduce the puffiness and dark circles. So, give extra importance to your skin if you wish to maintain its beauty as you turn 30. Negligence is the main cause of skin problems so, avoid that.
