Skin Care In Your 20’s

It’s no secret that as we age our skin begins to change. In our 20s, the skin is still plump, vibrant, and hydrated. It is something we take for granted but the obvious signs of ageing will become apparent when you enter your 30’s, so it’s important to get into a good routine early so you don’t have the difficult task of trying to reverse the damage and early signs of ageing.

Cleanse Daily

Double cleansing using a gentle cleanser morning and night is the best way to remove makeup, dirt and oil from your skin. Cleansing your skin well is essential for removing impurities that can cause breakouts and other skin issues. Avoid using hot water and harsh scrubs that can damage your skin's natural barrier.

Moisturise Regularly

Moisturising helps to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Choose a moisturiser that is appropriate for your skin type, and make sure to apply it daily. You can apply moisturiser after cleansing or use a moisturiser that has SPF for added protection.

Protect Your Skin

Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is essential to prevent premature aging, sunburn, and skin cancer. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Wear protective clothing like hats and sunglasses and seek shade during peak sun hours.

Exfoliate Weekly

Exfoliating your skin once a week helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture. Choose an exfoliator that is gentle on your skin and avoid over-exfoliating as it can cause irritation and sensitivity.

Get Enough Sleep

Getting enough sleep is vital for overall health and wellbeing, and it also affects your skin. Lack of sleep can lead to dark circles, puffy eyes, and dull skin. Aim for at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night to help your skin look its best.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Dehydration can lead to dry, flaky, and dull skin. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Use Anti-Ageing Products

While your skin is still young and vibrant, it’s never too early to start using anti-aging products. Look for products that contain antioxidants, retinoids, and vitamin C to help prevent premature ageing and improve skin texture.

Skin Treatments To Consider

Have you heard of the term “collagen banking”? Basically it’s undergoing skin treatments now in order to boost your bodys store of collagen before your body starts to deplete them it in your 30’s. Treatments such as micro needling are fantastic for collagen banking and are a great way to keep a glowing, healthy complexion well into your older years.

One injectable treatment that can help with collagen banking as you enter your late 20’s is Bio-remodelling. To find out more about this treatment, have a read of my blog post titled Bio-Remodelling Treatment.

I generally don’t recommend getting anti-wrinkle injections in your early 20’s unless visible static lines are beginning to form (which are the lines on your skin even when you’re not using the muscles.) Save your money and focus on good skin products and regular skin treatments instead!

Taking care of your skin in your 20’s doesn’t have to be complicated. Getting into a good routine now will do wonders for your skin as you will be able to slow down the visible signs of ageing as you enter your 30’s. Trust me, your skin will thank you for it!
