Our top tips for beautiful skin at any age – in your 30’s

Skin

The thirties are a time for change in the skin as the growth hormone starts to slow down and collagen levels begin to decline. Skin takes longer to repair itself and hormone levels may be changing to cause more problems.

I’m delighted that many of our customers are in their late 20’s early 30’s, you’ve heard the mantra, ‘if only I knew then what I know now’. Well for me that is definitely true with skin and here are our top tips to help you avoid some of the pitfalls and take you through this decade.

Our skin cell turnover has now slowed down to around 45 days meaning we start to see fine lines and wrinkles appearing, pigmentation might be appearing, and sometimes Rosacea. The Collagen and elastin fibres become thinner meaning our skin starts to loose its elasticity. Fat cells also begin to shrink and the moisture from our skin begins to decline meaning a duller thinner looking skin.

1. Sun protection.

Sun does accelerate the ageing process so using a good quality SPF daily is a must it’s like putting on a protective jacket for the skin. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB and this can cause damage to the keratinocytes in the basal layer of the skin.  Look for some of the newer SPF’s that contains not only UVB and UVA protection but Infrared and Blue light protection

2. Pigmentation problems

Pregnancy can cause problems with pigmentation, known as melasma, this is further intensified with exposure to sun, so the first step is a good SPF.  Red light therapy is amazing for collagen renewal but green light treatment can reduce pigmentation formation by up to 60%. Be cautious about having IPL treatment for pigmentation, this is typically good for individual spots but for melasma it may cause deeper pigmentation to come to the surface.

3. Dehydration and fine lines

Vitamin A is a great addition to a night routine this will help to remove the build up of dead skin cells and allow the skin to look fresher. Vitamin C can be added into routines in a morning this is a great Antioxidant and helps to stimulate Collagen and brighten the skin. Hyaluronic acid  is a good investment as a serum and you will also find this wonder ingredient in 3 of our wonder supplements, Collagen Shots, H3O Hydration and H3O Night Repair.

4. Eat a healthy and varied diet, keep alcohol levels low and reduce sugars and processed foods. Have you registered on our site, if so look in your personal account and you will find e books with programs for great skin.

5. Supplements for the over 30’s
