The Right Beauty Treatment for You: In Your 30s

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

During your 30s, skin cell turnover slows down and the skin’s outer layer (stratum corneum) becomes clogged with dead skin cells, resulting in a duller complexion. Also collagen and elastin fibres start to become less tight. The result is the beginnings of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around dynamic areas, such as the eyes and forehead. Your skin may also look less even with larger pores.

Treatments to consider in your 30s would be glycolic peels, to encourage skin cell turnover, tighten pores and boost the skin’s elastin and collagen. In addition this is a good age to consider botulinum injections to soften movement around the eyes and frown areas, therefore minimise wrinkles and importantly prevent more lines from forming.


The Right Beauty Treatment for Your 20s

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

During your twenties your skin’s outer layer (stratum corneum) may start to look less even and possibly thicken as dead skin cells build up. However if you protect your skin from sun exposure and maintain a good skin care regime, your skin should remain firm and elastic. However with too much sun exposure, damage will occur and free radicals, encouraged by UV radiation, will attack the skin’s vital collagen and elastin. 

When you’re in your 20s, it is time to use an SPF30 sunscreen and lay down the foundations for maintaining beautiful skin for the rest of your life.
