Your skin in your Thirties

Your 30s is the time to invest in your skin and get a serious prevention plan in place that will take you gracefully into the next decade and beyond.

While for the most part our skin still looks radiant in our 30s, this is the decade where we see the first signs of ageing as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid start to decline, and lifestyle and environmental factors start to take their toll on our skin (which is why sunscreen is so important!).

Fine lines and wrinkles begin to form and we start to see the early signs of volume loss, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. Our skin is also not as firm or plump as it once was, and our skin cells are now turning over more slowly, often leaving our skin looking dull and tired.

This decade is the time to maintain your youthful glow by establishing a skin routine focused on boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid to prevent the further signs of ageing from appearing.

To delay the ageing process, treatments should focus on stimulating collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin production and treating skin pigmentation and discolouration. Look at investing in laser treatments like monthly Laser Genesis and Clear + Brilliant, and an annual Fraxel to reduce pigmentation and even out skin tone. Now is also a good time to start investing in skin tightening treatments like Ultraformer III and Thermage to help lift and tighten your neck, décolletage and face and help prevent jowls from forming.

When it comes to your at-home skincare, sunscreen should continue to be an important part of your kit bag. A strong SPF sunscreen is your best weapon in the fight against ageing. In addition to your hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, you should add night repair ingredients like vitamin A retinols to your routine as well as chemical exfoliants like beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to speed up cell turnover and clear congestion.

• Wear a strong SPF sunscreen every day (even if you’re indoors)
• Boost the results of your treatments with at-home active skincare products
• Maximise your results with a holistic plan that combines treatments
• When treating your face, always treat your neck and décolletage at the same time to ensure consistent results
