Most young women in their 20s think that they don’t need to go further beyond a very basic skincare routine, and for the most part, they can get away with it. It’s true: your skin doesn’t require much upkeep during this time. However, you know that you won’t be able to keep your youthful glow forever, and how you treat your skin now will determine its health and quality in the years to come. Below are a few preventative habits that you may want to consider getting into now:
Incorporate anti-aging products into your routine
A lot of twenty somethings tend to put off using anti-aging products, thinking that they don’t yet need to use them. Anti-aging products are often targeted towards those who are already seeing signs of it on their faces, and when you’re in your 20s, your skin is at its peak–not a wrinkle or blemish in sight.
However, anti-aging products aren’t just for turning back the clock on your skin. They can also help your skin maintain its youthful appearance for longer, especially when you start getting into them early on. Among the ingredients that you may want to consider including in your skincare routine now include vitamin C and retinol, which help brighten the complexion and encourage the production of collagen, which is crucial to the development of new skin cells.
Organic Cosmetica’s anti-aging face oil, Fresh Face Age-Defying Oil Serum, is a doctor-developed product that contains a natural retinol alternative, bakuchiol, as well as certified organic sea buckthorn fruit, açai, jojoba, baobab seed, and tucuma oils. This anti-aging face oil also contains acerola and elderberry fruit extracts, and is packed with other natural sources of vitamins A, C, and E.
Apply sunscreen religiously
The sun is your skin’s worst enemy. UVA and UVB rays are one of the primary causes of sun damage that causes signs of aging, and overexposure to them can accelerate their appearance on your skin.
Applying sunscreen is your first line of defense against looking older than you actually are. The American Dermatology Association recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen products that can protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. Your sunscreen should also carry a label of SPF 30 or higher, which blocks about 97% of UVB rays. Finally, you should apply sunscreen whether you’ll be indoors or outdoors for most of the day. If you are going to be spending most of your time outdoors, it’s best to apply sunscreen at least a half hour before stepping out.
Don’t skip the eye cream
Skin is thinnest in the area around your eyes. This makes it more prone to dryness, which is why you almost always spot signs of aging such as wrinkles and crow’s feet there first.
You may think that you don’t need a dedicated product for your eye area just yet, but reversing the damage once it’s been done will be an uphill battle. It’s best to invest in preventative care before that happens. Look for an eye cream that contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which both help the skin naturally retain moisture. Other ingredients to keep an eye out for include vitamin C and niacinamide, which brighten the skin.
