Here are some basic and effective face skincare methods that can be used to keep your facial skin looking its best once you’re well past your 30’s.

• Have your dermatologist or esthetician perform a glycolic acid treatment on the facial skin to help fade age spots and other glaring reminders of sun damage. This can also help lessen the appearance of wrinkles.
• Use sunscreen daily (no exceptions!)
• Use moisturizer daily (on the whole body as well as the face)
• Keep a bottle of aromatic hydrosol nearby so that you can spray a fine mist on your facial skin whenever it feels overly dry.
• Use a moisturizing facial mask 2-3 times per week to help keep your skin vibrant. Clay masks should be avoided if possible due to their drying effects.
• Only use mild milk or cream cleansers unless you have extremely oily skin.
• If it falls within your budget, visit an esthetician monthly for a full spa treatment including a facial and massage. This can do wonders for the skin (inside and out).
• Get a skin analysis done once a year at your dermatologist’s office. Because aging skin may be more prone to certain diseases, this will help you tackle them quickly should they appear.
