You’re probably aware of the fact that your skin goes through a number of changes as you progress through life. After all, the skin of a 60-year-old looks very different to the skin of a 20-year-old! With that said, keep tailoring your skincare routine to your age and you’ll be able to consistently cater to your skin’s evolving needs, enabling you to maintain your complexion’s youthful luminosity well into the later stages of your life.
However, how exactly do you go about doing that? Read on as Bionyx shares what you need to know about skincare for different ages.
Your Skin in Your 20s
While your hormones may no longer be quite as turbulent as they were in your teenage years, there’s still a large amount of hormonal activity in your 20s. This means that if you suffered from teenage acne breakouts, they’re likely to spill over into this decade. You’ll need to ensure that your skincare routine targets this while also giving your 20-something skin everything else that it needs.
Sun protection is a big part of this. Diligence about sunscreen from now will go a long way in preventing the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots later on in life. Hydration is key too. This is particularly important since, from your mid-20’s onward, your skin will start to lose its natural glow and radiance.
Skincare Products to Try in Your 20s
The Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling
While you may have been able to get away with irregularly exfoliating in your teens, your 20s is when you need to get serious about this. Pick the right exfoliator and stick with it, and you could encourage a pimple-free complexion much sooner than you imagined.
This is where the Bionyx Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling comes in. Not only will it help to prevent clogged pores but it’s also a superstar at brightening the look of the skin. It will leave your skin with a soft and polished finish, giving it a smooth-looking texture.
The Platinum Transformative Thermal Mask
Ready to add a touch of luxury to your skincare routine? Meet the Bionyx Platinum Transformative Thermal Mask. This is a fantastic skincare product to start using in your 20s. It will help to balance out how greasy your skin feels while also working to keep your skin feeling strong and healthy.
The fact that it’s a thermal mask is the icing on the cake. The warmth that it emits as it’s applied to the skin feels super-soothing. In the end, this helps to leave the skin looking even more purified.
Your Skin in Your 30s
Your 30s is when your skin enters into the post-puberty stage. The good news is that your hormones won’t be fluctuating in quite the same way anymore. This will help to rebalance oiliness and calm your complexion down.
The bad news? This also means that your skin will start to display signs of damage, whether this be from the aging process, the sun, your lifestyle habits, stress, or anything else. The fact that collagen production, as well as hyaluronic acid production, slows down at this stage in life inhibits your skin from fully bouncing back from that damage.
What does this damage look like? Fine lines, which usually develop once a person reaches their 30s. These will likely appear around your eyes first before becoming visible in other areas of your face. An uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation may also be issues. These are both signs of environmental damage starting to take its toll.
Skincare Products to Try
Here are some skincare products that will help you to stave off the appearance of aging while you’re in your 30s:
The Platinum Transformative Cream
The Bionyx Platinum Transformative Cream tends to be a go-to among those who are trying to prevent the visible signs of aging from creeping up on their skin. It’s filled with ingredients that would benefit just about anyone who is in their 30s.
For starters, it’s wonderfully hydrating. Lactic acid is partly responsible for this, with this alpha-hydroxy acid loved for how it also brightens and smooths the complexion. Meanwhile, licorice root extract will lighten the look of any dark spots that are emerging and the numerous antioxidants will hold off the appearance of wrinkles.
The Rhodium Advanced Eye Cream
Since the eye area is usually the first place to start displaying the visible signs of aging, an eye cream can be a useful addition to your skincare routine when you’re in your 30s. Look for a multi-tasking formula, just like the Bionyx Rhodium Advanced Eye Cream.
This eye cream will smooth away the look of crow’s feet and other creases. At the same time, it will plump up your complexion to leave your eye area looking radiant and youthful.
Your Skin in Your 40s
The effects of aging will start to accumulate in your 40s. This is exacerbated by how collagen and elastin production slow down even more in this decade. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles are pretty much inevitable.
This is also when your skin’s outer layer becomes significantly more fragile. It loses its strength and elasticity, making it less capable of resisting pressure. Gravity is one source of this pressure, meaning that your skin will start being pulled down, leaving it looking saggy and loose.
Skincare Products to Try
Although the changes that your skin undergoes in your 40s can feel quite demoralizing, the right skincare products can help you to restore a smooth and bouncy look to your complexion:
The Rhodium Mousse Cleanser
With your skin thinning out and becoming more fragile, being gentle with it is crucial. The last thing that you want to do is cause any additional damage, so make sure that your skincare products aren’t going to harm your skin’s outer layer.
Cleansers are known for doing this, making now a good time to ensure that your cleanser is gentle and moisturizing. Go with a formula like the Bionyx Rhodium Mousse Cleanser and you won’t have to worry. It’s brimming with ingredients that soothe and condition the complexion, which is how it leaves the skin feeling beautifully supple and soft.
The BioLift Platinum Deep Wrinkle Concentrate
Once you’re in your 40s, completely halting the appearance of wrinkles is difficult. However, with the Bionyx BioLift Platinum Deep Wrinkle Concentrate, you’ll be able to prevent your existing lines from looking deeper while also preventing new visible creases from forming quite so quickly.
This is all thanks to the powerful ingredients in this serum. It features vitamins A, C, and E – a must-use trio when you’re in your 40s. Sodium hyaluronate is in this blend too. Its hydrating properties will give your skin a fuller and more volumized finish, countering the appearance of sagging. Meanwhile, plant oils and proteins give the skin a stronger and firmer feel.
Your Skin in Your 50s and Beyond
Hormonal fluctuations become more common once a person is in their 50s, with menopause usually not too far away. This impacts the skin in a few ways. Firstly, blood flow slows down, resulting in dullness and a loss of radiance. Lipid production drastically declines too, causing the skin to feel dry and rough. This also makes wrinkles look deeper and more rigid.
With UV damage continuing to accumulate, dark spots will become more noticeable too. This is coupled with yet another drop in elasticity and skin thickness. This makes dryness even worse, often accompanied by itching. Due to thinning skin, sensitivities and irritation become more common as well. Your skin may start to react negatively to products that it has happily tolerated in the past.
Skincare Products to Try
Here are a couple of skincare products worth adding to your routine once you hit your 50s:
The Rhodium Night Cream
The Bionyx Rhodium Night Cream will help to tackle several of the skin issues that you’ll experience when you’re in your 50s. To start with, it’s wonderfully moisturizing. It will leave your skin feeling thicker and stronger, meaning that it won’t look quite so crepey and fragile anymore.
The inclusion of shea butter means that this cream will work wonders on your skin barrier. Shea butter has humectant, occlusive, and emollient properties, all of which you need when you’re in your 50s. Pair this with the proteins and antioxidants in the moisturizer and your skin will take on a youthful glow!
The Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe
Wish there was a way to banish the appearance of wrinkles without having to resort to professional treatments? The Bionyx Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe can help, albeit temporarily. This fast-acting formula quickly smooths away the look of creases to give the skin a firmer, line-free finish.
As you can imagine, these effects are down to some pretty high-performance ingredients! With a blend of sodium hyaluronate, acetyl hexapeptide-8, and DMAE, it gets to work straight away. It also contains a few other ingredients worth knowing about, including vitamin A, vitamin E, cucumber fruit extract, and avocado oil.
Caring for Your Skin as You Grow Older
As you can see, there are so many changes that take place in the skin as you progress through each decade of life. The earlier you begin your skincare efforts, the more youthful your complexion will look as you grow older. Having said that, it’s never too late to improve your complexion, no matter your age. With the skincare products that we’ve featured above, you’ll be able to give your skin all that it needs, ensuring a youthful glow for many more years to come!
