Five skin essentials for beauties in the late twenties

What is it that is most feared by women in their late twenties? Turning 30! Yes, you heard it. For some, it serves as a peak of their career while for others, it is the time they learn to value their skin, and that often brings with it a newfound devotion to skincare. Yes, there’s, is an increased obsession over stray spots and microscopic lines you’ve never seen before, but is it all in your mind, or does your skin begin to change right when you enter that third decade?

Your skin starts to show signs of ageing only after its reparative abilities slow down due to a careless prolonged sun exposure. Mild brown spots, crows feet and the dreadful fine lines are a reflection of your past behaviour with the skin. The damage that you do to your skin is a cumulative effect and gradually increases after you enter 30’s.

Although these signs cannot be completely reversed, there is a lot you can do to arrest them and slow down its pace. A dedicated skin care regimen is the best gift that you can give yourself. Investing in good quality skin care products will improve the texture of your skin and let it age gracefully.

Five skin care essentials for a beautiful skin:

1. Gentle cleanser - An ideal cleanser should only remove grime and dust, and not rob the

natural beauty oils of the skin. A gentle cleanser like Bioderma Atoderm Creme Lavante is an excellent choice for all skin types, especially dry to very dry skin. This cream based cleanser promises to cleanse without disrupting the skin pH and its natural moisture levels.

2. A face serum with vitamin C- Vitamin C is known for its antioxidant properties and serves as a great sunblock. A 100% protection from is impossible without vitamin C. Vitamin C neutralise the free radicals and boost the production of collagen.

3. Broad-Spectrum Sunblock - Sunscreen is non-negotiable on a daily basis. There are a variety of sunblocks you can choose from, but you should select a broad-spectrum sunscreen that’s SPF 30 or higher. Sun blocks having zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are a great option since they create a nice even finish and can cause fewer breakouts. If you’re outdoors, you should reapply your SPF every two to three hours.

4. Under eye cream - The skin around our eyes is the thinnest skin on our body and one of the first places that develop the signs of ageing. Starting to use eye cream at an early age is a good habit even if you do not have a visible wrinkle. It hydrates the skin to plump it and lessen the wrinkles when you’re older. Try Bioderma Sensibio EyeContour Gel. Its prolonged use reduces the visibility of fine lines and puffiness around the eye area.

5. Moisturiser - Following a cleanser with a moisturiser is a must. A good moisturiser replaces the natural oils, makes the skin youthful and adds life to its radiance. Try Bioderma Hydrabio Legere Light Moisturising Cream. Developed in the BIODERMA Research Laboratories, the Aquagenium®  biological patent found in Hydrabio Legere retrains the skin to activate its natural moisturising capacities by stimulating the production of aquaporins, water channels in the skin, and retain the water it needs to be balanced.

Skin - the reflection of your true health

Ever wondered how everything in your life shows up on your skin? This is because the skin is a mirror that reflects the real you. Skin health is not important only concerning your appearance but also for the endless tasks it performs.

It is a super functioning organ of the body that continuously defends you from many external factors. Harsh summers with damaging Ultraviolet rays, freezing winters that strip off the essential moisture makes it more vulnerable to damage. Rising pollution is also one of the major causes that damage skin and trigger premature ageing.

Pamper the skin you reside in!

You cannot do enough justice to the skin unless you take good care of it. Every beauty diva swears by religiously following a basic regimen of cleansing, toning, and moisturising!

This age-old routine makes sure that the skin breathes well and ensures a healthy glow.

With a variety of skin products in the markets and our little knowledge about it, makes it even harder to choose the right products. The simplest trick to find an appropriate cleanser is choosing the one which is extremely mild and removes all sort of impurities from the skin without robbing the natural moisture levels.

Types of skin and the related products

The best way to NOT choose a wrong product is by knowing your skin better! Normal, oily, dry and sensitive are the four broad categories of skin. While every product in drugstore indicates the type it will suit, the purchases made for sensitive skin are very confusing.  Sensitive skin refers to a type that shows occasional redness and develops issues such as eczema or rosacea easily. It is a general term for skin prone to rashes and experiences blotchy, itchy or stinging reactions from the changing weather or skin care products.

Taking care of sensitive skin is difficult since you can never experiment with products. Often skin turns dry and itchy with a patch of redness making it more vulnerable to damage. In such cases, soothing the skin is most important. Bioderma Cicabio Soothing and Repairing cream, a product of Terra Pharma, is one of the best products that claim to ease discomfort and eliminate redness making your skin loved. Its unique active ingredient Antalgicine™ reduces discomfort and the urge to scratch. The combination of resveratrol, copper, and Centella asiatica boosts epidermal restoration, while zinc keeps bacteria at bay letting the skin safely repair itself. It creates a ‘dressing effect’ which provides extreme hydration for optimum skin comfort.

Remember, your skin is one of the most critical components that reflect good health. So just like you take care of your body from the inside out by with a balanced diet and exercising, you need to take care of your body from the outside in, by protecting your skin that is the most important barrier.
