How your skin changes with age – and how to care for it
2 min read
Moisture and prevention
In your twenties, skin is often at its most elastic and plump. Collagen production is high, giving a firm, youthful appearance, although hormonal changes may cause acne or oiliness.
Tip – Use a light moisturiser that balances skin’s natural oils. Make sunscreen part of your daily routine. Gentle exfoliation can help keep pores clear and reduce the risk of acne.
Prevent signs of ageing
In your thirties, collagen production begins to decrease. Fine lines may appear, especially around the eyes and mouth. The moisture barrier may also weaken, leaving skin drier and more sensitive to external factors.
Tip – Choose antioxidant-rich products to counter free radicals and a lighter cream that supports collagen production and the moisture barrier. Eye cream can help address early lines around the eyes.
Restore and protect
In your forties, fine lines often become more noticeable and skin may lose elasticity. Natural cell renewal slows, which can lead to uneven tone, dryness and less firmness.
Tip – Use a more hydrating moisturiser. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and bakuchiol can support renewal and hydration. Regular exfoliation helps stimulate cell renewal and maintain radiance.
Support and nourishment
From your fifties onward, collagen and elastin production decrease significantly. Skin becomes thinner, drier and more prone to pigmentation and deeper wrinkles. Nourishment and protection become especially important.
Tip – Choose nourishing ingredients that support barrier function and hydration. Richer creams help restore moisture balance and reduce dryness. Continue daily sunscreen to protect against UV damage.
Skin changes with age, but adapting your routine can help it stay radiant and healthy. Appropriate nourishment, protection and care at every stage of life support strong, healthy skin.
