Best Skin care Routine for 30s – Skincare for 30s

Tips to build a skincare regimen for your 30s

Cleanse Gently

When you enter your 30s, your skin starts losing collagen, making it delicate and weak against environmental aggressors. Therefore, while cleansing, use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type and does not strip off your skin’s natural oils. If you stay outdoors or apply makeup, opt for the double cleansing method to remove dirt, impurities and oil from your skin thoroughly. While picking a cleanser, look for ingredients like vitamin C that help reduce pigmentation and dark spots in your skin. You can try the Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Gel Facewash, which is infused with vitamin C and lemon and eliminates dirt, impurities and oil without making your skin dry.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliation is crucial to remove the build-up of dead skin cells that leads to blackheads and clogged pores. Ageing reduces the skin’s natural exfoliation process, leading to dull skin and pigmentation. Therefore, include exfoliation in your skincare routine once a week. Regular exfoliation will help promote cell turnover, deep cleanse clogged pores, reduce acne and give you smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. However, the wrong choice of exfoliation can irritate your skin causing redness and dryness. Look for gentle exfoliators that are not abrasive and contain ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, etc.

Moisturise Adequately

Moisturising your skin adequately is crucial for all skin types and in all age groups. However, you need to pay more attention to skin nourishment in your 30s to replenish the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture that decreases with age, leading to dry and dull skin. Choose a nourishing moisturiser that is enriched with hydrating ingredients and use it twice daily. A lightweight cream is better for the day to keep your skin nourished all day long, while a richer night cream will help your skin in its repair and rejuvenation process overnight. Try the Garnier Bright Complete Moisturising Serum-in-Lotion which is a lightweight formula that hydrates your skin without any stickiness. For your night-time skin routine, opt for Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Yoghurt Night Cream, enriched with ingredients like Niacinamide, Lemon essence, and Yoghurt Bifidus that gently exfoliates, nourish and repair the skin while you catch up on your beauty sleep.

Protect with sunscreen

While you cannot stop or reverse the ageing process, you can make sure it does not reflect on your skin. How? By indulging in adequate sun protection. Overexposure to sun rays not only causes concerns like sunburn, pigmentation, tanning, etc. but also is a major cause of signs of ageing. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and above in your daily routine to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. The Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream with SPF 40/PA +++ protects your skin against skin tanning, dark spots, and sunburns, making your skin brighter and intensely moisturised naturally. Blue lights from mobile phones, laptops and other electronic devices are also known to emit UV rays. Therefore, make sure that you apply sunscreen daily, even when you are indoors. Look for a lightweight sunscreen that's non-greasy and absorbs quickly to avoid clogged pores and acne breakouts.

Target specific concerns

Whether you need an anti-ageing skincare routine for 30s would depend on your skin concerns and skin type. However, you must change your skincare to target specific concerns that you may begin to notice as you age like fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. You can add targeted treatments to your skincare routine like adding face serums and ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide to reduce the signs of ageing and improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and keep your skin healthy. Try Garnier Wrinkle Lift Anti-Ageing Cream which is infused with cherry and bilberry extract that tightens your skin and gives your skin a youthful appearance.

Skincare in your 30s requires a different approach than skincare in your 20s. As you age, you might see more wrinkles and fine lines, which is your skin’s natural progression of ageing and reduced collagen and hydration. Therefore, while adopting the best skincare routine for 30s to look young and radiant, do ensure to bring the necessary changes in your diet and lifestyle additionally for effective results.
