THE BEST SKINCARE ROUTINES

GET RADIANT SKIN WHATEVER DECADE YOU’RE IN

Whether you’re fresh-faced or older and wiser, knowing how to care for your skin at each stage of your life is the key to complexion confidence. We wanted to bring you a guide focused on each decade to give you some tips on how to look after your skin and radiate positivity at any age. We asked Vanda Serrador, Facialist and Body Care Expert for The Body Shop how to care for your skin at each stage of your life.

IN YOUR TEENS

In your teens and early 20s, skin is young and versatile. Your skincare routine at this stage is often as simple as cleansing, toning and moisturising, in order to combat debris.

Blemished, oily skin and dry skin, however, can benefit from products enriched with tea tree oil, targeted gels or a more intricate cleansing routine. Try our powerfully cleansing, imperfection-reducing Tea Tree range, infused with Community Trade tea tree oil sustainably sourced from the foothills of Mount Kenya.

IN YOUR 20S

“Elasticity and hydration of the skin are at their peak in your 20s, but from 25 onwards, elasticity starts to drop. I find that most women in their 20s don't hydrate themselves enough, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles – especially around the eyes.

I always recommend women in their 20s to start investing in good skincare products to reduce and prevent signs of premature ageing, maintaining their youthful and healthy-looking skin as long as possible.

Opt for lightweight serums or lotions to hydrate your skin. Since you may have just left the years of teenage breakouts, you will want to keep them at bay and not use heavy creams that may clog your pores. You may still be enjoying late nights with friends. Make sure you are obsessed with cleaning your skin before you go to bed!

STEP 5. REPLENISH OVERNIGHT

STEP 6. EXFOLIATE

Once or twice a week, peel away impurities with the Youth Liquid Peel.

IN YOUR 30S

Youthful skin has abundance of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. As the years go by, these start to decrease. After the age of 30, our skin loses about 1% of collagen a year. Smoking, unmanaged stress and a sedentary, unhealthy lifestyle can speed up the process.

In this decade you may start to notice fine lines around your eyes or even on your forehead. You may also notice your skin becoming more uneven in type and tone, with a mix of dehydration on the cheeks and jawline and oily on the T-zone.

This is the time to invest in an anti-ageing skincare range. Your skin will benefit from formulas that help to firm its appearance. Using oil products in your 30s can help support skin renewal as it nourishes the cells, adding hydration to help keep skin plump and supple.
