Aging? Please. I’m Just Getting Started.

Aging is a natural process of life, but that shouldn’t result in letting your skin do its own thing; even your skin needs help from time to time. No matter your age, good skin care habits maintain your skin health resilience and keep it youthful-looking. But, even if you didn't begin caring for your skin in your youth, don't panic—your chance hasn't slipped away.

This blog discusses the best ways to support your skin as you age. We’ve discussed why embracing skincare is essential, misconceptions surrounding aging and skincare, and a few simple skincare tips.

Embracing Skin Aging: Why It's Never Too Late to Start Skincare

As we grow older, the skin also changes. It becomes less elastic or firm, less able to retain moisture, and shows the effects of long-term sun exposure. These signs present as wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin conditions.

Instead of panicking and thinking of these changes as negatives, look at them as signals that the skin needs more nourishment and hydration.

Good skincare choices are the way forward. For example, adding an eye cream to brighten and revive tired-looking skin around your eyes is important. Likewise, the use of special nighttime creams to give the skin a burst of intense hydration is a must, as it can help maintain healthy, glowing-looking skin. So embrace skincare at any age; you’ll only be doing yourself a kindness.

The Right Age to Start a Skincare Routine: It’s Never Too Early or Too Late

As the saying goes, “There is no time better than the present.” There's no ‘right’ age to start skincare. It’s just that the sooner you start, the better. Some people begin as early as their teen years when battling acne becomes a priority, while others don't consider it until they notice annoying dryness in their late twenties.

All we can say is begin and don’t look back. Let's clear up some of the most commonly thought misconceptions about starting a skincare journey:

"If I didn’t start young, there’s no point now.": This is false. Your skin can regenerate itself constantly and responds to treatment regardless of age.
"Only expensive products deliver results.": Not necessarily; it’s less about the price of a product and more about the quality of the ingredients that go into it.
"Skincare is only necessary when wrinkles appear.": Prevention and maintenance are key factors in skincare, so skincare is necessary even when there isn’t a wrinkle in sight.

Skincare Routines for Different Ages: Tailoring Your Approach

Your skincare routine must adapt according to your age. Here are a few ways to tailor your approach:

Your 20s: Protect your skin and keep yourself hydrated. Use lightweight lotions and daily sunscreen to prevent premature aging. Many young adults tend to take for granted that their skin is susceptible to sun damage and dry skin.
Your 30s: Antioxidant serums and gentle exfoliation maintain the skin's even tone and radiance. Continuously use the best ingredients throughout this decade of your life.
Your 40s and above: You require supporting collagen production and improving hydration in your 40s. Most nourishing creams and Yerba Mate Night Revival Cream will assist in supporting your skin's defenses and needs.

Simple Skincare Tips to Combat Skin Aging at Any Age

A good routine base is cleanser, hydration, antioxidants, and sun protection, and then tweaking the bones of your skincare routine by adding targeted treatments (Yerba Mate Radiance Eye Cream) to treat any areas of concern, like dark circles under the eyes.

With this in mind, let’s dive into the tips that can help you combat skin aging at any age:

Drink Water: Proper water intake maintains the elasticity and luster of your skin. Internally hydrating your body is just as important as externally hydrating it with creams and serums.
Wear SPF Daily: Sun exposure accelerates skin aging, making applying sunscreen daily a must, even if it's overcast.
Exfoliate Gently: Removing dead skin cells and excess dirt with an exfoliator will contribute to smooth, healthy-looking skin.
Lock in the Moisture: Choose an ingredient-rich night cream for your evening skincare routine to keep the skin hydrated overnight.
Prioritize Your Wellbeing: Good sleep and a healthy diet often result in a healthy-looking skin.
