1. Vitamin A, B, C & E
These vitamins are essential to prevent fine lines, and wrinkles and to keep that glow restored. The best option is to have them from natural resources like spinach, carrot, green leafy vegetables, almonds, citrus fruits, and nuts. You can switch to supplements as well but they are not as good as the natural sources.
Retinoid creams are not the thing for everyone as they are avoided during pregnancy & breastfeeding as they can cause fetal abnormalities. So why not stay away from it always. Switch to natural vitamin A sources such as carrot juice, spinach, and tomato soup, and hey a tomato facial! Papaya for acne, antioxidant-rich fruits and don’t forget our much loved Amla and its huge benefits.
2. Anti-aging cream
The best time to apply an anti-aging cream is when you are still young!
The anti-aging creams boost collagen in your skin which provides elasticity to it as well as hydrates it. Use it in your daily routine religiously and forget about the fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes.
If you want a herbal anti-aging product that is within budget too, then we personally recommend lotus herbal youth Rx anti-aging cream. The ginseng and the Ayurveda herbs in it boost collagen and prevent the skin from wrinkling thus providing you with the best skincare in your 30s. This is not heavy on oily skin and prevents pimples and acne too. Enriched with SPF that doubles the work as a sunscreen too. A must buy (you can buy it from amazon by clicking here.
3. Night cream/Vitamin E for best skincare in your 30s
The night is the best time for the skin to rejuvenate. Why not provide something to help it in that process and you get up looking even more beautiful. Night creams are enriched with vitamin E and we strongly recommend you choose one for your daily skincare routine. Vitamin E can double for your night cream, this one is a budget option. As you just need to cut open a vitamin E capsule, squeeze the vitamin E serum out and massage it over your face and hit the bed!
4. Sunscreen
UVA rays are ‘stealth agers’ as per Huffpost as they are the main culprits to age you, even your computer screen! Grab the details here. Just apply the sunscreen 15-20 minutes before stepping out so that it gets absorbed in your skin and prevents melanin formation. Use the sunscreen liberally over your face, hands, feet, and other areas.
Use hat or scarves too as they provide protection to the eyes and scalp. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of more than 30, although it depends upon the level of sun exposure as well as the weather conditions in your area. Remember sunscreen is your first anti-aging friend, don’t skip it while stepping out.
5. CTM routine
Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing are the basic steps of the best skincare routine in your 30s. Cleaning your face with a gentle cleanser, then tone it up with a natural toner (rose water works best) and followed by a moisturizer (whether it is an anti-aging cream or aloe vera gel for oily skin).
These three simple steps will keep your skin toned up, pores closed, and a healthy glow. Also, don’t forget to clean your makeup before bedtime, read 10 beauty mistakes that are aging you to know more about such sins you must not commit.
6. Vitamin C serum for your royal self
You need a serum only if you have any skin condition as per Nykaa skin experts but vitamin C is a boon for oily skin. As it is very tricky to choose a moisturizer and anti-aging cream for oily and acne-prone skin, vitamin C comes to the rescue.
Although it is quite expensive, but it removes the pigmentation, improves the complexion, and reverses aging. As every skin responds in a different way, so we suggest you buy a small bottle of serum first. If that suits you then go for the bigger bottle. Indeed vitamin C serum is a blessing for oily skin. Here are our best-recommended ones:
7. Adult acne is the new normal and those teenage remedies won’t work
Adult acne starts in your 30s, they occur as a result of hormonal changes and stress. Most females rush for teenage remedies such as over-the-counter acne ointment or home remedies like toothpaste and aloe vera gel. The results will not be as satisfactory as they should be.
As the adult acne is hormonal and needs a perfect balance to get treated from within. Yoga, pranayama, good water consumption, adult acne remedies, meditation, blood-purifier, and amla powder/amla juice (the immortal fruit in Ayurveda) will be your life-savers here.
8. Choose Organic over chemical
This is the time when we choose our best skin-care products and stick to them for at least a decade. So choose them carefully, don’t invest in a chemical-based product, rather opt for a herbal or an organic product.
This will help you in the long run. As the chemical absorption in your skin will be negligible and it will save you from lots of skin and systemic diseases in the future. So choose vegan, organic, or herbal, there are so many options and they don’t burn a hole in your handbag too!
9. Facial once a month
Don’t procrastinate! Even if you think that you don’t need this or don’t have time for this, a facial once a month will shed the age off your skin. All you need is a visit to your beauty parlor and just one hour time. Don’t want to spend on the facial? We have got a solution for it, just buy these Facial Kit by lotus
10. Exfoliate once a week
Exfoliation is the best way to remove the dead cells and let your skin breathe. Exfoliating at night is a good idea as this will give the rest time to your skin for rejuvenation. Just make sure you clean your face before using the exfoliating scrub and apply a face pack (we are in love with no mess sheet packs by Garnier at just INR 99) after that. As the face pack will close the open pores and nourishes your skin from within. (You can buy it by clicking the image)
Moisturize with your night cream after that and have a good night’s sleep, so that you wake up with beautiful skin the next morning. Do it every weekend to relax and get ready for the coming week. For your body scrub, we swear by our DIY wonder scrub that will help treat the blemishes, and uneven skin tone and lightens the stretch marks considerably.
11. Lip scrub
You need a lip scrub even when you think you don’t. With time, the lips turn darker and the dead skin starts creating wrinkles on your lips. This leads to uneven application of the lipstick and overall darker color of your lips.
We love Priyanka Chopra’s DIY lip scrub for this purpose. Just rub it in small circles for two minutes and wipe clean it afterward. Followed by a good lip balm (simple Vaseline works wonders). Don’t forget to apply Vaseline or lip balm before sleeping for moisturized pink lips.
12. Not just face
You are not just your face but your body too. Don’t ignore your neck as far as the anti-aging creams, scrub, toning, and moisturization are concerned. Just go deeper than the neck, pay attention to elbows, knees, and other hidden areas too. Moisturize your hands, always!
13. Eye cream
Baggy eyes, crow’s feet, and dark circles around the eyes are some of the most common problems for skincare in your 30s routine. To prevent these from getting permanent, take a good amount of sleep, use green tea bags on your eyes to relax them, and cucumber slices work well too. Also, invest in a good eye cream or roll-on and make sure you use it religiously.
14. Short showers
Long hot showers make your skin dry and long cold showers make it wrinkled. So the best bet is short lukewarm water showers. You will save a lot of time and water too. Friends famed Jennifer Aniston’s 5-minute shower is one of the most talked-about showers.
Add some essential oils in your last rinse or in your whole bath if you use a bucket & mug bath. Essential oils work great to soothe your senses and have many amazing benefits too. Read the benefits of essential oil for your hair here.
15. Stress-free me time
Sometimes we don’t realize that we are not taking out some time for ourselves. Be it sitting with a cup of joe or reading a book, you need some ‘me-time’ and you must grab it. It reduces the daily stress and energizes you for the day to come. Read this for amazing ideas for your me-time.
16. Sleep, sleep baby
Beauty sleep is real and you must not skip it. Take a good 6 to 8 hours of sleep. Make sure your mattress is firm and your pillow is soft enough to relax your neck. Satin pillows are best to prevent wrinkles. Enjoy your beauty sleep and get up with relaxed skin and mind each morning.
17. Water water & some more water!
Water is the best way to detoxify your body. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day to flush out the toxins. You can also make it herbal by adding a few mint leaves and some lemon slices to it. We recommend glass water bottles over plastic ones. There are pretty beautiful designs available in glass water bottles too. Take it as a very essential part of your anti-aging skincare routine.
18. Grow old gracefully
We are discussing skincare in your 30s but time has its effect on every human being. Some maintain themselves better, some fail to do so due to some circumstantial or health issues. No matter what you do, remember to grow old gracefully.
You can’t stop the age and stop fretting about it. Accept it and behave, dress, and maintain yourself as per your age. Nothing looks more beautiful on a woman than Grace!
19. Lifestyle Modifications
You must have devoured fast-food and sugary drinks throughout all these years. You may have been a couch potato too but this is the time to change your lifestyle for good. Make it a bit healthier by having a healthy balanced diet, shedding those extra kilos, going for a walk, exercising a bit, and more importantly staying positive. As happy people are the most beautiful people!
20. Pranayama & Yoga to regulate your hormones
You are on a roller-coaster ride with your hormones, you need something to regulate your estrogen, and progesterone levels to stay healthy in this reproductive age. The Kapalbhati pranayama and the surya namaskar yoga practice are perfect for beginners.
