March 7, 2018 by Jessica Harrington
Your skincare routine looks very different when you’re in your thirties (or older), compared to when you were in your twenties. When you hit 30, a lot changes–including your skin, so your skincare routine should too.
Something you probably didn’t think of using before you turned 30 and had mature skin were skin-firming products. No 22-year-old thinks about keeping her skin firm on a daily basis, because it already is (duh!). However, when you’re in your thirties, you want to start using anti-aging products that have wrinkle-fighting, skin-tightening ingredients.
Ingredients like caffeine and lactic acid help reduce the signs of aging and tighten skin. “Caffeine has potent antioxidant properties. It helps protect against UV radiation and slows down the process of photoaging in the skin,” according to a study in the Skin Pharmacol Physiol journal.
“Lactic acid has the amazing ability to attract and hold moisture since it is a humectant. This helps bring additional moisture to dry or dehydrated skin,” said Lisamarie Gargulio, Director of Education at Luzern Laboratories. Studies have also shown that lactic acid can increase firmness of skin while also fighting signs of aging.
