In Your 20's

Your 20’s are an essential time to be proactive! Commit to discovering the core products that work for your lifestyle and skin type. Favor a foam cleanser? Need an all-natural toner? Love a lightweight moisturizer? Have fun finding the brands that make you look and feel your best!

More ways to stay proactive with your skin care is by deep cleansing, removing eye makeup before bed, drinking enough water, and applying SPF each morning! We are strong believers in using SPF products 365 days a year to shield from harmful UV rays. Diligence with sun protection counts, and your skin will thank you when it’s more mature.

Along with core products and daily SPF, invest in an active ingredient to offset tired skin and sun damage. Salycic acid is one that buffs the skin, helps prevent hormonal breakouts, and lightens pigmentation from acne scars.

Pro Tip: Apply active ingredients neat on the skin before bed! Sleep in them overnight for maximum benefit.

In Your 30's

A preventative approach to your skin care routine pays off! Stay ahead of the aging game in your 30’s with a strong skincare strategy designed to stop signs of aging in their tracks.

Keep fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles at bay with glycolic acid, which sinks in quickly to exfoliate and promotes skin elasticity. Glycolic acid is fantastic for prepping skin for moisturizers and serums that may follow in both AM and PM routines.

Use glycolic acid with vitamin C products, which are designed to brighten and restore your complexion. Vitamin C helps you maintain a vibrant, even skin tone without sun exposure, and can be used year-round for a consistent sun-kissed glow.

Pro Tip: Always apply SPF on top of vitamin C products to protect against sun damage and sensitivity.

In Your 40's

The best way to fight signs of aging in your 40’s? Curate your own army of defensive skin care to battle against visible dark spots, lines, and lackluster skin.

Retinol is a pillar in anti-aging skin care, and for a good reason! This coveted ingredient is proven to solve the appearance of sun damage as well as wrinkles and uneven texture. Retinol also brightens and firms under eye skin for a well-rested complexion.

Wrinkles are also no match for an amazing serum! Serum instantly smooths the skin’s surface, fills fine lines, settles pigmentation, and shrinks enlarged pores. Look for a serum with targeting ingredients for your specific concern areas. We’re a huge fan of hyaluronic acid for maintaining plump and supple skin, and it locks in moisture within minutes of application.

Pro Tip: Simply dab your serum onto your face and let it sink in! There’s no need to rub it in.

In Your 50's

In your 50’s, comfort is key. Why would your skin care be any different? By shifting focus to treatments for your skin, you’ll discover new ways that skin care is one of life’s best luxuries.

Mature skin is more delicate, so look for a moisturizer with collagen to promote elasticity, hydration, and protection. Collagen keeps the skin barrier strong by stimulating healthy cell growth and blood circulation, and protects by keeping out free radicals.

Elevate your hydration treatments with an eye cream or mask! By staying stocked-up on your favorite products, you’re more likely to use them, therefore more likely to see the benefits. One of our #1 beauty investments is a luxury-grade eye cream that you know will leave your shelf at least once a day.

Pro Tip: Have trouble remembering to apply eye cream? Keep them out where you can see them such as an eye-level shelf or counter top.

Remember that every smile you’ve had has led you here.

We all age, grow, and evolve with our skin. While aging might be daunting, you’ll always have some friends to help you along the way (Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Eve Lom to name a few.) You’re bound to be beautiful through the decades! Keep smiling, laughing, and enjoying the ride.
