Tips for Amazing Skin in Your 30s

• Use a gentle, nondrying pH-balanced facial wash in the morning
• Follow with an antioxidant-rich lotion with a minimum SPF of 15
• If you are prone to breakouts, try a spot treatment with ingredients such as grape seed and licorice extract
• Start wearing a tinted moisturizer, loose powder, or foundation to create an even complexion
• If you are still a bit shiny in your 30s, keep oil-absorbing blotting papers on hand to refresh your look

• Wash your face before bedtime.
• Makeup can cause breakouts by blocking the dirt and oils in your pores
• Use a low-concentration glycolic or alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) exfoliator two nights per week if you have dry skin. If your skin is oily, do this three nights per week
• Follow the exfoliator treatment with moisturizer that promotes collagen production

• Plump the fine lines and crow's feet by using an eye cream with a collagen-stimulating ingredient like retinol or kinetin
• To combat puffiness, apply cold cucumbers and sleep with your head elevated

• Hands and chest are often exposed to sun and wind, which makes them more prone to age spots and wrinkles early on
• Slather both areas with hand cream that contains sunscreen and a pigment-lightening ingredient such as kojic or licorice extract to prevent or combat age spots

• Try microdermabrasion, an exfoliation process
