Dull complexion, swelling, signs of fatigue under the eyes, wrinkles... Don’t despair, making your skin beautiful is in your hands.
At this age, the restoration process in cells noticeably decreases, the skin loses its tone due to the slowdown in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which is why the first wrinkles appear. Just moisturizing your skin is no longer enough. It still needs to be restored and protected.
Care must be constant, comprehensive and thorough. In short, if you want to look young, don’t be lazy! Spending fifteen minutes on yourself every day in the morning and evening is not at all difficult. And the result will be on your face.
At our request, the medical director of the Vichy brand, Olga Ganelina, formed eight “golden” rules for skin care after 30 years. So!
- 1 Rule one: To prevent your face from being swollen the next morning, reduce the amount of liquid you consume at night. It is better to drink a cup of tea, a glass of mineral water or juice no later than two hours before bedtime. In this case, all excess fluid will have time to “leave” from the body.
- 2 Rule two: Try to visit a cosmetologist regularly, at least once a month. Professional skin care is very important.
- 3 Rule three: Twice a year it is useful to undergo a course of lymphatic drainage massage for the face. Typically one course includes five to seven sessions. After these procedures, blood microcirculation in the vessels improves, the skin looks noticeably younger, its tone increases, and fine wrinkles disappear for a couple of months, especially in the nasolabial folds. If you don’t have time to go to a beauty salon, then do a facial massage yourself once a week after a cleansing mask. Lightly pinch the skin along the massage lines in a circular motion.
- 4 Rule four: Protective cream should be on your dressing table! Choose those that stimulate collagen production in cells. The substances contained in such creams “push out” wrinkles from the inside, even out the skin texture, strengthen its lipid barrier, and improve complexion.
Nourishing cream is best used if you have dry or very dry skin. The nourishing cream should include antioxidant vitamins A, E, C and vitamin F, which relieves irritation and eliminates the feeling of tightness. - 5 Rule five: All your creams, as well as decorative cosmetics, must contain an SPF filter. Protecting your skin from UV rays is especially important if you sit at a computer all day.
- 6 Rule six: Do not neglect facial serums! But they need to be used together with cream. Unlike cream, serums contain a much higher concentration of biologically active components; they penetrate faster into the deep layers of the epidermis. To prevent your skin from becoming oversaturated with potent substances, use serums in courses, twice a year - in autumn and spring. The ideal option is to apply the serum under the cream in the morning or evening.
- 7 Rule seven: It’s good to put a mask on your face twice a week. At your disposal are cleansing (for oily skin - clay-based is better), restoring, toning and moisturizing.
The composition of such masks, as a rule, includes collagen, elastin, B vitamins, vitamin A, E, minerals and fruit acids. All these components perfectly care for the skin of the face, nourish it, saturate it with moisture and tone it.
If you have combination skin, you can use two masks at the same time: for example, apply a cleansing mask to oily areas for oily skin, and apply a cleansing mask to dry areas for dry skin. Rejuvenating and skin-tightening masks can be used no more than once every two weeks. The concentration of active substances in such masks is very high, the skin may get used to it and stop reacting. Or, even worse, an allergy will begin. You need to remove any mask from your face very carefully, without stretching the skin. - 8 Rule eight: Care for the skin around the eyes should be special. Age-related changes are primarily noticeable under the eyes. Select products depending on the problem you want to get rid of. For example, there is an eye cream with a lifting effect, a cream that relieves swelling, and a cream for dark circles under the eyes. The cream you use on your face will not work. In this area, the skin is especially thin and delicate, its thickness is one third of the rest of the skin. There are no fat cells or sebaceous glands on the eyelids, which means they are less protected from environmental influences. In addition, facial expressions play a big role in the appearance of the eyelids. When buying an eye cream, make sure that the jar is marked “the product has passed ophthalmological control.” This will help avoid possible allergic reactions.
There are many secrets and subtleties that make up facial skin care after 30 years, and most of them require very little effort and time. It is difficult to meet a lady who, in adulthood, would not dream of looking like an eighteen-year-old girl. Many of them forget that desire alone is not enough - constant procedures are needed, which can be carried out even at home. Just a few minutes a day not to watch your favorite TV series, but to pay attention to yourself - and your face will definitely shine with freshness, youth and health.
For sagging skin, age is not a barrier, and the moment when it inevitably begins to become covered with wrinkles and lose elasticity cannot be avoided. Don’t panic in advance - you can push it back significantly and remain beautiful for a long time. You can take care of your facial skin after 30 years at home without the help of a specialist, just with a little patience. And we will tell you about all the nuances of working with skin that shows the first signs of age-related changes!
Usually, with good nutrition and health, skin at 30 years old does not yet have clear signs of aging. Most often, small facial wrinkles and a slight drooping of the oval are visible on it. It is quite possible to combat such changes by going to a cosmetologist 1-2 times every six months and using high-quality cosmetics.
What happens to a woman’s facial skin after 30 years?
To understand what exactly needs to be paid more attention to, you should understand what processes occur deep in the layers of the epidermis:
- the sebaceous glands work unstably, slowing down the secretion;
- muscle tone decreases (crow's feet appear, numerous small wrinkles near the lips and nose, sagging is noticeable on the cheeks);
- the skin becomes dry and loses moisture;
- blood flow is disrupted, as a result of which the face loses its color;
- elastin and collagen fibers are practically not produced, which further reduces elasticity.
This is quite enough to understand that you cannot do without comprehensive care, and the struggle ahead is serious. You should not hope that decorative cosmetics will save the situation - if at first you can “cover up” the defects quite successfully, after a while even tons of products will not be able to hide wrinkles or sagging. The only way out here is to carry out procedures that can fill the skin tissue with nutrients, moisturize, and tone.
Care depending on skin type
Before you begin the procedures, you should understand what proper facial skin care after 30 consists of. There are many subtleties and nuances here, because each skin is individual and requires special treatment.
The first stage in carrying out home treatments is to find out what type of skin to choose products for:
- Normal. Without any special defects - spider veins, stains, greasy shine. Caring for it will not be difficult, but if you neglect it, the sebaceous glands will instantly react and begin to produce fat much more intensely.
- Combined. The T-zone is usually oilier than other areas, and it also ages much faster. It is these places that the greatest attention should be paid during procedures.
- Dry. It is characterized by increased dryness and blood vessels visible through a thin layer of skin. Without proper care, it quickly becomes covered with wrinkles.
- Fat. The active work of the sebaceous glands is noticeable at first glance - a fatty layer is constantly visible on the face. There is no need to worry too much about this after the age of 30 - usually it becomes combined and requires normal care.
Each home cosmetology recipe is recommended for a particular skin type, so you definitely need to pay attention to these details.
The procedure for caring for healthy facial skin at 30 should begin with washing with cool water and a light massage (acupressure or simple patting). This will increase blood circulation, improve tone, and allow nutrients to penetrate the layers of the epidermis.
Be sure to use moisturizers (masks, creams). It is better not to use nutritional preparations - they stimulate the appearance of wrinkles. In the evening, cleanse the skin with a special milk, gel or mask.
What is the care for dry skin after 30 and how to prolong youth? In the morning, be sure to wipe your face with a cleansing tonic, massage, and apply any high-fat product (kefir, yogurt, sour cream). You can make your own homemade mask. Be sure to apply moisturizer every day.
In the evening, repeat the manipulations with the cleansing tonic. Be sure to apply a moisturizer (you can alternate it with a nourishing cream).
Unhappy owners of oily skin often make mistakes that are immediately reflected on the face in the form of wrinkles, a scattering of pimples and blackheads. What are their mistakes and how to take care of oily skin after 30 years without mistakes?
Main errors and their corrections:
- Using hot water for washing. This stimulates the sebaceous glands and causes oily shine. The liquid should be cool or lukewarm.
- Using oily cosmetics (store-bought or homemade). Thanks to this, pimples appear that do not decorate the face at all. The composition should be low-fat, plant-based.
- Washing with hard water. The results of the procedure are the appearance of irritation. It is better to use decoctions of sage or mint for washing - this will not only have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, but will also give an even, healthy shade.
- Applying fatty face powder. The effect after the procedure is amazing - the skin looks like a mask with layers of cosmetic product. It's easy to correct the mistake - use loose powder, it will draw out sebum.
To correct the situation, it is recommended to constantly use drying masks; the only requirement is that they should not contain alcohol, which stimulates the secretion of fat.
Caring for combination skin after 30 is not difficult, the main thing is to strictly adhere to the recommendations of specialists:
- select cosmetic preparations intended only for this type;
- if homemade formulations are used, preference should be given to products for oily and dry types, applying them to the corresponding areas of the face;
- Be sure to do deep cleaning weekly;
- make masks based on plant materials (St. John's wort, birch, yarrow, cucumbers, citrus fruits).
In the evening, apply cream for combination skin or make a special mask.
Facial skin care after 30 years - secrets and recommendations
There are many tricks that turn facial care at 30 at home into pleasure. You don’t need to go to a salon for this, you can do everything yourself and look well-groomed and always young.
Step-by-step care:
- start the day with proper washing, using tonic or milk, but in no case soap;
- have breakfast only with healthy dishes, include fruits, herbs, vegetables in your diet, give up sweets;
- drink plenty of fluids – green tea, plain water, vitamin fruit drinks and juices;
- use special anti-aging products (cream, mask, tonic, lotion);
- regularly cleanse and nourish the skin with masks;
- Be sure to remove any remaining makeup before going to bed.
Alcohol and cigarettes also leave their mark on the face, so it is better to sacrifice a few minutes of pleasure and get glowing youthful skin in return.
We advise you to listen to the advice of a cosmetologist on skin care after 30 years:
You can combine two skin care processes at home. The easiest option for moisturizing and nourishing is to purchase special products labeled “after 30.” You can use them at 32 or 45 - the effect will not change.
The creams should contain the following ingredients:
- any essential oil;
- nutrients;
- vitamins;
- moisturizing components;
- UV filters.
A little trick - in summer it is better to give preference to light formulations, but in winter choose richer products that will protect the skin from the harmful effects of frosty air.
The necessary steps in skin care should be toning and cleansing, which will get rid of excess fat. Tips from a cosmetologist for facial care:
- use special products (milk, gel for washing);
- regularly remove dust and dirt using scrubs;
- The entire face should be cleaned;
- Be sure to use homemade or store-bought masks.
The skin must constantly breathe, so it is better not to overuse cosmetics.
Grooming rules include removing makeup, which is where women make fatal mistakes. Few requirements:
- do not leave makeup on overnight;
- remove decorative cosmetics with special compounds;
- Do not use force or vigorously rub your eyes or skin;
- do “fasting” days, allowing your face to rest.
If you feel a little discomfort on your face after removing makeup, it is better to experiment with another milk or foam - there is a possibility that the product was chosen incorrectly.
Regardless of when ladies over 30 undergo facial care, in the fall, spring, or winter, it needs to be done regularly and carefully. Folk remedies that are as effective as expensive drugs will come to the rescue here.
The most commonly used plant materials here are leaves, roots, inflorescences. You can add products from the refrigerator - cottage cheese, sour cream and honey have no less effective effects and perfectly nourish the epidermal cells.
We should not forget that daily facial care should also include procedures in the areas around the eyes. There are no special requirements here, but masks against crow’s feet should become a necessary habit after 30.
You can use purchased drugs or homemade formulations for the procedures - there is no significant difference between them. The only requirement is to carry them out constantly; it is much easier to prevent wrinkles than to deal with them later.
Body care is not only a procedure for the face, the neck also needs to be given due attention. There is no need to experiment or invent special formulations - the skin of the face and neck is practically the same, so you can use the same products. The use of nourishing and moisturizing compositions on the neck is simply necessary, because it also quickly becomes flabby and loses its elasticity.
Regular skin care includes not only daytime, but also evening treatments:
- washing;
- toning;
- applying a cream intended for ladies over 30 years old;
- deep cleansing;
- makeup removal;
- applying a night product (cream for 30 years).
Each of these points must be followed strictly - only this guarantees a successful result.
Salon facial skin care after 30
After 30, procedures carried out in the salon are simply necessary, because homemade compositions are unlikely to penetrate deep into the tissues of the epidermis. For ladies over 30, there are many salon procedures:

The procedures necessary in a particular case are prescribed only by a specialist, paying more attention to problem areas.

After 30, you shouldn’t start preparing for the rapidly approaching old age - life goes on! Daily witchcraft with home remedies on your face will certainly lead to amazing results.
Continuing the topic of facial skin care, the women's site sympaty.net today will try to be useful for girls who are at their most feminine age - after 30 years. In this article we will combine 2 age periods - period 30-40 years and after 40 years. There are many similarities in nursing, but we will certainly pay attention to the differences between them.
In general, it should be noted that the most important thing for facial skin care after 30 years (as, indeed, at any other age) is his presence in your life 🙂
With age, only the inscriptions on the jars and the composition of cosmetics change, but all the names remain the same. Therefore, today we will not focus much on ordinary things, so as not to repeat 2 previous articles on this same topic (care for young skin and care for skin 25-30 years old).
All the processes and mechanisms that we were warned about when we were 25-30 years old are now being launched absolutely accurately. And they begin to appear on the skin first wrinkles. Appears in the body more free radicals (such bad elements that steal precious and nutrients from our cells) and due to this the skin condition worsens. Besides, the skin becomes thinner, therefore more prone to the appearance of wrinkles, swelling, etc.
So necessary for our skin collagen is no longer synthesized as intensively as it was before, so the skin begins to lose its elasticity.
The process of moisture loss that began after 25 years continues to operate; you need to keep this in mind when choosing a facial skin care system after 30 years.
In this age metabolic rate decreases, and this will certainly be reflected in the condition of your skin.
Generally, facial skin care after 30 and after 40 is, first of all, a focus on health, internal, and not in tube jars, which can only remove the external manifestations of changes in our body. And by the way, only for a while. And that's not always the case.
Ironically, It is during this period that the prime of life begins for most women. This is a real permanent job, a family (according to statistics, the age of 34-36 is the age of the second and for many the last marriage), and there is catastrophically little time left for oneself.
That's why it's easier cover up your face and neck with all available means, which will help you develop a complete system of a healthy lifestyle – drink water, exercise (at least jogging, or at least do some exercises at home), cook and eat healthy food, etc.
Due to the deterioration of metabolism at this age, many companies, when developing cosmetics for facial skin care after 30 years, make it on a hormonal basis. Therefore, you should be more careful when choosing cosmetics if you have a negative attitude towards it.
As a hormone replacement (dubious, by the way), some experts suggest taking phytoestrogens – hormones of natural origin. It seems that if you are puzzled by this issue, you will find the medications you need. In addition, there are many of them in soybeans, grapes, pomegranate; There are also many phytohormones in hop cones - you can buy them at the pharmacy and brew them as tea or make face masks based on them. However, it is worth saying that The usefulness of phytoestrogens for the body as a whole is also highly disputed.
In general, decide for yourself the hormonal issue - the choice of your facial skin care system after the age of 30 will depend on this.
All processes included in daily facial skin care course, such as cleansing, toning, moisturizing, nutrition - various masks, peelings - all this is still present. However, we will not cover this issue today for several reasons:
- By this age you should already know for sure about all these procedures 🙂
- Everyone knows how to read what is written on jars and select cosmetics according to age (by the way, at this age, and especially after 40, you can safely look on jars with the inscription anti—age).
Instead of discussing obvious things, we’d rather focus on general advice - what you should pay special attention to when creating a complex for facial skin care after 30 years.
