Changes depending on age! Basic knowledge of aging care

When you hear the term “aging care,” you may have the impression that it is something that only begins when you get older. However, from your late 20s, which is said to be the turning point for your skin, internal changes in your skin have already begun. In order to maintain youthful and healthy skin forever, it is most important to take in appropriate care at the right time, according to your current age and skin condition.

Incorrect care or skin care that is too heavy for your age can actually cause skin problems. Let’s take a look at the best anti-aging care steps you can take now for your future self, by age group.

[20s to 30s] Preventive care and thorough moisturizing

From your late 20s to your 30s, the amount of moisture and sebum in your skin begins to gradually decrease. The main focus of anti-aging care during this period is prevention. The most important things are “ultraviolet ray protection” and “thorough moisturizing.” Ultraviolet rays are said to account for approximately 80% of skin aging (photoaging). Applying sunscreen regardless of the season and not neglecting UV protection is the best anti-aging method.

For skin care, incorporate highly moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid that enhance the skin’s barrier function. Also, if you start to notice fine lines around your eyes and mouth due to dryness, we recommend using eye cream or other area care as soon as possible.

[40s to 50s] Aggressive care and response to hormone balance

When you reach your 40s, signs of aging such as age spots, wrinkles, and sagging become more apparent due to a decrease in female hormones and delayed turnover. From this age onwards, “aggressive care” is required in addition to moisturizing.

Be sure to use serums that contain active ingredients such as retinol, which supports the production of collagen and elastin, and vitamin C derivatives and niacinamide, which treat age spots and dullness. In addition, weakening of the facial muscles that support skin firmness can also cause sagging, so gentle massage during skin care and lift-up care from the scalp (scalp massage) are also effective.

In addition to skin care, inner care from the inside of the body, such as good sleep and a diet that is conscious of protein and vitamins, is an important foundation for maintaining beautiful skin. Don’t be afraid of changes as you age, and continue to enjoy the care that best suits you at the time.
