Skin Care and Aging: Men and women alike want healthy, glowing, and beautiful skin. As we age, people become more conscious about their skincare. Sometimes, you follow a self-care routine, but when problems begin to arise, it's best to consult a skin specialist. Doctors recommend the right products, moisturizers, creams, and treatments for your age, which you can incorporate into your routine as you age. Let's understand what type of moisturizer, hand soap, or cream should be used at what age.

How to care for your skin as you age?

20s
People in their 20s have the highest incidence of skin conditions, including sun damage. Doctors recommend that people in this age group use an SPF cream when going out. Doctors emphasize the importance of daily sunscreen use, even if you don't have acne or other skin problems. However, people in this age group should use a separate, broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

Age 30
Skin specialists consider this age to be the transition period. Patients in this age group typically experience noticeable fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles. A good eye cream should be used to address these issues. Antioxidants can also help reduce sun damage to some extent. Doctors also treat many people in their 30s with laser therapy, such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or photofacials.

Age 40
Skin begins to sag, and wrinkles become more prominent. Therefore, you should use two different cleansers—a gentle exfoliating cleanser and a light lotion-like cleanser—to meet both your skin's cell turnover and hydration needs. Additionally, a good night cream containing glycerin, ceramides, and fatty lipids should be used.

Age 50
According to doctors, hormonal changes occur at this age, which can affect the skin. Dryness on the face increases with age. Hormonal fluctuations at this age can often lead to the reappearance of acne, which you haven't seen since adolescence. Doctors recommend using mild, milky cleansers instead of exfoliating cleansers. Body contouring with lasers and other machines can also help tighten the skin.

Age 60
Dermatologists say that it's never too late to start anti-aging treatments for patients in their 60s, as a major concern for patients 60 and older is a lack of hydration and moisture retention. At this age, it's recommended to keep skin care simple, hydrating, and gentle. Laser technology can also be used up to twice a year. It helps reduce wrinkles and blemishes, even out skin tone, tighten skin, and remove both gentle and harmful lesions.
