At the age of 30, skin begins to show the first signs of ageing, a natural phenomenon that can nevertheless be reduced with the right skincare routine. In this article, we will explore the essential basics of skin care at this age, with simple, effective advice for maintaining healthy, radiant, well-moisturised skin.
At the age of 30, our skin goes through a transitional phase marked by physiological changes. The whole body, including the skin, begins to regenerate at a slower rate. This drop in cell regeneration results in a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential to the skin's firmness and elasticity. The result? Skin that gradually loses its bounce and tone. The first wrinkles, often superficial and known as expression lines (such as frown lines and crow's feet), appear. These wrinkles are mainly due to the repeated contraction of facial muscles. of the skin at 30: First signs of ageing
Skin ageing generally begins around the age of 25-30, although it is often only noticeable from the age of 30 onwards. This process, known as senescence, is characterised by slower cell renewal, moving from a 28-day cycle to more than 30 days. Dead cells accumulate on the surface, and the sebaceous glands become less efficient, contributing to a dull complexion and increased dehydration. In addition, the number of melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigmentation, decreases, making the skin more prone to pigmentation spots and other irregularities.
In addition to this natural phenomenon, other factors accelerate the ageing process. Firstly, there are internal factors including genes and stress, as well as external factors including sun exposure, smoking, pollution and inadequate hydration. These elements can cause premature ageing of the skin, even in young adults.
Although skin ageing is a natural phenomenon, it is possible to slow it down or reduce it by following a suitable daily skincare routine.
At the age of 30, it is essential to adopt a skincare routine to preserve the youth and vitality of your skin. An effective anti-ageing routine doesn't just involve applying the right products, but also daily routines such as cleansing, moisturising and massaging.
Cleansing your face every day helps to remove dead skin cells and impurities that can clog pores and cause blemishes. By cleansing the skin, you will also reduce the signs of ageing, by stimulating blood circulation and cell regeneration.

At the age of 30, hydration becomes a fundamental pillar of a skincare routine. In fact, dehydrated skin increases the appearance of wrinkles because it has fewer of the vitamins and fatty acids that contribute to plump, regenerated skin. So, after cleansing your face, complete your morning routine with a moisturising cream that has anti-ageing properties.
To improve your skin's hydration and combat the signs of ageing, use the following ingredients in your moisturiser:

At the age of 30, it's essential to include a specific treatment for the eye area in your skincare routine. This area, which is thinner and more fragile than the rest of the face, is particularly sensitive to signs of ageing such as wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. Crow's feet’ wrinkles often appear in this area as a result of moisture loss and the repetition of expressive movements such as smiling. So it's important to use an eye contour treatment to prevent these signs from becoming more pronounced.
For effective skin care, choose products containing the following ingredients:

As a complement to your facial routine, get into the habit of applying a hand cream and lip balm, two areas that are particularly fragile and exposed to aggression. By moisturising these areas daily, you can prevent the signs of ageing and keep your skin supple and smooth.
By the age of 30, an effective anti-ageing routine involves more than just applying the right skincare products every day; it also includes incorporating facial massage. Massaging your face regularly improves blood circulation, which helps to oxygenate skin cells and make your skin more supple. It can also reduce muscle tension and help relax facial features, minimising expression lines.
Here are a few simple exercises to do every day. For a more pleasant experience, you can use an oil or cream to smooth the movements.
Place both thumbs on either side of the chin and lightly pinch the skin. Gently move upwards, sliding your thumbs along the curve of the jaw as far as the ears. This movement helps to sculpt the lower face and stimulate circulation in the chin and jaw area.
Place the phalanges of the four fingers of each hand on your face. Slide them from your nose to your temples, then from the outer corner of your eyes to your hairline. This gesture helps to drain accumulated fluids and reduce puffiness, while promoting a lifting effect.
Use your fingertips to make slow movements from the centre of the eyes towards the hairline. Repeat over the entire forehead. This massage helps relax the forehead muscles and reduce the appearance of horizontal wrinkles.
For best results, you can use a gua sha stone.
Adopting these habits from the age of 30 will not only help to slow down the skin ageing process, but also keep your skin looking fresh and radiant for longer. By combining an appropriate skincare routine with a few simple gestures, you're doing everything you can to keep your skin looking young and healthy, year after year.
