anti aging skincare

We all know the one commandment to young skin is get an early start. Start taking care of your skin early. The earlier you start a great skincare routine the more likely you are to maintain healthy and youthful skin into your 30's, 40's and beyond. Creating the habit of a healthy skincare routine helps to reduce the need for later, very costly more evasive procedures. It's truly a win win situation. Most of us start paying close attention to our skincare routine in our 30's. Something about this time creates awareness of our need to pay closer attention to our skin. Maybe its the fine lines that become more noticeable. Maybe its the sunspots that have become darker. Whatever the reason, skincare in your 30's seems to be a truly big deal! We absolutely agree of course, but we also believe skincare at any age is a big deal. The sooner you start, the sooner your skin will show results and the easier it will be to prevent later harder to solve skin problems.

First and foremost, a great skincare routine includes products that hydrate your skin. One of the top reasons we develop fine lines, dark circles and rough skin is lack of hydration. This means making sure your cleanser is not drying out your skin. It also means making sure that you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Moisturizers and serums that have vitamin E in them are an excellent source of hydration. Two of our top favorites for hydrated and ultra healthy skin are Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules 30 Count and Guerlain Success Age Splendid Deep Action Day Care Cream SPF 10. Both these products pack in moisture into your skincare routine. We especially love the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules. The serum is ultra smooth and super absorbent. We like to use it all over!

Our next skincare routine must have for your 30's and beyond is all about vitamin C. In your 30's, vitamin C should be on the top of your skincare list. Not only is this amazing anti aging component great for diminishing fine lines, it also helps with skin tone and smoothness. We are currently in love with the all time favorite vitamin C serum from Beautycounter. The Beautycounter No 1 brightening face Oil is packed with vitamin C. This super absorbent oil leaves your skin feeling amazing and instantly brightened. We like to use it in the morning but you can use both in the morning and at night. Our next tip is to find a great Esthetician. In your 30's and beyond, it is truly necessary to start getting facials at least 4 times a year. It is during these facials that you will truly get a great clean and rid your skin of blackheads and other residue deep within your pores. Your Esthetician will also be able to suggest any specific adjustments you need to make to your skincare routine. Lastly, the one thing that your skincare routine cannot do without is sunscreen. We know this must sound like a broken record. Sunscreen is the number one step your skincare routine cannot do without. Lets face it, if you are not protecting your skin on a daily basis with sunscreen then you may as well ignore everything else. Sun damage is the number one cause of all skin problems. Fine, lines, discoloration, irritation, you name it and it will most likely be associated with sun exposure. Find a great daily sunscreen. use it every day! Even if your daily moisturizer says it has sunscreen within it, still apply a separate sunscreen over it. We love Lancome UV Expert GN Shield SPF 50. This is a high garde, ultra absorbent sunscreen that will truly protect your skin. It will not cause breakouts, will not leave a white film on your skin.

Creating a great skincare routine early on will certainly save your skin later. Always keep in mind, factors such as temperature and age will require you to modify your routine from time to time. However factors such a hydration, sun protection and antioxidant care will always be necessary no mater what.

If I were to name the two things I am obsessed about, the first would be my son and the second would be skincare. I am a self proclaimed skincare junkie. I have countelss serums, oils, creams, toners at all times available. You may think I cannot realistically use them all! The truth is, I do. I interchange between the products I have. There is a use and a time for every single oil, serum, toner and cream.

For those who can relate to my skincare obsession, you understand that skincare is critical. We spend thousands on Botox, Fillers and so many other cosmetic procedures. My thinking is...were we to simply take better care of our skin from the beginning we would not need to spend as much on cosmetic procedures!

My first skincare obsession is skin oil. I love how skin oils feel. I love how they leave my skin glowing and I truly love the difference I have seen in my skin since using skin oil both during the day and at night. My all time favorite skin oil is a cult favorite. Vinter's Daughter is the Holy Grail of skin oils. Anyone that is skincare obsessed knows about this oil. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is as amazing as it is pricey.

If the Vinter's Daughter Oil is a bit too pricey, you want to try a great alternative. I have been using the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules on alternating days. These capsules are full of the smoothest and silkiest oil ever. leaves your skin so soft, glowing and super moisturized. I even like to use them on my cuticles! The price is very reasonable, therefore you won't need to break the bank with each purchase. The ceramide formula is a super anti aging mix that truly enhances your skins overall feel and glow.

I am also obsessed with serums. For those wondering, yes there is a difference between a face oil and a face serum. Serums are packed with antioxidants. They are more lightweight. They are applied after your skin oil and also help increase radiance. Serums are a big help with regards to anti aging. They help to diminish fine lines, sun spots and truly help to keep your skin looking youthful. I recently discovered a great eye serum that is packed with vitamin C. Prevage Anti Aging Eye Serum. This little tube helps to almost instantly erase dark circles around the eyes. It also helps to promote brighter eyes.

• La Prairie Anti Aging Stress Cream 1.7 oz. → Shop Now

My go to day and night time cream as of lately has been La Prairie Anti Stress Cream. The feel of this cream is amazing. Your skin immediately feels so soft and so happy. Yes, my skin actually feels happy. It is a great anti aging, anti fatigue cream that moms like myself truly love. It is a great pick me up for those Mondays especially after an entire weekend of running around with my son.

I also love to use Sunday Riley Good Genes. I use this cream mostly at night. The AHA formula helps to create a refreshed look in the morning and promotes cell regeneration. It is super lightweight and truly leaves your skin looking younger.

These are just some of my all time favorite and can't be without skincare products. There are so many more! As I stated earlier I truly believe in skincare. I think if you take good care of your skin there is less reason to go towards more evassive procedures later. Spend a little more now and save a lot later in life girls!
