Just like your late twenties, this is another great time to introduce retinol into your skincare routine.
You might be seeing the first signs of ageing, so it’s an ideal time to form habits that will set you up for life.
Maybe you have memories of scary-looking, thick creams in your mum’s bathroom cabinet - but healthy-ageing skincare doesn’t have to be that way!
Using retinol a few times a week - supported by a daily cleanser, toner, moisturiser, and perhaps an eye cream - can help keep you looking and feeling youthful.
As with any age, you shouldn’t use retinol if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.
It should go without saying that you should be using an SPF of at least 30 every day, all year round. This is always crucial, but it’s particularly important if you’re using retinol as it leaves your skin more susceptible to UV rays.
Only apply retinol at night and use a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin from the sun.
