Graceful Aging, Decade by Decade

As we age and mature, our skincare needs change. Find the proper life stage for both you and your family members below, and make sure you're following the guidelines for the healthiest skin possible. 
 

KIDS 12 AND UNDER
Goal: Create a healthy routine around body awareness.
Needs: 

• Face moisturizer
• Body lotion

TEENS

Goal: Establish a solid skincare routine in the AM and PM. Additional help may be needed for acne or other skin issues.
Needs: This varies greatly, depending on the teen. In general, they need to be using...

• Cleanser
• Moisturizer
• Exfoliant to reduce acne/clogged pores oct (every 7-10 days) 
• Acne treatment (if needed)

Consider trying our Activated Charcoal Face Wash.

20s
Goal: Keeping skin hydrated and protected from damage
Needs:

• Cleanser
• Moisturizer
• Exfoliant (every 7-10 days)
• Sunscreen, SPF 30+
• Hyaluronic Acid (around this time, we begin to lose up to 1% HA from the skin per year)

Consider trying our HA Radiance Serum

30s
Goal: Most women begin to see fine lines appear in this decade. Wrinkles and fine lines are a part of life, and we find aging beautiful. But we also believe in protecting the skin and aging gracefully. In your 30s, you may want to start using retinol (Vitamin A) to help supplement the rebuilding of collagen and elastin.   
Needs:

• Cleanser
• Moisturizer
• Exfoliant (every 7-10 days)
• Sunscreen, SPF 30+
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Retinol 

Consider trying our Retinol + Hyaluronic Glow Serum

40s
Goal: Perimenopause and Premenopause begin to change our skin, usually arriving in this decade. We begin to see the emergence of dark spots, increased dryness, etc.  
Needs:

• Cleanser
• Heavier moisturizer
• Exfoliant (every 7-10 days)
• Sunscreen, SPF 30+
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Retinol 

Consider trying our Argan Oil

50s
Goal: During this decade, women often choose to revamp their skin routines, as what worked in the past is no longer as effective. 
Needs:

• Cleanser
• Moisturizer that can achieve deep hydration
• Exfoliant, very gentle due to dryness
• Sunscreen, SPF 30+
• Retinol 
• Vitamin C for discoloration

60s+
Goal: This is the golden age, often when we care less about small things and begin focusing on the more important things of life.
Needs: 

• Moisturizer that can achieve deep hydration
• Sunscreen, SPF 30+
• Any additional steps above that you enjoy

At every stage of life, the condition of our skin is impacted by these three things: hydration, nutrition, and exercise. Aging gracefully is always about the whole body, and overall health always contributes to skin health. It doesn't have to be complicated either! As you can see above, each decade has only a short list of needs. Keeping things simple and consistent will ensure your skin is looking its best through the years.
