Preventing Wrinkles in Your 30’s

Aging is inevitable. The tell-tale sign of aging is wrinkles, and we’re all doing our best to postpone just that. Wrinkles develop from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While our genetics are out of our hands, environmental factors can be dealt with to reduce the chance and severity of wrinkles.

What you do in your daily life matters, as does your skincare routine. If you want to limit the chances of getting wrinkles in your 30’s — there are a few things you should do.

Avoid too much sun exposure

Unless you have been living under a rock (in which case, maybe this doesn’t apply), sun exposure is one of the main culprits of wrinkles. Exposure to ultraviolet rays are a leading contributor to aging skin.

Too much sun exposure can cause:

• Red spots
• Brown spots
• Dull skin

Many products out there have great UV protection formulas built in, with ranging SPF’s working alongside skincare products you’re likely already using.

Our favorites come from Colorescience®. They have a range of products all packed with SPF protection to give your the protection and care it deserves.

Use quality skin creams

It can be a headache to pick through the countless skin creams out there. But picking the right cream for you will reduce your chance of wrinkles during your 30’s. Get recommendations for your dermatologist to make sure you’re not choosing products that can do more harm than good.

Products that have prescription strength retinoid ingredients can be highly effective when fending off wrinkles, but depending on your skin type — they can cause redness and irritation. That’s why it’s especially important to get a second opinion from your dermatologist.
