Each generation has its strengths, its challenges, its adapted routines, its favorite assets, its targeted products and more, and taking care of your skin and your beauty routine should not be neglected at any period of your life. However, skincare gets real once you reach your 30’s. You’ll drop the “Just a moisturizer” routine and switch to the “Anti-aging section”, for a healthier and better looking skin.
Keep reading to understand the role of your age in the choice of anti-aging skincare products, and to know how to choose the right products.
18 - 25: Priority for protection
Your skin may look dull sometimes, but 80% of the signs are due to environmental factors, such as sun, tobacco, alcohol, junk food, pollution. So you’re in a phase when prevention and protection are important. You’ll do better if you try to stay away from these factors as much as possible. And keep in mind this essential routine: Cleanse. Protect. Moisturize.
Clean your skin from makeup with micellar water before bed, and with thermal water in the morning. The best way to remove your eye makeup is by placing two cotton discs soaked in mild makeup remover on the eyelids, wait a few seconds and slide them delicately outwards and then along the lashes.
Then, your skin needs to be rebalanced and purified, with the right moisturizer.
Do not go out without sunscreen for full protection. A BB Cream is a good option.

30 – 42: Priority is for radiance
You don't know it yet, but it's the best age for your skin. However, it is the time of all challenges: Couple, career, kids…
First, be happy on the inside and adopt a youthful style because this will definitely reflect to your skin.
Second, stress! It’s you enemy. Not only it will disrupt your skin’s balance, it will also accelerate aging. How can you fight it? With a moisturizer, both rich in anti-oxidants and in energizing active ingredients.
Your eyes say a lot, because this area is 4 times thinner than that of the face. However, you can help it stay radiant and fight all the fatigue by using eye cream every day which will result in reducing dark circles and curbing the appearance of fine lines.
And finally, a morning radiant skin is guaranteed with night masks that will help the cells repair themselves.

43 – 55: Stimulate and Repair
It’s when you see more wrinkles and you’ll be facing new beauty challenges definitely.
Over the years, all skin functions slow down. Unless we put them back to work with vitamin C, retinol, resveratrol, marine extracts and other high-tech molecules from green chemistry.
And if you start seeing mid-life acne, dark spots, or dehydration, do not panic because there are products that treat all signs of aging.

60 and more: Comfort and Harmony
Deprived of female hormones, the skin loses its plumpness and its rosy color and becomes thinner, dry, with dilated pores. As in cosmetics, plant alternatives will compensate for the effect of estrogen.
Dermatologist, Philippe Deshayes says “It is better to use highly moisturizing products with handpicked lipids that compensate for the lack of sebum. Non-aggressive treatments which act in depth to stimulate the dermal tissue”.
You skin is now more than never in need of proteins, slow sugars, good fats, omega 3, 6, 9, calcium, vitamins, trace elements, gentle and regular physical activity.
