✨ WHEN SHOULD YOU START TAKING CARE OF YOUR SKIN? ✨
One thing I wish I had understood years ago is this:
Skincare is easier when you start BEFORE you’re trying to correct years of changes.
I waited longer than I wish I had to really become serious about my own skin. Now, I’m having to use more advanced treatments to work toward the results I want.
So I want my clients—especially younger clients—to understand something I wish someone had explained to me earlier.
🧴 TEENS
This is a great time to learn the basics:
• Gentle cleanser
• Moisturizer
• SPF 30+ every day
• Acne treatment when needed
You don’t need a complicated routine. You need GOOD HABITS.
☀️ YOUR 20s
This is when prevention becomes important.
Keep your basic routine and become serious about DAILY sunscreen. Depending on your skin and needs, this can also be a good time to discuss adding antioxidants and a retinoid/retinol.
Retinoids aren’t something everyone has to start at one exact age. They should be chosen according to your skin, concerns and tolerance.
✨ YOUR 30s
Don’t wait for significant lines, pigmentation and texture changes before paying attention.
Your routine may include:
• Cleanser
• Antioxidant serum
• Moisturizer
• Retinoid/retinol when appropriate
• DAILY SPF
• Professional facials and treatments based on your skin
💆♀️ YOUR 40s & 50s
If you’ve been consistent for years—wonderful. KEEP GOING.
If you’re just beginning, it’s NOT pointless to start now.
But correcting established sun damage, discoloration, deeper wrinkles, loss of firmness and texture changes can sometimes require more than home skincare.
Depending on the concern, a qualified provider may discuss treatments such as professional resurfacing, chemical peels, lasers or other advanced procedures.
And for significant skin laxity, skincare and resurfacing have limits. Some people eventually choose to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon about surgical options such as a facelift.
❤️ THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE IN STARTING EARLY.
You don’t need aggressive treatments when you’re young just because you’re afraid of aging.
You need consistent skincare, sun protection and healthy habits.
And here’s another tip:
👩👧 LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY.
Look at your parents and grandparents. Ask them:
“What did you use on your skin?”
“Did you wear sunscreen?”
“When did you start noticing wrinkles, pigmentation or sagging?”
Genetics aren’t your destiny, but your family can give you clues about how your skin may age.
I wish I had taken some of these things more seriously earlier in my own life. That’s one reason I’m passionate about educating my clients now.
PREVENTION → MAINTENANCE → CORRECTION
The longer we wait, the more correction we may need.
You don’t need a 10-step routine.
You need the RIGHT routine for YOUR skin—and consistency.
