Skincare in Your 20s

Ah, youth! Sure, there may be some congestion and hormonal flare ups along the way, but generally, our twenties are a blissful period of skin bounce-backs and overnight recoveries. Sadly, as George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is wasted on the young.” If you’re in your twenties now, listen up! Your future self will adore you for it. (If you’re a decade or two, or four, beyond this youthful state, there’s hope—just keep reading.)

How well (or poorly) you treat your body in your 20s will show up later in life. Use this decade to discover your skin profile and its unique challenges. Get a head start on preservation and maintenance by investing in a thorough skincare regimen that includes a cleanser, intense hydration, retinol, and SPF (we repeat: SPF). Build a habit of booking monthly facials; Our favorite for the 20-something: The Hydra Dew facial. Whether you are dealing with an angry breakout or you’re recovering from a night that went far past the waking hours, this facial will help decongest clogged pores, revitalize your glow, and smooth out any indications of fatigue.

Learn about ingredients, consult with an expert, invest in the right products, and use sunscreen liberally (No, this is not a broken record.) The best advice that no one in their 20s wants to hear?

All this means is it’s time to invest more love into your skin.
High-quality products that impact your skin on a cellular level are a must in your thirties. Use serums and moisturizers with proven ingredients—look for hyaluronic acid to nourish the skin and retinol to keep it smooth and free of creases; These are your not-so-secret-but-power-packed weapons for age-defying skin.
