Hey, 20-somethings! Here’s the scoop from me to you—what I wish I knew about skincare when I was in my 20s now that I’m 30-something. Think of me as your big sis, here to share skincare wisdom and help you embrace a natural, organic routine that'll keep you glowing and looking youthful throughout your 20s and well into your 30s and beyond!
In this era of social media and endless new products, it's easy to get swept up in the latest fads, many of which are loaded with harsh chemicals and toxic ingredients everyone seems to be raving about. But overdoing it with the wrong stuff isn’t the way to go. And ignoring skincare altogether because you’re young? Definitely not the vibe either!
So, let’s dive into everything I wish I had known back in the day and how you can set up a simple skincare routine now that’ll have you obsessed with your skin today and for years to come.
- Prevention Is Key
Prevention isn’t about jumping straight to Botox or using a 10-step routine packed with harsh chemicals. It’s about incorporating the right products to support your skin now and help slow aging in the future. Protecting your skin barrier with high-quality moisturizers can make a huge difference. As you age, natural oils decrease, skin thins, and collagen and elastin are lost. Start with our Face & Eye Crème to keep your skin barrier healthy and glowing.
- Consistency Over Perfection
You don’t need a daily to-do list to get glowing skin. Just find a few basics that work for you and stick with them. Consistency is key! A great habit to get into is never going to bed with makeup on. Spend just 3-5 minutes giving your face a deep cleanse before hitting the sheets.
Our Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover is perfect for removing makeup, dirt, and bacteria while nurturing your skin. No excuses—wash off that makeup, girl! If necessary, double cleanse with our Foaming Facial Wash!
- Sunscreen Is a Must
If I could give myself one piece of advice, it’d be to take sunscreen seriously! With so many amazing options out there, protecting your skin from the elements has never been easier. Our Protect stick is formulated with 20% uncoated non-nano zinc oxide for top-notch protection against UVA/UVB rays, blue light, and pollution. Plus, it’s packed with organic raspberry seed oil, carrot seed oil, shea butter, olive oil, and beeswax to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
- Love Your Skin from Head to Toe
2024 has been all about body care, so let’s embrace it and give your entire body some well-deserved TLC. Spend a few minutes daily nourishing your skin with high-quality botanicals to replenish moisture and keep it silky soft. Grab The Lotion to maintain your glow year-round, extending that love to your arms, legs, and everywhere else. Committing to a consistent body care routine will make you glow from head to toe, feeling as good as you look! As you age, this body care routine will make you feel gorgeous and hydrated if you start in your 20s!
- Avoid Trends and Understand Your Products
In your 20s, getting swept up by the latest trends is easy. Instead, focus on understanding the products and ingredients you’re using. This will help you avoid fads that don’t benefit the health of your skin in the long run. Want to learn how to read ingredient lists and navigate the skincare world?
