They say that life begins at 30. But that doesn't mean you only start actually living and caring for yourself then. The years leading to that milestone should be spent making the foundation of yourself that you will improve as the years go by.
So, here are some beauty habits you can start now and continue on your 30s.
Get rid of your vices
Drop smoking, excess sugar, or whatever vice you’re into before you turn 30. Carrying them on will only make it more difficult to quit. Instead, pick the good habits that will become a good foundation as time goes by.
Wear sunscreen
In your 30s, the effects of over sun exposure in the past will start to show itself, from fine lines, discoloration, and dark spots. So, after reading this bit, make sure to slather on your favorite sunscreen or invest in a good one (like Keep Safe Tinted Sunscreen). This is mostly neglected when it is actually the best anti-aging product anyone could ever have.
Exfoliate
Cell turnover starts to slow down when you become 30, which leads to dull, dry, and flaky patches. That’s why it’s best that you start to exfoliate (with Pearl Luminescence) now to reveal new skin cells and keep your glow. Moreover, make sure that you continue this habit past 30 but only every twice a week since your skin would require a gentler care.
Stop touching your face
Not picking on your blemishes is one of the hardest thing you have to do. However, this bad habit can actually cause scarring and discoloration. Instead of touching your face to check on your zits every now again, perfect your concealing game to hide those pesky little things.
Skincare isn’t all about the face
The last thing you want is to having aging skin on your neck, décolletage, and hands and a youthful face. Make sure that you take care of all visible - and often hidden - parts of your skin to experience a seamless and graceful aging process.
Always get enough sleep
I’d say the best time to apply your skincare products is during bedtime, when your complexion is not threatened by the likes of sun exposure effects. This is the perfect time to slather on moisturizer and treat your lips, cuticles, heels and other problem areas to some beneficial and amazing skincare because during this time, your skin is uninterrupted to heal itself.
Don’t panic at the sight of gray hairs
Gray hairs are a natural part of growing old, so don’t fret when you start to see them grow. And there are so many ways you can cover them like hair dyes! Or you can choose to go gray all the way. Whatever you do, just remember to amp up your hair care to ensure they are kept soft and shiny, while your scalp is well moisturized.
Try wearing red lipstick
It’s no secret how the perfect red lippie can transform your look from boring to fierce, as it also looks good in any occasion. So, make sure to find your shade today (probs, one of our Velvet Matte Lipsticks) and make your life so much easier in the future.
Treat yourself to a spa day
Having a positive feeling towards yourself has a rather big effect on how you look. And treating yourself to a relaxing spa or massage every now and again to relax and unwind is not something you should be guilty about. Remember, feeling good about yourself is so much better than just looking good.
Stretch every day
Yoga is not popular for no reason. Not only is it good for your body, it also helps in calming the mind. Really give it a try before turning 30 because bad posture is not something you should worry about by that time.
Eat a nourishing diet
It’s definitely true that you are what you eat. And whatever is going on inside your body, have an effect in the health of your skin. So, incorporate fruits and green veggies on your diet - not only for a clear, glowing complexion but also for a better overall wellness.
Dress for yourself
By 30, you should've already known what clothes suit you best and what don't work. And no. Not to look good for other people but to make yourself feel good about yourself, as this is also one of the best ways to discover who you are.
Take a vacation
Plan a vacation with just yourself, for yourself. This is one way to build an unbreakable bond with your soul as you journey to life and enjoying everything while you grow old.
