Anti aging routine by age – The best anti-aging treatments for you will depend on your age. As we mature, our skin changes, and as such so should our routine. Here's a guide to what to include in your anti-aging routine by age.
Every age group is different; they have different needs and struggles, and they're all susceptible to different types of damage. Whether it's hyperpigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles, there are certain products that will help each specific problem the most.
To make things easier for you, we've broken down an anti-aging routine by age group; from the 20s through 40s up to 60+, these lists include everything you need to keep your skin looking young and fresh!
When you're in your twenties, you have a few more worries than when you hit 30. For instance, early anti-aging signs are very prominent in the 20s because of the changes that are occurring within the body.
Typically, at this age, it's important to be focusing on things like reducing hyperpigmentation marks and acne scars with lightening agents while also preventing further damage with antioxidants.
It's just as indispensable to keep moisture locked into your skin because young skin is still producing collagen and elastin at an incredible rate, which means there is no need for intense moisturizing or wrinkle repair yet!
Vitamin C is one of the most beneficial ingredients, an antioxidant, you can add to your skincare routine when in your 20s. By adding this, you'll be helping to decrease hyperpigmentation and acne scars.
Vitamin C serums typically come in a range of percentages, and it can be hard to find the best percentage for your skin without knowing which formula will work best; we recommend starting out with an oil-soluble vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that comes in a low concentration.
2+ Topicals® Nutritional Lotion is a rich lotion that nourishes the skin from the outside in. The ingredients in 2+ Topicals Nutritional Lotion are the key to its effective actions. They deliver vitamin A, Vitamin B12, vitamin E, vitamin D, Vitamin K2, and vitamin C to the skin directly.
Exfoliation is a must in the 20s! This is because your skin still produces collagen and elastin, which means there is no need for profound moisturizing or wrinkle repair yet. By exfoliating away dead cells from the surface layers of your skin, you're revealing brighter and more glowing skin underneath and prepping it to receive hydration and active ingredients.
AETHEION® ZCM15 Facial Serum is an antioxidant cleanser that combines ZCM15 Redox Technology in an advanced formulation of Zn/Cu SOD combined with silver and the ancient power of the calendula plant. The Calendula plant has been used for centuries to protect skin from harsh conditions. Use as a first application to cleanse, reduce free radicals, and re-energize the skin’s younger, smoother look.
When you first cleanse, your pores are open, and they'll absorb whatever you put on them, so it's important to use a hydrating toner as this will help to lock moisture into the skin. It'll also tighten and restore any lost elasticity caused by previous damage, and leave your face feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!
A crucial addition to any skincare routine in the 20s and beyond; we recommend using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 that is water-resistant for daily use.
This is a great way to add anti-aging benefits to your routine without the harshness.
By this point in time, you've probably noticed that your eye area has started to become drier and more sensitive; likely you're also noticing fine lines in the corner of your eyes and around the lip and eye areas. This doesn't mean that your 30s are the end, it just means you need to step up your game.
At this age, you should be including anti-aging ingredients like Retinol into your routine every day (if not twice daily depending on skin type).
If you can find a gentle retinol treatment, even better, but because the skin is already showing minor signs of aging at this point, we recommend using an active ingredient no matter what.
Also, important during the early stages of anti-aging for those over 30 is sun protection; don't forget to include an SPF (preferably one with zinc) even if it's only for the morning!
It's not unusual for people in their thirties (and 40s!) to be dealing with wrinkles forming on their face, so adding wrinkle repair ingredients, firming agents, skin brightening acids, skin tightening peptides are all necessary at this age group aging is inevitable.
It is important to remember that there are plenty of ingredients out there that you can add to your routine to combat the effects thus far and prevent future damage!
Other than that, everything else is the same as in your 20s; you still need that vitamin C serum (although concentrations can be higher depending on skin type), exfoliating cleanser, and hydrating toner.

A powerful way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area, we recommend an eye cream with peptides for firming and wrinkle repair, ceramides for moisture plumping, and antioxidants for anti-aging.

If at all possible, you want to be including a retinoid into your routine at this point. Additionally, if you're currently using retinol and want to add another anti-aging product, we recommend adding an antioxidant serum.

Peptides help to stimulate collagen production which is important for volume and firmness.
As mentioned above, adding anti-aging ingredients like retinol is essential in your 40s (and beyond). Again, be sure to find one that's gentle enough if you're currently using a retinoid as they can cause redness if too potent. Regardless of whether or not you're currently using a retinoid, it's safe to include one into your routine at this point!
