With every new candle on your birthday cake, your skin is undergoing changes. From your 20s through to your 50s and beyond, you’ll notice shifts in texture, brightness, firmness and pigmentation. Take care early on and your future self will thank you! Here are our skin tips for a lifetime of healthy skin.
Skincare in your 20s
Get into good skincare habits now so your skin ages gracefully later on
The Skin Situation
We’ve got happy skin news for those in their early 20s; collagen is plentiful which means skin is usually looking plump and wrinkle free. In your diet is on point, skin is usually fresh and healthy looking in most cases.
Collagen production decreases little more each year and close to 30 you may begin to notice fine lines. By your mid twenties, skin cell turnover has started to slow down and dead cells build up quickly on the outer layer. Acne may still continue to be a problem.
Challenges
- The acne of your teenage years may still persist in your 20s.
- Slightly duller looking skin in your late 20s due to the slowing down of skin cell turnover.
- Fine lines and wrinkles beginning to appear as you close in on 30.
Solutions
Sunscreen - Get into the habit of including sunscreen in your daily skincare routine all year round...for the rest of your life. Seriously.
Switch to gentle cleansers - Those harsh, bubbly face cleansers you used in your teens for breakouts? Time to ditch them. Cleansers that makes your skin feel ‘tight’ afterwards are stripping your skin of essential oils and will make persisting acne worse.
Switching to a gentle, oil based cleanser might sound a little crazy if you’re dealing with oily, acne prone skin, but hear us out. Face oil actually helps regulate sebum production and gets your breakouts under control.
Choose a natural moisturiser - Start using natural, clean skincare in your 20s means you won’t be layering toxins onto your face every day for the next 60 years. Choose a moisturiser packed with plant nutrients and vitamins.
In your 20s we recommend:
Tangerine Love - A facial cleansing oil that removes the daily dirt and grime. A specially formulated blend of carrier oil using Camellia Oil, Jojoba and French Plum Kernel Oil with Castor oil that is supremely cleansing.
Nephelium Strengthen 2 - Active nutrients Green Tea, Rice Protein, Vitamin B3, work in synergy to strengthen and balance skin. Great for acne control and targeting redness.
Plum Love - 100% pure french plum seed oil. Deeply penetrating and can be used on its own as a moisturiser or it can be layered with other skin product when you require that extra hydration.

Skincare in your 30s
The Skin Situation
Time to turn up the dial on anti ageing solutions
In your 30s, you’ll begin to notice your skin doesn’t bounce back quite the way it used to. Poor sleep and diet habits show up quickly and wrinkles become more prominent. Skin cell turnover and collagen continues to slow down and you may begin to deal with hyperpigmentation.
Skin may be drier than in your 20s. Its a smart time to use ingredients and products designed to rejuvenate and target skin ageing issues.
Challenges
- Hormonal changes and the natural ageing process results in hyperpigmentation; brown patches that often occur on the forehead, cheeks and chin.
- Increased fine lines around the delicate eye area.
- Dehydration can lead to a dull looking complexion.
Solutions
Vitamin C - Boost your glow with vitamin C, this skin saver targets free radicals which prematurely age your skin. It will also brighten skin, lightening the look of hyperpigmentation and tackle fine lines. Serums are a potent way to deliver vitamin C as they have the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin.
Regular exfoliation - Keep those exfoliation sessions regular! With a slower rate of cell turnover, your skin needs a hand sloughing away those dead cells from the surface to reveal a fresher complexion beneath.
In your 30s we recommend:
Nephelium Renew 1 - Skin Radiance Booster - With the texture of a lotion, this active serum contains Vitamin C, White Lily root and Jujube fruit for a younger looking appearance with brighter, smoother complexion.

Skincare in your 40s
Focus on rejuvenation and hydration
The Skin Situation
How you took care of your skin in your 20s shows up in this decade. Skin tends to be much drier, even if you’ve had combination or oily skin in the past. Keeping up your hydration levels, both internally and topically is a must for your 40s. Collagen production and skin turnover continue to decline.
Challenges
- Dryness accentuates the look of lines and wrinkles and heightened skin sensitivity.
- Loss of firmness, especially around the eyes and jaw.
- Broken capillaries may begin to appear.
Solutions
Hydration, hydration, hydration - In addition to your day moisturiser, add a deeply nourishing night cream or oil to boost moisture levels. Make sure you keep up your intake of healthy dietary fats too!
Incorporate regular treatments - If you’re not already, add a weekly masking treatment to your routine, one with a focus on hydration and/or skin firming.

Skincare in your 50s and beyond
Hydrate and switch to the best products for your changing skin type
Skin thins out in this decade and absorbs ingredients more easily which can spark sensitivity. It’s also more easily damaged. Focus on products that help strengthen your skin’s natural barrier, to keep moisture in and nasties like bacteria and pollution out.
Challenges
- Sagging skin below chin or jawline.
- Loss of collagen causes skin under the eye to become crepey.
- Dry skin due to a steady decline in estrogen.
Solutions
Calm inflammation - Inflammation speeds up ageing. Opt for products packed with inflammation-calming antioxidants.
Switch up your moisturiser - The moisturiser you used in your 30s and 40s may no longer be the best choice for your 50s. Choose thick moisturisers and face oils for day and night time - the humectants and emollients will draw and lock moisture to the skin.
Take shorter showers - A long hot shower feels great but hot water is not good news for dry skin. Use lukewarm water to cleanse your face and keep hot showers short!
