Mistakes to avoid in a beauty routine after 30

After the age of 30, skin begins to change: it renews itself more slowly, loses elasticity and radiance, and the first fine lines may appear. This is the ideal time to adopt a more targeted routine... as long as you avoid certain common mistakes that slow down results or accelerate skin aging.

1. Still using the same products as when you were 20

As your skin changes, your skincare needs to keep pace. A light moisturizer may be enough at age 22, but after age 30, you should consider incorporating anti-aging active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants) to maintain firmness and smooth out the first wrinkles.

2. Neglecting the eye area

A delicate and delicate area, the eye contour is often the first to show signs of aging. Not moisturizing it or applying a conventional face cream can accentuate fine lines. A specific formula, lightweight but rich in smoothing active ingredients, is essential.

3. Forgetting daily sun protection

UV rays are responsible for 80% of skin aging. Even in the city or on cloudy days, it's crucial to apply SPF every morning, summer and winter. It's one of the most powerful ways you can slow the appearance of wrinkles.

4. Multiplying products without consistency

Long routines, overdoses of active ingredients, excessive layering... Too much skincare can suffocate the skin, cause imbalances, and reduce the effectiveness of formulas. After 30, it's better to use fewer products, but more targeted ones.

5. Thinking that results must be immediate

Quality skincare works deep down. It requires consistency and patience. Stopping a product after a week or constantly changing your routine prevents your skin from adapting and progressing.

6. Neglecting the neck and décolleté

The skin on the neck ages as quickly (if not faster) as the skin on the face. Extending your routine to the décolleté helps preserve the harmony and tone of the entire complexion.

7. Doing without targeted assets

Hyaluronic acid to plump, peptides to firm, niacinamide to smooth, retinoids to regenerate… Incorporating these powerful active ingredients into a well-constructed routine makes all the difference. DERMOVA Paris transdermal patches are an ideal solution for localized, precise, and effective action.

Conclusion

After 30, every little bit helps. By avoiding these common mistakes and adopting a consistent routine, your skin will retain its natural radiance, firmness, and vitality for longer.
