Retinol is the perfect skincare ingredient to start introducing in your 30’s.
I first heard about the amazing benefits of Retinol from Hot and Flashy, an over 50 Youtuber, who shares her favorite skincare secrets, and favorite products.
She has great skin, and one of the main products she’s been using for years is Retinol.
Retinol promotes rapid cell turnover..
Retinol helps prevent wrinkles, smoothes current lines, while minimizing the appearance of any new ones from forming.
Retinol brightens the skin by exfoliating it on a cellular level. It sheds the old skin and lets brighter, smoother skin show through.
Retinol works on acne as well, it keeps pores from clogging. It also fades dark spots, such as sun spots, acne scars.
As we age, specially when we hit our 30’s our body’s cell turnover slows down. Using Retinol is the best way to speed up the cell turnover and get rid of dull dead skin faster overtime.
Overtime with the use of Retinol, you’ll notice a reduction in lines, darks spots and skin will little by little improve in appearance.
Decreases fine lines, evens skin color, improves texture, tightens pores, and stimulates blood flow and collagen production.
Retinol is strong, so start slow and early…
Introducing your skin to Retinol little by little over time is the best way to achieve results. There are different strengths in Retinols, and using the right strength based on age and levels of aging is the best way to not over dry and irritate your skin.
Start introducing Retinol little by little, with a pea size amount 1x per week and increasing it overtime. Using SPF is important since Retinol can make skin super sensitivity to the sun.
I’ve used the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Cream Serum, which contains only a small amount of Retinol, but does a great job of helping exfoliate my skin without over dryness or irritation.
In your 30s, you can start by using an over-the-counter retinol like the RoC serum three or four nights a week.
