In this informative video, Dr. Rasya Dixit, a seasoned dermatologist with 18 years of experience, discusses essential skincare tips for those entering their 30s. She emphasizes the significance of adapting your skincare routine as oil production decreases and signs of aging begin to emerge.

Dr. Dixit begins by highlighting the need to revamp your essential skincare products: cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. In your 20s, you might rely on foaming cleansers or those containing salicylic acid, particularly if your skin was oily. However, as you transition into your 30s, it’s recommended to switch to a gentle, soap-free cleanser to prevent over-drying.

Moisturizers also require adjustment. While gel or lotion-based moisturizers were effective in your 20s, Dr. Dixit suggests moving to cream-based formulas in your 30s to provide deeper hydration and prevent moisture loss through the skin.

The importance of sunscreen is emphasized, with Dr. Dixit advising the use of SPF 50 or higher, regardless of indoor or outdoor settings. She points out that skin aging is triggered not only by UV light from the sun but also by visible light exposure indoors, which can lead to pigmentation and other age-related changes.

Next, Dr. Dixit delves into anti-aging treatments that should be incorporated into your routine. She recommends starting with a vitamin C serum for daytime use, and a vitamin A or retinol serum for nighttime. Both are powerful antioxidants that assist in repairing daily skin damage.

In addition, Dr. Dixit suggests incorporating a hyaluronic acid-based moisturizer or serum in the evening routine for added hydration. For those with drier skin, she encourages weekly exfoliation using glycolic acid or opting for monthly chemical peels to remove dead skin cells, which can build up as cell turnover slows in this age group.

Lastly, Dr. Dixit underscores that all these skincare adjustments should be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle which includes proper sleep and regular exercise. This holistic approach will help ensure that your skin reflects the vitality of your 30s.
