Less wrinkles - more radiance: but please do it right!
From the age of 30, a new skin chapter begins for many women: the first fine lines, dry patches and a slightly duller complexion. No need to panic - but high time to take a more conscious approach to skincare. Unfortunately, it is precisely at this stage of life that typical Anti-ageing mistakes that do more harm than good. We show you the five most common ones - and how you can easily avoid them.
1. ❌ Error: Only set to wrinkle care
When it comes to anti-ageing, many people immediately think of wrinkle creams. But skin ageing begins not only with wrinklesbut also with:
- Moisture loss
- Reduction in elasticity
- Pigment spots
- Matt complexion
Better: Focus on holistic skincare - with antioxidants, UV protection, barrier protection and gentle exfoliation. The focus should not be on "removing wrinkles", but on Maintain skin health lie.
2. ❌ Mistake: UV protection is underestimated
The biggest skin ageing factor is not time - but the Sun. Even on cloudy days or in the office, UVA rays penetrate through windows and cause:
- Collagen degradation
- Pigment disorders
- Premature wrinkling
Better: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30) every day - all year round. This is the best anti-ageing precaution of all.
3. ❌ Mistake: Too aggressive care
If you exfoliate too much, use highly degreasing products or frequently switch between active ingredients, you weaken the skin barrier. The result:
- Dryness
- Redness
- Faster skin ageing due to stress
Better: Bet on Gentle but effective active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and natural oils - customised to your skin type.
4. ❌ Error: No targeted active ingredient care
"Anti-ageing" is more than just a marketing phrase. Effective active ingredients can demonstrably improve the skin's structure - but many people do not use them regularly or at all.
You should know these active ingredients:
- Retinol (vitamin A): stimulates cell regeneration
- Vitamin C: protects against free radicals & promotes collagen
- Peptides: stimulate the cell metabolism
- Bakuchiol: Plant-based retinol alternative for sensitive skin
Better: Integrate 1-2 active ingredients into your evening routine - consistently, not excessively.
5. ❌ Error: Internal factors are ignored
Good sleep, a healthy diet and stress management have a huge impact on the skin. Those who rely too heavily on creams and neglect the rest will not achieve the best results.
Better:
- Integrate omega-3, antioxidants, protein & micronutrients daily
- At least 7 hours sleep
- Regular exercise & breaks for skin regeneration
Conclusion: The best anti-ageing results come from knowledge - not hype
Anti-ageing mistakes happen to many women over 30 - but they are easily avoidable. Those who understand their skin, know their needs and combine skincare with lifestyle will be rewarded with healthy, radiant skin. It's not about "rejuvenation", but about the Being beautiful in the now.
