Most people worry about their age showing in their face and skin. It’s a common concern for both women and men at any age. Finding the best facials for aging skin at each stage of your life can help you maintain youthful, healthy skin.
But with all the facial treatments and cosmetic procedures available, you may wonder which ones are best suited for you now.
There are good reasons to get almost any treatment at any age, but most are more beneficial for general anti-aging at specific points in your life.
So, if you want to regain your skin’s youthful appearance or protect it many years into the future, here’s a basic guideline for the best facials for aging skin.
Best Facials for Your 20s
When you’re in your 20s, getting older probably isn’t at the top of your list of priorities. However, your skincare routine today can massively affect your skin tomorrow.
In addition to keeping your skin clean, moisturized, and protected from the sun, facial treatments in your 20s can help you retain those high levels of collagen that start to dip in your mid- to late-20s.
The best facial treatments for newly aging skin include boosters and exfoliation to help replenish moisture and promote cellular turnover, creating more collagen.
These treatments include HydraFacial with appropriate boosters, medium-depth chemical peels, and microchanneling.
Some people in their 20s (and older!) still deal with acne from ongoing breakouts, scarring, or uneven skin tones. These treatments can also help heal and improve acne issues.
The IPL Photofacial is another excellent treatment to heal skin and even skin tone from acne, rosacea, and other pigmentation problems.
Other popular cosmetic procedures for young adults are lip fillers and laser hair removal. These aren’t necessary for skincare or anti-aging, but lip fillers can boost confidence by giving you the fuller lips you’ve wanted. Laser hair removal saves time and money and is easier on both your skin and the environment when compared to shaving.
Best Facials for Your 30s
While you may not see significant signs of aging in your early 30s, your collagen and other skin-boosting elements have already been decreasing by about 1% each year. It may not be noticeable for a while, but without preventative treatments and a healthy skincare routine, those wrinkles will show up before you know it.
The best facial treatments for aging skin include the ones we mentioned for when you’re in your 20s. But as you move through your 30s, you might need to add stronger services to your routine.
The Skinceuticals chemical peel is still a great option, but if it’s not doing the trick, you should try the Perfect Derma Peel. This medium-depth chemical peel includes a powerful anti-aging antioxidant that promotes younger-looking skin.
In addition to chemical peels and facials, your 30s is the perfect time to begin stronger but equally safe facial treatments.
Fibroblast uses a wand to deliver small charges of plasma energy that, through the healing process, tightens your skin and smoothes wrinkles.
Sublime Skin Tightening is also an effective non-invasive treatment that uses infrared light and radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm aging skin.
Another primary concern for many people, especially in their mid to late 30s, is difficulty maintaining muscle tone and keeping weight off. It can be even more difficult for women who’ve had children. Although not a facial treatment, Body Sculpting can help you look and feel younger and more confident in yourself.
Best Facials for Your 40s
If you’ve been taking care of your skin and making regular MedSpa visits, your skin probably still looks fantastic in your 40s!
But if you’re starting to see deeper lines and wrinkles or just starting your skin rejuvenation journey, you might need more powerful remedies, such as laser resurfacing and skin tightening.
Your 40s is also a great time to consider Dermal Fillers if you haven’t already tried them. Gravity starts to work harder on your facial features as your skin becomes thinner. Dermal fillers can plump the areas of your face that begin to sag or lose shape to give you a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Filler is also an excellent option after significant weight loss. With thinner skin and less collagen production, losing weight can make older adults’ faces appear saggy or older than they actually are. Dermal fillers can reverse “Ozempic Face,” the popular term for this issue.
If Dermal Fillers don’t do the trick or you’re worried about how they may change your face, Botox is another fantastic solution! It’s minimally invasive and works on the muscles underneath your skin, helping to reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
Best Facial Treatments for Your 50s and Beyond
Many women often see a quick decline in facial feature definition once they hit their 50s. Menopause exacerbates these problems with a significant decrease in collagen production, skin moisture, and bone density loss.
Facial treatments, such as IPL Photofacials, laser resurfacing, microchanneling, and chemical peels, still do a fantastic job of minimizing the appearance of pores, age spots, other pigmentation issues, and wrinkles. They also continue to promote collagen production, which helps your skin stay healthy and vibrant.
Unfortunately, they might not be enough to help you maintain your face’s youthful shape. A combination of dermal fillers and Botox can, though!
For longer-lasting solutions, other non-surgical options include Thread Lifts and Ultherapy.
Another concern for both men and women is varicose veins. This bothersome problem can start at any age, but as your skin becomes thinner, it becomes more and more noticeable. And while most people think of them as a leg issue, they can occur anywhere on the body.
Varicose Vein Treatment can solve this problem using safe and effective laser light and radiofrequency. It stops blood flow to the offending vein, which improves its appearance and prevents it from happening in that vein again.
Finally, as with any age, your daily habits can have a considerable impact on the health and look of your skin.
- Always wear sunscreen or protective clothing outside.
- Stay active to keep your muscles and bones strong and to promote good circulation.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. If needed, discuss supplements with your doctor.
- Keep your skin clean and apply lotions, creams, and serums based on your needs.
