From 20 to 29, a great deal changes in not only your life but also your skin. “From your teens to your 20s, the skin loses some subcutaneous fat and collagen production decreases,” Colbert tells me. In other words, the juicy, dewy skin you might have naturally enjoyed at 21 might not be so plump at 28.
Similarly, Susanne Kaufmann advised that “you should work in your mid-to-late 20s preventatively against premature ageing of the skin.” This might mean looking for ingredients that stimulate collagen in your cleansers and moisturisers like vitamin C, or introducing retinol into your treatment stage as a preventative against fine lines and wrinkles. “Often underestimated but immensely important is the correct and regular use of eye cream,” Kaufmann tells me.
To combat these early signs of ageing and fatigue, French pharmacy brand Nuxe has created a new range of products specifically targeted towards this age group. The new Crème Prodigieuse Boost is designed to combat “the external and environmental factors that contribute to the first signs of ageing, including stress, pollution, dehydration and signs of fatigue,” a Nuxe representative tells me.
Our eyes are often the first place that gives away signs of stress and tiredness due to puffy under-eyes, dark circles and fine lines, so introducing an eye cream to your routine early on can work wonders as a preventative measure.
