Every day, the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, both from direct sunlight and as a result of using gadgets. These UV rays can destroy collagen and elasticity which causes the skin to wrinkle and cause spots.
To control the bad effects of UV rays, using sunscreen is very important. Therefore, never skip sunscreen even during the rainy season.
For the record, you can choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 which contains zinc oxide, avonenzone, titanium dioxide, or mexoryl.
2. Use Active Ingredients in Skin Care

Skin problems that become increasingly complex as we enter our 30s mean beauties need to include active ingredients in facial care. These active ingredients consist of three groups, namely preventative, therapeutic and special. Preventive active ingredients include vitamins and antioxidants which play a role in overcoming aging.
Meanwhile, therapeutic ingredients can repair skin damage that already exists. Examples of active ingredients include retinol, alpha hydroxy acid, vitamin C and several peptides. The active ingredients are specifically intended for certain problems such as acne or abnormal pigmentation.
So, you can choose treatment ingredients according to your skin problems. For example, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, thyme, and tea tree oil for acne while for hyperpigmentation problems you can use treatment products made from arbutin, soybeans, licorice, and bearberry.
3. Follow a Low Glycemic Diet

Beauties, foods with a high glycemic index not only trigger a spike in blood sugar but can also weaken collagen. In fact, a study found that excessive consumption of high glycemic products can cause premature aging as early as the mid-30s.
Therefore, if you really want to stay young, don’t just focus on skincare, you should also pay attention to everything you consume. Related to this, you can start doing a low glycemic diet. In this case, try to start reducing your consumption of white rice and prefer brown rice, wheat or oatmeal.
4. Control Body Weight

Drastic and repeated weight gain or loss can also have an impact on the beauty of your skin. The reason is, this can cause skin elasticity to deteriorate and leave wrinkles and sagging effects.
So, controlling body weight is no less important. Apart from paying attention to your diet, you also have to do exercise to help maintain your weight. It is important to remember that each person may have a different ideal body weight depending on height.
5. Reduce stress and maintain sleep

Continuous stress can cause the body to produce more of the stress hormone cortisol. This can damage collagen and skin elasticity. Therefore, Beauties need to reduce stress, one of which is by regularly meditating and maintaining sleep patterns.
Specifically, sleep causes the body to produce growth hormone. Many of the body’s natural tissue repair mechanisms are also active during sleep, including skin repair mechanisms. So, make sure you always get enough sleep, especially at night you need to sleep at least 7 to 8 hours.
Beauties, that’s a list of things you shouldn’t skip if you want to stay young when you enter your 30s. Don’t lose your enthusiasm to always maintain the health of your skin, okay?
