At What Age Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Products? Here’s What Skincare Experts Recommend

Signs of aging can be prevented with a proper skincare routine from an early age. Learn when and how to start using anti-aging products.

Adopting a facial care routine from an early age is key to delaying the signs of aging. Beauty experts assure that, while there’s no exact age to start using anti-aging products, doing so from your 20s can make a difference in your skin’s long-term health.

From proper cleansing and hydration to the use of active ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C, each stage of life presents different dermatological needs.

The professionals consulted agree: prevention is more effective than correction, and maintaining youthful skin requires consistency, sun protection, and a comprehensive approach.

Skincare at every stage: from prevention to anti-aging actives

Specialists from the firm WILD RAIN affirm that youth is the best time to develop healthy facial care habits. In your twenties, controlling acne and oil production is essential, as is incorporating gentle cleansers and moisturizers that protect the skin barrier.

Raquel González, cosmetologist and technical director of Perricone MD, clarifies that “all cosmetics have an anti-aging function,” as they promote skin health. However, she suggests that more potent ingredients, such as retinol or vitamin C, should be used judiciously and according to skin type, as they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, key to maintaining firmness.

Sun protection: the best anti-aging ally

Briyi Pérez, official makeup artist for Gentleman Cosmetics, insists that sunscreen should be the cornerstone of any anti-aging routine. Sun exposure and other factors like smoking accelerate skin aging. Therefore, she recommends applying sunscreen every day, even indoors, to prevent wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity.

For mature skin, she adds, daily hydration should be complemented with anti-wrinkle and antioxidant products, without neglecting UV protection.

From 30 onwards: rejuvenating active ingredients to maintain elasticity

Once you reach the age of 30, your skin begins to show more noticeable changes. Experts recommend incorporating products with ingredients that stimulate cell regeneration, such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and niacinamide. These anti-aging active ingredients help preserve elasticity, reduce fine lines, and improve the overall texture of your face.

Healthy habits: the key to radiant skin
In addition to the use of anti-aging products, lifestyle directly influences skin health. Stress, lack of sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, and an unbalanced diet can accelerate skin deterioration. Therefore, experts promote a holistic approach that includes a consistent skincare routine, a healthy diet, exercise, and adequate rest.

Ultimately, starting to care for your skin at a young age, using appropriate products, and protecting it from the sun is the best strategy for achieving healthy, firm, and radiant skin for longer.
