The Best Revitalizing Serum for 20, 30 & 40-Somethings

Face serums may be lightweight, but they’re extremely powerful. Besides your SPF sunscreen and your cleanser, it’s perhaps the most important of your skincare toolkit. Why might that be? Well, the best revitalizing serum for your skin type will contain active ingredients that your skin just loves and in the kind of concentration that really packs a punch. 

In my opinion – and you’re welcome to it – if you want to know where best to spend your skincare dollars, it should be on a good face serum. That said, you do need to think about what your skin needs. This will be influenced by your age and that’s what I’m going to take a look at here, as I take you through the things you need to think about when buying yours.

Are you ready? Then let’s dive in!

For People in Their 20s

When you’re in your 20s, the best revitalizing serum for you will be something that contains elastin. We’re really talking about the second half of your twenties when the collagen levels in your skin begin to decline. Maintaining high levels of elastin can be majorly beneficial in preventing fine lines from developing. 

For People in Their 30s

When you hit your thirties, this is when the signs of ageing begin to become more apparent, with not just fine lines, but wrinkles and deeper lines appearing. It’s also when uneven pigmentation can start to occur and a serum that contains Vitamin C is great for this. Use a Vitamin C-rich serum and you’ll find your skin brightening, in addition to enjoying its powerful antioxidant qualities.

For People in their 40s

As ladies progress into their 40s, their natural levels of estrogen begin to drop, which can often lead to dryness. The best revitalizing serum for skin that’s further into the ageing process will contain Vitamin C, Retinol and hyaluronic acid. Used along with a nourishing moisturizer, your skin gets lots of help in dealing with redness, lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. 

Look After Your Skin & It Will Look After You Back

When you’re thinking about the best revitalizing serum for your skin, you do have to think about what your skin needs. Your age will play a big part in the answer to that particular question.

Personally, I try not to convince myself that I’m younger than I really am and I listen to what my skin is telling me. I’m in my 30s and I use a retinol serum as part of my daily skincare routine and it suits me well. It’s keeping the lines away and for that I will be eternally grateful.

What you use for yours is your prerogative, but if you stick to the tips I’ve provided here, I’m sure that you won’t go far wrong. I hope the information I’ve provided you with here helps you to find the ideal serum for your needs.
