Over 40% of women aged 25 to 45 report regular skin imperfections, especially on the jawline and chin. This widespread issue calls for targeted skincare solutions.
Restore balance with a daily serum that regulates sebum, purifies the skin, and tightens pores (Sébium Sérum, Bioderma, €10.50; Crème Magnifica Soin Hydratant Anti-Imperfections, Sanoflore, €20.40; Elixir du Marabout Concentrated anti-blemish + anti-aging serum, Garancia, €38.35). If problems persist, see a dermatologist: "More than 15% of 30- to 35-year-olds experience late-onset acne, requiring comprehensive treatment," says dermatologist Nadine Pomarède. Expect prescription creams, deep cleansing, and superficial peels.
By age 20, you've already used over half your lifetime sun exposure quota (50,000 to 150,000 hours, based on skin type). With 75% of 15- to 25-year-olds using only SPF 15 or lower, it's time to prioritize protection in your 30s.
Apply SPF 30 or 50+ (for fair skin types 1 or 2) during any exposure, like tennis or terrace lunches, reapplying every 2 hours. A daytime moisturizer or foundation with SPF 15 suffices in winter (except skiing).
Folate, or folic acid, is crucial for fetal development. Start intake well before conception, whether planning now or later.
Boost levels with lettuce, spinach, broccoli, legumes, liver, asparagus, avocados, oranges, and raspberries. Consult your doctor about supplements if needed.
