The Best Skincare Routine at 30

(This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure here. )

1.) Feed Your Skin.

Before I get into my specific skincare routine regimen, we need to discuss nutrition. No product in the world is going to make up for unhealthy eating habits, dehydration, and poor sleep. Take care of these first and not only will your skin look better, but your whole body.

Now that the basics are taken care of, here are a few of my favorite nutritional products for my skin!

• A probiotic. Hands down, Garden of Life Raw probiotic is my all-time favorite. A little tip: it has to be refrigerated because the cultures are alive AKA more potent than any regular old probiotic you can pull off the sheld.  When we get stressed or eat poorly, our skin health takes a hit. Probiotics help balance your microbes which in turn can help reduce dry skin and wrinkles. It’s also great for stomach issues!
• Amazing Grass Superfood. It’s hard to get the proper nutrition our skin needs. That’s why I love taking Amazing Grass each day. It’s full of Spirulina, Chlorella, digestive enzymes, and yes, probiotics to help our skin glow.
• Collagen. Collagen is my little beauty secret. My skin looks soooo good from taking it. But here’s the catch. It can take several months for your body to build enough collagen to start seeing results. Stick with it and you will be amazed. I recommend several brands including Vitauthority, Vital Proteins, and Neocell.

2. My Morning Skincare Routine at 30

Second, here’s a glimpse at my current morning skincare routine. I do change it up depending on the season and current skin issues but I love how this regiment tackles both wrinkles and acne at the same time.

1. I wash my face with Mother Dirt face cleanser made of only plant-based ingredients that help balance my skin. This particular cleanser helps with my sometimes-red cheeks and acne. I do want to try micellar water eventually but am looking for a clean brand. If you know of one – let me know!
2. Then, I spray FRÉ skincare’s “I am Joy” rose water and argan face spray. It’s the first spray I’ve found with argan in it too which makes my face glow! Rose fights both acne and wrinkles. If you want a discount, use SARAHJEAN25 at checkout for at least 25% off. Plus, there is always fast and free shipping.
3. Lastly, I use FRÉ skincare’s Protect Me Defense Daily Moisturizer. It’s a nice light cream that absorbs quickly and also provides sun protection. Recently I’ve been mixing in The Ordinary’s 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder for a boost of Vitamin C.(I’ve used Drunk Elephant’s Time to Wake Up™ Vitamin C + Hydration Serum Duo in the past and LOVED it but it can start to turn quickly which is why I’m experimenting with the new ordinary Vitamin C powder.)

3. My Nighttime Skincare Routine at 30

I try to keep my nighttime skincare routine simple too. I’d love to know what you do! Comment below with your skincare routine.

1. I cleanse my face with FRÉ skincare’s Purify Me hydrating facial cleanser. It also contains a gentle exfoliant, saving me a step. I love how my skin never feels stripped, but also well cleansed. Remember to use SARAHJEAN25 at checkout for an extra discount. (SIDE NOTE: If I wore makeup that day I use an oil like Cocokind’s oil facial cleanser to gently remove my makeup. Again, I also want to try micellar water to see how well it works on makeup in the future.)
2. Next, I spray Andalou’s 1000 roses toner to hydrate my skin and prepare it for moisturizer. This stuff is the bomb dot com and so affordable. I also used it on my pregnant belly and I think it helped with not having any stretch marks. haha)
3. I then use FRÉ skincare’s Revive Me serum, another amazing product that combats the short and long-term damage caused by sweat and harmful environmental conditions including premature aging, dryness, and skin fatigue.
4. Lastly, I finish it off with The Ordinary’s “B” Oil that includes micro-algae to reduce redness, squalane to repair the moisture barrier, and a blend of magical oils. It’s so good for the price too.

And that’s my skincare routine at 30. As you can see, I use a variety of products from a variety of places to create my ideal routine. It’s about finding what works best for YOU. These are products I stand behind but what works for me might not work for you. We’re all different.
