Skincare regimes: three women, three ages, three plans

Your skincare regime changes with you - here we offer solutions for women at three different ages: 30s, 40s and 50s

It’s rare to meet a woman, regardless of her age, who’s entirely satisfied with the state of her skin. Some fixate on slackness while others complain about redness, while many feel their complexions look weathered and nearly everyone is after a miracle cure.

Alas, there is no simple solution as our hormones, lifestyles and environments are constantly in flux. Understanding the biological and hormonal processes occurring at different life stages helps explain why skin goes thorough rough, radiant and often renegade phases.

But, the ultimate secret weapon is to examine your skin every few days and then feed it accordingly - don’t just apply the same daily products out of habit. For each era, a few good skincare basics typically suffice but, extra boosters and nourishing treats should be edited in and out of the mix when needed.
