Skincare in Your 30s: What Changes and What to Focus On

Your 30s are often when skin starts to show subtle changes — a bit more dryness, slower healing, the first signs of fine lines or pigmentation. It’s also when many clients come to us saying: “What used to work isn’t working anymore.”

This decade is all about transitioning your routine from prevention to active support. You don’t need an aggressive anti-ageing strategy, but it is time to get intentional. Here’s how to approach skin care in your 30s — with a balance of simplicity, targeted treatments, and barrier-first thinking.

Start Supporting Collagen (Gently)

From your late 20s to early 30s, collagen production naturally begins to decline. You don’t need harsh peels or intense products, but this is a great time to introduce ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, or retinols — depending on your tolerance.

Our skin care range includes options that support collagen production without compromising skin comfort.

Pigmentation and Texture Often Become a Focus

Whether from sun exposure, old breakouts, or hormonal changes, many clients notice uneven tone creeping in. Texture — like enlarged pores or dullness — also tends to increase.

This is where in-clinic treatments can be incredibly effective. We often recommend a combination of laser, skin rejuvenation, or facials depending on the concern. The goal is not drastic change — it’s long-term skin clarity and strength.

Your Barrier Needs More Care Than Ever

Many people start overdoing it in their 30s — chasing youthful skin with actives and peels. The result? Inflamed, sensitised skin that can’t hold moisture or tolerate simple ingredients.

Less is more. You need your skin barrier strong and resilient before anything else. That’s why our consultations focus first on how your skin is functioning — and we only build from there.

Treatment Planning in Your 30s

This is the ideal decade to start light but consistent treatment planning. You don’t need to “fix” your face — but investing in foundational treatments like:

• Gentle resurfacing with Fotona

• Targeted pigment work

• Preventative facials to support hydration and barrier function

  Can help you maintain healthy skin and avoid needing more invasive work later.

Book a Skin Consultation in Your 30s

If you’re noticing changes in your skin — or if you just want a plan that evolves with you — book a consultation. We’ll assess your skin in detail, listen to your concerns, and create a routine and treatment approach that supports you through this next stage — simply, professionally, and without hype.
