This is when the skin is in its best condition, and its metabolism and repair ability are in a very ideal state. Even if there are some minor problems, it can be repaired quickly.
Just use a moisturizing and hydrating cream that is not very functional.

Skin age 25-30 years old: Anti-oxidant cream
From the age of 25, the collagen in the skin begins to lose, the skin moisture gradually decreases, and some minor problems often occur, but the resistance is still good, and the elasticity is still good.
At this time, the skin has begun to become fragile, and it is necessary to enhance the skin's antioxidant properties to prevent cells from being invaded by external pollution, leading to the appearance of fine lines.

Skin age 30～35 years old: Spot-reducing and firming cream

To cope with this kind of skin, it is necessary to use creams that can improve the metabolism of skin melanin and make skin cells more plumped, smoothed and firmed. It should be noted that when applying cream, you must not ignore the dead corners of the forehead, corners of the eyes, and corners of lips that are often overlooked in normal maintenance. You can focus on using anti-wrinkle products on these areas.

When using this type of cream, you must do a good job of moisturizing and moisturizing for medium-dry skin. For example, adding a moisturizing essence and using essence oil in autumn and winter are all good moisturizing skin care methods.
