It’s no secret that your skin will age with time. Aging comes with different kinds of skin conditions and treatment options. Personally, when I was in my teens and my peers were undergoing teenage acne, I would easily get away with using any detergent bar soap… and I mean any! To clean, and sometimes moisturize my skin. Good skin was a thing back then. Shortly after, adult acne checked in and I was majorly alarmed.
Skincare takes another form in your 30’s. This is a transitional time seeing that your skin is completely post-puberty and this is when you first start noticing signs of aging and sun damage because sunscreen was a foreign language to us in our 20s. Your skin’s repair system slows down, which means that skin can appear duller as a result, and decreased collagen production means that your skin will appear less tight, so you might see early wrinkles and thinner skin overall.
This may be difficult to accept, but once you have discovered the proper skin products for your skin type, and established a daily skincare routine, you can now start the process of aging gracefully.
Using skincare tools in your 30s helps you maintain healthy skin. You can utilize them to deal with common skin issues like wrinkles, discolorations, and dryness. You can also utilize them to make your anti-aging products work better for your skin. These tools intensify cleansing. They amplify the efficacy of your serums and creams. They boost your natural beauty. And sometimes, they straight-up fight wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging.

Vibrating Facial Massager
Vibrating face massagers seem to fall on the low-tech end of the beauty gadget spectrum despite being safe for all skin types. One major perk of these tools is their ability to smooth your skin for an anti-aging effect. That pumping motion and increased blood flow also work to quash puffiness. You don’t want to use one of these on a dry face. For slip, be sure to apply either the gel your tool comes with or something that hydrates your skin.
Anti-aging Light Shield Mask
This is the IT GIRL when it comes to skincare tools. The device’s red light calms inflammation, the blue light targets acne and breakouts, and the amber setting aims to fade dark spots. The mask is equipped with a self-timer that turns off after each 15-minute session, and it’s hands-free and cordless, which means you can go about your day while you treat your skin.
Uplifting Gua Sha
Gua Sha is an ancient medicine method adapted from Asia and truth be told you can never go wrong with traditional Chinese medicine. These tools are made from raw crystals, the most popular is the rose quartz crystal which emits transformational energy. This is a simple, effective, and stress-relieving way to help improve the appearance of skin laxity, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce fluid retention, and trigger muscle relaxation for a smoother, more transformed appearance.

Microneedling Stamper
Be cautious when using this tool. Do not overstamp one area. Maintain the same rhythmic pressure across the face and ensure you follow up with a serum.
Face Massaging Tools
Gentle massaging 5 to 10 minutes a day will help promote blood flow and fade fine lines with time.
