Your skin doesn’t stay the same, and neither should your skincare. At About Face Aesthetics, we see clients in every decade of life, each with their own unique goals, questions, and skin concerns. Whether you’re navigating breakouts in your 20s or noticing fine lines in your 40s, the right care at the right time can make all the difference.

Here’s how your skin changes over time and what we recommend for each season of life. If you’re in Chapin, Union, or anywhere in the Midlands and wondering when to start,or upgrade, your skincare, this guide is for you.

In Your 20s: Prevention and Habits Matter Most

You might think you don’t need to worry about aging in your 20s, but this is the perfect time to start a routine that preserves your natural glow. The main concerns we see in this age group are acne, texture, early sun damage, and inconsistent skincare habits.

Top Priorities:

• Establish a consistent skincare routine with cleanser, vitamin C, SPF, and light hydration
  
  
• Treat acne or post-acne scarring early to avoid long-term texture
  
  
• Start tox as a preventive tool (yes, it’s a thing!)
  
  
• Build habits that protect your skin from environmental damage
  
  

Recommended Treatments:

• Microneedling for acne scars and refining texture
  
  
• Tox - Wrinkle Injections to prevent lines from setting in
  
  
• Medical-grade skincare to balance oil, reduce breakouts, and brighten tone
  
  

In Your 30s: Collagen Loss and Fine Lines Begin

Welcome to the decade where “tired” starts showing up even when you’ve had a full night’s sleep. In your 30s, collagen production slows, skin cell turnover decreases, and early lines or volume shifts become more noticeable.

Top Priorities:

• Support collagen production with active ingredients and regenerative treatments
  
  
• Address dark spots and dullness from sun exposure
  
  
• Introduce maintenance filler to prevent volume loss
  
  

Recommended Treatments:

• RF Microneedling to tighten and tone
  
  
• Regenerative Plasma Therapy for natural under-eye brightness
  
  
• Filler for lips, cheeks, or early under-eye hollowing
  
  
• Upgrade your skincare to include retinoids and targeted serums
  
  

In Your 40s: Volume Loss and Texture Take Center Stage

By now, skin may feel thinner, less firm, or more reactive to changes in stress and hormones. This is a decade where strategic treatment makes a dramatic difference, without making you look “done.”

Top Priorities:

• Restore volume subtly to maintain facial balance
  
  
• Treat deeper lines and skin laxity
  
  
• Address changes in pigmentation and texture
  
  

Recommended Treatments:

• Dermal Fillers for cheeks, chin, or jawline support
  
  
• Tox for frown lines, forehead, or crow’s feet
  
  
• RF Microneedling + Plasma Combo for deep rejuvenation
  
  
• Customized skincare plans with ingredients like peptides and growth factors
  
  

In Your 50s and Beyond: Support Aging Gracefully

Skin in your 50s+ needs care that respects maturity while still enhancing your natural beauty. Our goal is never to reverse the clock, but to help you feel like the best version of you at every age.

Top Priorities:

• Lift and support with regenerative techniques
  
  
• Treat volume loss in a way that looks soft and natural
  
  
• Focus on skin health, not just wrinkle reduction
  
  

Recommended Treatments:

• Biostimulators or advanced filler techniques to gently lift and restore
  
  
• Plasma treatments for skin tightening without surgery
  
  
• Skincare focused on hydration, elasticity, and barrier repair
  
  
• Ongoing support and consultation to match changing skin needs
