From dark spots and dullness to deep set wrinkles and crepiness, our skin changes as we age – and our moisturizer should change with it. Below we explain how the skin changes with age, the benefits of facial moisturizer, and how to find the best anti-aging cream for your 30s through to your 60s.
How skin changes with age
With age, the skin naturally changes. It becomes thinner, loses elasticity and its natural sebum levels decrease. These changes result in loss of firmness, with facial contours appearing less defined and wrinkles more pronounced. Applying a deeply hydrating face cream infused with key anti-aging ingredients can help to maintain a youthful-looking appearance.
Why is it important to moisturize the skin?
Moisturizing and anti-aging skincare routines are typically implemented to target signs of aging. However, how well you look after your skin in your 20’s and 30’s will impact its health, tone and texture in later life. It's best to take preventative measures to delay signs of aging and damage than try to reverse them - but whatever your age, it’s never too late to achieve more youthful-looking skin with the right anti-aging cream.

The best anti-aging cream for your 30s
While skin typically feels plump and firm in your 20s and early 30s, lifestyle and environmental factors (including facial movements, lack of sleep and sun exposure) can damage the skin, resulting in the appearance of smile lines and sunspots. To prevent premature signs of aging, it’s best to implement an anti-wrinkle skincare routine that helps to protect the skin.

Best anti-aging cream for 40s
From your mid 30s, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid levels in the body naturally deplete, leaving skin looking less plump, firm and healthy. Fine lines between the brows and crow's feet typically appear at this time. To maintain skin’s youthful appearance, it’s essential to use a hydrating and smoothing moisturizer with SPF that helps to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and lock in hydration.

It's formulated with hyaluronic acid, No7’s unique anti-wrinkle peptide technology, and ginseng extract to fight the look of tiredness and fatigue, lending skin a more youthful and radiant-looking appearance.

Best moisturizer for aging skin over 60
From your 60s onwards, skin becomes particularly prone to dryness and crepiness, as the top two layers of the skin (the epidermis and dermis) grow thinner and flatter. A fortifying and firming face cream infused with anti-wrinkle technology is essential to achieve a renewed and youthful-looking glow.
