Beauty, health, nutrition… Everything you need to start at 30 #1

The fight against pimples

The right reasons. More than 40% of women aged 25 to 45 complain of regular skin imperfections (mainly on the jaws and chin). A phenomenon therefore not exceptional, and which deserves specific treatment.

Putting in practice. Restore your skin with a daily formula that regulates sebum, purifies the epidermis and tightens pores (Sébium Sérum, Bioderma, €10.50; Crème Magnifica Soin Hydratant Anti-Imperfections, Sanoflore, €20.40; Elixir du Marabout Concentrated anti-blemish + anti-aging serum, Garancia, €38.35). If the problem persists, we go to a dermatologist:"More than 15% of 30/35 year olds suffer from late acne, requiring comprehensive care", specifies Nadine Pomarède, dermatologist. On the program:dermatological cream, skin cleansing, even superficial peels.

High-flying sun protection

The right reasons. At 20, we have used more than half of our solar capital (50,000 to 150,000 hours, depending on the phototype). Since afterwards we weren't necessarily reasonable (75% of 15/25 year olds don't use an SPF higher than 15), in their thirties, carelessness in the matter is over!

Putting in practice. At the slightest exposure (even a game of tennis or a lunch on the terrace) we hide under an index 30 or 50 (clear phototype 1 or 2). To be renewed every 2 hours. A day cream or foundation with SPF 15 may be sufficient in winter (excluding skiing).

Vitamin B9 for a (future) pregnancy

The right reasons. Also called folate or folic acid, it is essential for the proper development of the fetus. Essential, when planning a pregnancy now or not:it's even better to start well before you get pregnant.

Putting in practice. We consume more lettuce, spinach, broccoli, pulses, liver, asparagus, or even avocados, oranges, raspberries. And possibly a complement, according to the opinion of the doctor.
