True aging of the skin begins to appear from the age of thirty-five. The process starts much earlier, on average from 20 years. The rate at which wrinkles appear depends on the amount of collagen, so it’s different for everyone. After 35 years, the amount of important substances begins to steadily decline.
Causes of aging:
- Lifestyle;
- Environment;
- Genetic predisposition.
If you take this into account, it’s clear why women look different at 35. The type of aging is individual for everyone. You need to choose the right face cream after 35.
Types of aging:
- The tired type is characterized by an oval or diamond-shaped face, with normal or combination skin. External changes include decreased muscle tone, turgor, and dull complexion. Such women need sound, healthy sleep.
- The finely wrinkled type is found in thin women with dry facial skin. Signs of this type: dryness, early expression wrinkles, as well as around the lips. Owners of this type should not smoke, they need to drink more fluids.
- The deformation type is typical for overweight women with oily skin. Changes: swelling, double chin, swollen oval of the face. To prevent this aging, you need to lose weight.
- Combined type is the most common type of aging. Similar to tired, deformation types.
- The muscular type is typical for women with Asian appearance. The face lasts a long time, signs of aging appear late. Moisturizers can be used.
Having understood the condition of your skin, you need to pay attention to cosmetics. Face creams after 35 years:
- Cleansing products help remove dead epidermal cells. At this age they are poorly replaced;
- For the area around the eyes, special serums are needed so as not to injure the sensitive area;
- Day and night cream;
- Anti-aging products;
Problems such as sebaceous blockages, acne, oily shine, you need to take into account the individual skin type and select a product with the help of a cosmetologist.
After 35 years, the skin becomes more vulnerable than before, so rough facial scrubs should be removed from your cosmetic bag. Peeling with harsh substances will worsen her condition.
In the cosmetics market, it is difficult to choose the right substance for your type of epidermis. You need to pay attention to your characteristics, after a full examination by a dermatologist, and choose the appropriate cream.
You should familiarize yourself with the advice of cosmetologists on choosing cosmetics:
- The age on the packaging should match yours. If you purchase a cream that is 40 years old, this may lead to an excess of nutritional components. The cells will get used to the abundant supply of substances and will stop producing collagen on their own.
- The best options are products with hyaluronic acid. This substance gives elasticity and firmness.
- Seek help from a cosmetologist if you cannot determine your skin type and its aging on your own. This is an important element when purchasing a product.
- It is recommended to buy a set of products. While you are struggling with one problem, another may appear. It is better to purchase immediately and eliminate defects at the same time.
- Creams with UV filters protect against exposure to sunlight.
- Check the ingredients before purchasing anti-aging cosmetics. Many products with artificial substances and substitutes are sold in the markets. Choose creams with most natural ingredients.
- Try the product by purchasing a sample. To begin with, it is better to test all creams.
Is the use of face cream mandatory after 35 years of age?
Every woman knows that wrinkles do not appear overnight.
The aging process does not occur quickly, but, unfortunately, it cannot be stopped. All a person can do is try to further delay the onset of fever and keep his skin in good condition for a long time.
For almost all women, the age mark of 35 years is accompanied by the appearance of fine wrinkles. And it is during this period that the skin becomes vulnerable and begins to sag. The thing is that after reaching this age, the human body stops actively producing collagen, which helps keep the skin toned.
At a young age, a woman could cope with minor skin problems with the help of a regular moisturizing or nourishing cream, however, over the years, this option becomes less effective and the skin needs more serious care.
If the moisturizer stops giving the desired effect, then it’s time to purchase an anti-aging complex or use an anti-wrinkle cream after 35 years.
What lives on the shelf of a 35-year-old woman with dry skin?
I've always been curious about how people build their skincare routine. So the flash mob “What Lives on the Shelf” is the most interesting for me so far. I’ll admire someone else’s, and I’ll share my own.
I am 35 years old, I have dry skin and a deformation type of aging, so I build my care taking into account two main needs: hydration and maintaining elasticity. I select care according to the needs of the skin, taking into account the season. In winter, acids, retinol, in spring (in my area it is already starting slowly) - recovery after them, in summer something lighter.
I love it when there are separate night and day products; I prefer to take the core of the care (serums, day and night cream) from one line.
In my case, shelf is a clear understatement. To be honest, all my maintenance takes up an entire wall in the bathroom, plus the supplies live in the wine cabinet. But there wasn’t enough light in the bathroom for normal photographs, so my “shelf” was improvised, and the flowers had to move a little.
This is what facial care looks like (a clumsy collage of two photos) on 4 shelves in the bathroom.
Let's start with cleansing
. I'm not very picky in this area. My main requirement is that products for removing makeup and subsequently cleansing the skin do not dry it out and do their job well.
This trio has been with me for almost a year and I am more than satisfied.
Hydrophilic oil Biore cleansing oil
Gently removes makeup. Emulsifies with water into a smooth milk. He can cope even with long-lasting cosmetics. I use it all over my face, including to remove eye makeup.

Biore foaming face wash
I use it for morning cleansing and as a second step of cleansing. One press of the dispenser produces a portion approximately the size of a quail egg. The foam is delicate, incredibly soft, like a cloud. I really like the foaming dispenser.
Delicate foam with marshmallow scent.
Cleans well, but delicately, without squeaking and smells wonderful of marshmallows. I don’t use foam as a stand-alone makeup remover, but if necessary, it can handle everything except stubborn mascara.

Testing period: 11 months;
Cost: £10.
Biore oils and foam have only one drawback - they are endless! And sometimes you really want variety. At the moment, as an alternative to both of them I use
Oskia London Renaissance cleansing gel.
The gel is very interesting, it contains enzymes and gently dissolves makeup. On contact with water it turns into an oil, but not greasy. The gel oil is easily washed off with water, removing makeup without a trace, and feels like it does not require additional washing with foam. My skin feels very comfortable after using it. When used solo, it does not clog pores, but my skin is not prone to this.

Testing period: 4 weeks;
Cost: I have the miniature advent calendar, the full size version costs £11.
The final stage of my cleansing lately has been discs with acids. At the moment these are First Aid Beauty facial radiance pads.
The discs are very well soaked, one is enough for the entire face and neck. I had to use two similar Nip+FABs. One of the sides of the disk is embossed, the other is smooth, but I don’t feel the difference between them.
The composition of the discs is very interesting; in addition to lactic and glycolic acids, they contain a lot of fruit extracts, and in second and fourth place are aloe juice and cucumber water, which soften and moisturize the skin.
The discs are good for dry skin, I can even use them every day. But since I now have two enzyme masks in my care, I use them 2-3 times a week.
First Aid Beauty facial radiance pads are designed to exfoliate dead skin cells. I think if you use them every day, the effect will be better, but even I can see their positive effect on complexion and skin texture.

My package contains 28 pieces, there are also jars with 60 disks.
The second stage of my care is targeted serums and moisturizing
After cleansing my skin, I apply Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating to my face.
Surely, many on Kosmetist are very familiar with him. This is one of the best moisturizing lotions I have ever come across. It can save even dry skin, deeply moisturizes and heals. I pour Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating into the palm of my hand and apply it with gentle movements to the face, neck, décolleté, as well as dry elbows and even calves. And still I haven’t been able to finish this bottle for 9 months!
The texture of the lotion is a sticky liquid slightly thicker than water. After application, the face remains sticky for some time, but a serum or cream on top solves this problem.
Even though after 9 months of using this product I was terribly tired of it, I still ordered a new bottle. It has become a real salvation for my dry skin. In addition to the bottle in the bathroom, I have a second one that lives on the bedside table. Sometimes at night my hands get very dry and I have a rather large scar that you can’t apply a night mask to because of the area. This lotion instantly helps relieve dryness.
The lotion contains 3 types of hyaluronic acid (regular, nano and super). Some of its molecules linger on the skin, while some penetrate through the pores. This is probably why it moisturizes so well and deeply.

After moisturizing come serums
. I approach their choice carefully. It is serums that are responsible for lifting and fighting the signs of indomitably approaching aging.
Now I am actively getting acquainted with leaving Sesderm. Good Grandfather Frost brought me two beautiful gift sets.
Sesderma Factor G renew
rejuvenating serum
is an innovative development.
The serum contains as many as 7 plant growth factors, extracted and processed using biotechnology so as to become the most tolerant to the skin. They reach target cells (don't ask me how) and increase collagen and elastin production. In theory, all this should lead to visible skin rejuvenation after 28 days.
I’ve only been using the serum for the third week, so it’s too early to draw any conclusions. But it moisturizes well and is comfortable to use.
My least favorite form is a bottle with a pipette. The expense, by the way, is high. I need a full dropper and another quarter for my face.
The consistency is jelly-like, thick. Immediately after application, the skin is slightly sticky.
At this point I would give it a 10. The serum is very moisturizing and I can see a change in skin texture. But when you consistently take good care of your face, it’s difficult to see real changes quickly. Moreover, before this I had an incredibly cool serum. Ingredients in the table below

Let's move on to creams. In general, I prefer that all basic care comes from one line. But with a lot of holiday gifts and Advent loot, I'm between episodes now.
I'm almost out of the wonderful Elemis pro-collagen marine cream.
Just recently I wrote a post about him. Good basic day cream. It wonderfully moisturizes my dry skin, visually smoothes out wrinkles, filling them in, and holds the foundation well.
I used it in the morning for about 3 months.
Just started using (10 days) Sesderma Daeses Lifting cream.
Usually I switch from old to new cream gradually, alternating them. Just... for some reason. Probably to avoid severe allergies and have time to run to the store for a new cream, if necessary.
Incredibly delicate, pearl-colored, light cream offers to defy gravity.
The cream contains DMAE, organic silicon, biopeptides and a patented instant complex designed to make skin firmer and more elastic.
What can I say for now... 10 days, the flight is normal. The cream is pleasant, quite dense with a seemingly light texture. For now, I use it every other day, but after finishing the jar of Elemis, I will transfer it to the role of daytime and connect its colleagues - night cream and serum from the same series.
Of course, there was no immediate lifting. So far, the positive effects I see are a noticeable narrowing of the pores, which allows me to hope that the skin is reacting well and tightening. The downside is the mind-blowing smell of creamy ice cream. I immediately want something sweet. We will draw conclusions a couple of months later. Don’t pay attention to the rating, the form simply won’t work without it.

Gatineau Melatogenine AOX Probiotics youth activating beauty serum and Advance Rejuvenating cream have been responsible for my night care for two and a half years now, with short breaks
I once bought several sets with miniatures at a very good promotion. Since then they have been with me on all my trips. But the shelf life is not infinite, so I transferred the remaining ones to night care.
This is Love. Pleasant textures, unobtrusive delicate aroma and noticeable effect on the skin. In addition, probiotics increase local immunity, so I forgot about rashes on my face immediately after reading this series.
You can read in detail here. Since then, the excitement has only increased.
Another pleasant product Sesderma Factor G Renew chin &neck
A small tube with a volume of only 15 ml. Thanks to the thin spout, the cream, which has a light gel-like texture, is easy to dose.
This cream has been on my shelf for more than a month, so I’m ready to evaluate its performance. Sesderma Factor G Renew chin is comfortable to use, it does not make your neck sweat, and your foundation does not crease. The cream is light, so it can be spread in a thin layer.
On my neck, unlike my face and body, the skin tends to be more oily than dry. So hydration is enough for me.
Again, I’ve been taking care of my neck for a long time, and the skin on it is mmm... ambiguous due to several scars. And this cream is the first that affected not only the skin itself, but also the scars. They have softened significantly (I mean significantly). It looks like the promises of regeneration are being fulfilled.
The skin itself, it seems to me, has also tightened. But I can’t definitely attribute this merit to this particular cream yet, since I also have a night cream for my neck. It’s the strangest thing to read, but it exists.

Prai Ageless Throat & Décolletage Cream
my night cream for neck and décolleté.
The cream is thick, has the texture of whipped cream cheese, but spreads thinly on the skin. Does not create a film, the neck under it does not sweat even at night.
The cream is ambiguous and did not cause much enthusiasm. The thing is that my foundation was slipping off on it. No neck cream has ever done this before, but the same thing happened with other tones. I ended up switching it to night use.
Otherwise, the cream is not bad: moisturizes, nourishes, smells barely perceptible. But it still doesn't do anything special. I definitely won’t repeat it.

No, this is not the third neck cream. In general, this is a breast cream. And yes, I understand that breasts are not a face at all. But since this cream lived on the shelf with neck products, I’ll tell you about it too. Phergal push-up breast elixir.
Light cream-gel with centella asiatica promises to tone and tighten the skin on the chest. And he does it.
It is important to understand the difference between breast skin and breasts themselves. The cream, of course, does nothing to the tissues under the skin. But it moisturizes the skin on the chest and décolleté well and keeps it toned. Does not leave marks on linen and clothes, is absorbed very quickly.
The only minus of the cream is the scent. It is pleasant, floral, barely noticeable from the tube, but on the skin it reveals unexpectedly bright notes of citrus. I feel it for at least an hour.

From the deep neckline area we suddenly move to the eyes. In a sense, there is even logic here.
The first step in caring for the area under my eyes is patches. This is all I hope to overcome the bruises. But you can’t argue with nature, so the patches are more likely to make my son laugh and scare my husband. That's why I love colored ones.
Now the bottle of purple Petitfee Agave Cooling Hydrogel Eye Mask

The main task - to make people laugh/scare is performed with an A+: the husband even jumped up the first two times. They moisturize the skin under the eyes quite well, fit well and do not slip off. Thin enough, they can be applied close to the eyelashes and positioned with millimeter precision.
There is also an effect on bruises, but it is purely psychological. When I take off the purple patches, my bruises don't seem so bad. They may still whiten the skin a little, but the camera doesn't pick it up.
In general, these are some of the reasons out of the many patches I have tried.

My eye care consists of a wonderful moisturizer, which, as I recently found out, has already been discontinued. Skin Doctors Youth Cell youth activating eye cream.
The white cream has an airy texture, deeply moisturizes, but does not make the eyelids fatter.
I usually supplement my moisturizer with a base serum, but the previous one from the same brand was not very successful, and a replacement is still on the way. So now it's just cream.
So we got to my favorite section: masks
!
I believe that masks can solve many skin problems: cleanse it, get rid of dull color, slightly even out the texture, moisturize and even temporarily reduce wrinkles.
I try to limit myself to 7 masks in my arsenal, if only because there are 7 days in a week, but only one face. Otherwise, I simply don’t have time to use them to the end.
I make masks almost every day, often combining them with each other. As a result, I just manage to use them in accordance with the recommendations: some once a week, some 2-3.
You've probably noticed that my skincare routine now contains no acids, scrubs, peels, or even rollers. There are several reasons for this:
- It's quite sunny here and it's time to close the acid season. Now I only left the discs every other day and put the masks and tonics aside;
- I am happy with my face and do not see the need to further injure skin prone to rosacea;
- I found the ideal way for me to remove dead cells - enzymes.
I have already written more than once about the advantages of enzymes over acids. In short: they are not sensitive to the pH of the environment, do not increase photosensitivity and act through the natural mechanism of getting rid of dead cells, they simply speed it up.
My favorite mask from Andalou has a worthy competitor - Bielenda Profesional Enzymatic Face Scrub.
Representative of the professional line of the Bielenda company. Despite the word “scrub” in the name, this is a mask; there are no scrubbing particles in it.
The mask has a gel-like texture and does not smell like natural berries, but it is very pleasant, like berry jelly. The manufacturer recommends applying it for 10 minutes, then rinsing off.
The main advantage over the enzyme mask from Andalou is precisely the time of exposure and ease of removal. And the result is the same: improved complexion and skin texture.
The mask has a gentle effect and does not cause discomfort. But if you leave it on your face too long, you can get redness. This has never happened with Andalou; she is more delicate. But this is a professional line, so, probably, the strict time requirements are justified.
At the moment, I am very pleased with the mask and am eager to try something else from Bielenda’s professional products.

Another favorite and my main must-have: Gatineau Aquamemmory high hydration cream-mask.
I have sung odes to it many times, since this is the best moisturizing mask in my life, and I have something to compare it with, since I have been struggling with dry skin for 10 years now.
Can be used as a classic moisturizing mask for 10-15 minutes to literally save dehydrated skin, as a night cream in a thin layer and as a night mask on top of care. She is beautiful in every way!
Shiseido Firming Massage Mask is responsible for a very important aspect of lifting for me.
.
The mask is dense and contains orange grains that dissolve during the massage. This is a winter mask, it envelops you with warmth. In the summer I feel uncomfortable and hot in it, so I try to do it in courses in the autumn and winter.
Massage, of course, is too lazy, but it has a noticeable lymphatic drainage effect. If done regularly, it helps to “return” the swollen oval of the face to its place. If you do not massage, it works as a good nourishing mask.
Filorga Meso-Mask smoothing radiance Mask
I almost always have it too. The miniature format is more convenient for me, because after a course of 5-6 masks I stop seeing the effect. The skin somehow gets used to it or there is no room for improvement (the latter is unlikely). After a break of a couple of months, the effect is again visible - the skin becomes healthier in appearance, the dull complexion goes away, and wrinkles decrease slightly for a while. But the effect does not last long.
Just yesterday I accidentally left this mask on for 20 minutes (I fell asleep with it on) and really got “bright skin”, as the manufacturer promised. Only the traffic lights were brighter than me. But this happened for the first time in several years. However, be careful not to exceed the recommended 15-30 minutes.

What’s good is that the effect fades away gradually, the mask lasts for 6 hours.
Rating: 10 out of 10;
Duration of use: about 2 years before evening outings.
Cost: £42 for a full size, which is a bit pricey. But REN is very generous with miniatures, plus there are sets of mini masks.
Finally, not really a mask, but rather an SOS - a remedy for extremely dry skin, Aquesos Cream BP.
A very thick, rich cream that eliminates dry skin. It can be used as a super gentle wash on the face and whole body by adding it to water, but there are no lathering agents in it, so don't expect any foam. Or you can apply it locally to particularly dry areas.
This is a home remedy, even at night. Any foundation on it will rub off instantly, plus it gives an oily shine. But if my skin turns red after wind or cold, my hands feel tight from dryness, or my calves begin to flake off in flakes - just one application is enough and the dryness is gone. This cream is a real salvation for very, very dry skin. A separate plus is the almost ridiculous price - 2 pounds for 150 ml!

Benefits of using anti-aging cream
Despite the assertion of many cosmetologists that anti-wrinkle cream 35 is unlikely to be able to completely remove existing wrinkles, the cosmetic composition can provide effective help to the skin. A good anti-wrinkle cream after 35 years can reduce problematic manifestations, strengthen the skin and partially restore its elasticity.
Problems begin when a woman thinks about how to choose a cream so that it really turns out to be effective and does not become a useless purchase.
The thing is that creams have different concentrations and, accordingly, affect the skin of people of different ages individually. For example, an anti-wrinkle cream for 35 years is not suitable for young girls and will become useless for women older than this age.
Masks
One of the most effective ways to combat wrinkles is homemade cosmetic masks.
Yagodnaya
In summer, it is recommended to make masks from fresh berries.
They need to be mashed or rubbed through a sieve. Add a teaspoon of warmed honey and oil (for example, almond) to a tablespoon of berry puree. Grind the mass. If it turns out too liquid, add a little potato starch. Apply for twenty minutes.

This version of the cosmetic composition is recommended for use to eliminate wrinkles around the eyes.

Smetannaya
This is a very simple but effective recipe for moisturizing the skin and eliminating wrinkles. You will need about a tablespoon of thick, preferably homemade, sour cream. It needs to be mixed with a teaspoon of oil. You can take unrefined olive, almond or peach. Rinse off with warm water 20 minutes after application.
Camphor
The following cosmetic composition works well against wrinkles: beat one chicken egg yolk with the addition of a teaspoon of camphor oil. Apply the composition to the face using a brush or sponge. Wash off a quarter of an hour after application.
Gelatinous
Pour 10 grams of gelatin with 50 ml of cold milk. After 30 minutes, dissolve the swollen gelatin while heating (you can put the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds or heat the dishes in a water bath).
It is important to ensure complete dissolution of the crystals and prevent the milk from boiling. Separately, grate the fresh cucumber on a fine grater. Add a spoonful of green puree to the cooled gelatin mass. Apply the composition to your face for half an hour.

Get rid of puffiness under the eyes
The condition of the delicate skin around the eyes at 20 and at 36 years old are radically different phenomena. The main enemies of this delicate area are poor lifestyle, abuse of salt and mechanical stress. Dark circles and bags under the eyes will soon appear as a result of lack of sleep and insufficient rest. Poor nutrition and fast food abuse also have a detrimental effect on the condition of a woman’s face.
The habit of rubbing your eyes, as well as the use of inappropriate makeup removers, especially contributes to the appearance of swelling and bruising in the delicate area.
And finally, by the age of 35, a woman should carefully monitor her salt intake and be sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of clean water per day.
Important! The consumption of pickles and other foods containing salt should be limited. It is not recommended to use them before bedtime.
