A woman in her 30s has a lot going for her. Marriage, babies, family, career. These events may have significant impact on a woman’s health and skin.
Adult acne: Some girls do not quite grow out of it. Acne continues to plague many women. This may be compounded by stress, pregnancy or going off the contraceptive pill.
Expression lines: She may begin to detect a hint of frown lines and crow’s feet appearing. Be it a grimace, a squint, a pout or grin. Years of animation cause the skin to fold repeatedly, giving us the distinctive frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines.
In younger patients, these lines convey an appearance of age, fatigue and frustration.
Over time, the wrinkles become permanently etched into the skin. Early treatment prevents the formation of permanent lines.
Pigmentation: excessive sun exposure and not using sunscreen, leads to pigmentation and coarse pores.

The discipline and care that she applies to taking good care of her skin in her 30s will pay off. Sensible skin care or treatments will be able to fend off the signs of premature skin aging later on in life.

We should also abstain from unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking and bingeing.

If your eyes are naturally deep-set, you will also appear to have more prominent dark circles. Dark circles are also caused by congestion of blood vessels located below the very thin skin under the eyes.
As we age, the skin starts to appear wrinkled and sag, look puffy, aggravating the already obvious dark eye circles.
If you have allergies like eczema or rhinitis, these conditions may also contribute to the problem.
