5 Skincare Products You Need To Try In Your 20s To Look Good In Your 30s, 40s & 50s!

The adults always say that the primetime of our life happens when we are in our 20s. But did you know that while you are out having fun with your girlfriends partying or pigging out, your body is also changing rapidly?

According to research done by NCBI in 2012, our skin cell turnover decreases by as much as 28% in our 20s. Besides this, our collagen production and metabolism slow down a great deal as well! Think your skin is still healthy, smooth and 'bouncy' without requiring much care? Think again!

If you are finally ready to tackle your dark spots, peeling skin and big ugly pores, check out these five products we swear by that can help you look good in your 30s, 40s and 50s!

#1 CNP Laboratory's Hydro Cera Essential Toner 150ml (S$49.90)

First up, we have CNP Laboratory's Hydro Cera Essential Toner. 

A face toner is probably one of the most important products a lady must have! It helps to remove excess dirt or dead skin cells, oil and can correct/balance the pH of your skin. Best part? It also helps in controlling your acne!

What we love about this product:

Its essence-like texture has a smooth application that allows seamless absorption, leaving a dewy finish. The three types of hyaluronic acids it contains is also the perfect remedy for dry, rough skin.

Try a few pumps of this toner and watch as it does the magic! 

How to use:

After cleansing, pump directly on the hand and apply to face, gently pat till the product is fully absorbed.

Another product to look out for in CNP Laboratory's all-new Hydro Cera series is the Deep Serum that is here to help your skin stay moisturised and bouncy.

If you find your face flaking up halfway through the day, your skin is probably screaming for help. Give it the help it needs with the Deep Serum, a product that can lock in all the moisture you need for the entire day!

What we love about the product:

Thanks to its rich mineral and hyaluronic acids contents, the Deep Serum is able to maintain moisture for all skin types. If your job requires you to be out in the hot sun or freeze in the cold, this product can help your face withstand it all. The combination of natural essential oils such as lavender and macadamia seeds is also here to help us develop a silky smooth complexion!

How to use:

After using your toner, dispense a sufficient amount and apply evenly to skin and gently massage till the products are fully absorbed.

#3 CNP Laboratory's Hydro Cera Intense Cream ($69.90)

As part of their all-new Hydro Cera series, the Intense Cream is of course here to help hydrate our skin and retain moisture - a big component to prevent our skin from drying up!

A good moisturiser can help our skin retain moisture in the outermost layer of our skin, acting as a temporary barrier against harmful elements.

What we love about this product:

Instead of just protecting the outermost layer of our skin, its rich mineral contents (seven types of mineral!) enable dual barrier strengthening, giving extra protection to our skin lipids. If you find your skin looking dull, rough or worn out, CNP Laboratory's Hydro Cera Intense Cream will save your life!

How to use:

After using serum, scoop a sufficient amount and apply evenly to the skin. Gently massage till the product is fully absorbed. Use it after your nighttime skincare routine and let it work its magic while you sleep.

#4 CNP Laboratory's Mild Calming Sun Lotion 50ml ($49.90)

Sunscreen is literally one of the most underrated products of all time and as ladies who love our skin, we cannot stress how important it is to pack on the sunscreen!

The sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays come in two forms - UVA and UVB. While UVB typically gives you sunburns, UVA is the mastermind behind discolourations, dark spots, wrinkles and sagging skin.

Mark our words. Wear sunscreen every time you step out of your house. Be it cloudy or rainy days, as long as you are out, apply that sunscreen if you do not want your skin to suffer! When you are well-protected with the sunscreen, you will find your face glowing. But if you neglect this step, you face the consequences! *cues dramatic music*

CNP Laboratory's Mild Calming Sun Lotion has SPF 50+ protection and is made up of plant extracts such as white water lily flower, bergamot fruit oil and mandarin peel oil that can soothe our skin in the most natural way.

What we love about this product:

It is light on the skin but packs a punch in terms of benefits. It has also been dermatologically tested, making it suitable for all skin types include ladies with sensitive skin. 

How to use:

Apply evenly on places that are exposed to UV rays such as face and neck.

#5 CNP Laboratory's Derma Sun Shield Stick 14g ($34.90)

If you are the kind who's always walking around with an umbrella because you want to avoid the harmful UV rays from the sun, you must check out CNP Laboratory's Derma Shield Sun Stick! Its fun-sized packaging also makes it convenient to bring around, proving that it is the only shield you need!

What we love about this product:

It contains calamine powder without any colourants which means it can soothe any irritated skin in seconds. The best part is that it has a grease-free and powdery finish that feels extremely light on the skin we would not mind using it over and over again!

How to use:

Glide on the product evenly on the skin that is exposed to UV rays such as face and neck.
