Skincare is never one size fits all. Our skin is constantly changing for a myriad of reasons; whether it's seasonal changes, diet changes, altitude changes, hormone changes. But in what ways do our skincare needs change as we age?
For example, maybe your oily skin was prone to pesky breakouts as a teen (hello, hormones) but in your 20s, you find that your skin is suddenly all dried out and flaky.

In general for males and females, as we age, our hormones fluctuate in a way that effects our skin. When you think of aging skin the first thing that comes to mind might be loss of elasticity and collagen, but there's actually much more than that. For females especially, the intricacies of our hormones change drastically in each decade of our lives.
Here is an easy guide on skincare in your 20s to help you prioritize what your skin might need during this exciting chapter of your life.
Skincare in Your 20s
Protection and prevention are key when you’re in your 20s. Even though your skin is resilient and youthful during your 20s, an organic skincare routine is important to establish for long-term skin and body health.
Priorities: Prevention + Balance
- What’s Happening: Cell turnover is still high, collagen and elasticity are strong. Lifestyle, hormones, and sun exposure start laying the groundwork for future damage.
Common Concerns: Occasional breakouts, post-acne marks, uneven tone, early dehydration (from late nights, alcohol etc), first/early fine lines from squinting and the sun.
Needs
- Breakout control (natural retinol) to kick pesky acne + acne-marks.
Antioxidants (like Vitamin C) to defend against pollution and oxidative stress
Lightweight hydration to maintain barrier health without congestion
Use a Toning Mist
Non-toxic toners help retain water in your skin, keeping it dewy and breakout-free. Make sure your toner is free of drying alcohol or witch hazel, so you are not stripping your skin of the necessary oils it needs to keep it youthful for years to come. Over-dehydrated skin can lead to irritation (e.g. acne, flakiness, redness). Plus, a natural toner can help reset your skin's Ph level, keeping it balanced and blemish free!
Heal Hormonal Breakouts
This powerful beauty oil is so effective thanks to it's mixture of Blue Tansy AND Bakuchiol.
Bokuchiol, is a powerful natural retinol that you may recognize by name, however most products on the market only contain 0.5% of Bakuchiol, making them less effective. Savor Beauty's Blue Tansy Serum contains 2% Bakuchiol. The larger percentage of this high quality, natural retinol is why you'll see results so quickly. Add in the Blue Tansy, and the serum becomes truly magical. Blue Tansy soothes and moisturizes the skin, calming redness and inflammation. This ensures that the natural retinol is safe and gentle for sensitive, hormonal skin. You're sure to see results fast, even overnight.
Boost Your Antioxidants
Lightweight hydration and antioxidants are essential to keep skin bright and moisturized without feeling weighed down. Packed with zinc, antioxidants, and omega-rich botanicals, this serum is perfect for the lightweight glow that you need in your 20s. Visibly fade dark spots, calm blemishes, and deeply hydrate without clogging pores. Defend against pollution and oxidative stress to prevent signs of premature aging. The Pumpkin Seed Serum can be used on it's own or added to a face cream during cold months when you need extra moisture.
