The anti-aging anxiety is realโ€”according to a report published last month by Zion Market Research, the global market for age โ€œreversalโ€ products will hit $216 billion in 2021. (Currently, itโ€™s sized at about half that.) Humans have taken to anti-aging like moths to Fountain of Youths with added flame features, and the widely held belief is that men of a certain age should be incorporating products into their routines that treat signs of aging. But what if youโ€™re in your 20s, free from the veil of acne that shrouded your teens, yet oblivious to the impending forehead lines of your 30s? Should aging be a concern?

โ€œYes,โ€ emphatically says aesthetician Jordana Mattioli. โ€œWhat you doโ€”or donโ€™t doโ€”in your 20s will drastically impact the skin you have later on. โ€œJordana treats tons of dudes, some of whom are aging as we speak, from the comfort of a plush office at Manhattanโ€™s Complete Skin MD. But according to her, your focus should be more on a simple, sustainable, and comprehensive skincare routine, instead of buying into obscure and expensive miracle products. Donโ€™t forget that โ€œanti-agingโ€ is a piece of marketing copyโ€”despite clinical trials and excited salespeople, there is no skincare product on the market that will stop or erase wrinkles. A well-armed skincare routine is your best defense.
