As a busy real estate agent, did you know your oily skin needs anti-aging skincare too?
73% of millennials agreed that stress and mood were their top healthy aging concerns.
Life in real estate can be stressful and hectic.
In this post, we’ll look at how oily skin ages and what you can do to kick start your anti-aging efforts.
Appearance influences closed deals
You want to appear professional, energetic and sharp when meeting with clients.
If you neglect anti-aging habits in your 30s and 40s. Then you’ll want to use more makeup to cover up your skin.
Makeup creases, and applying too much can make you look unprofessional.
Caring for your skin can help avoid this.
There’s a common misunderstanding that oily skin ‘ages better’ than other skin types, showing less fine lines and wrinkles.
Well, this isn’t necessarily the case. Oily skin shows a different type of aging. Here’s what aging looks like on oily skin:
- Enlarged pores
- Rougher texture
- Loss of firmness/ Sagging
- Lighter or darker patches of skin
While oily skin is thicker and produces more oil, you might tend to have wrinkles on the lower half of your face rather than on your forehead.
A study found that no matter your skin type, crow’s feet appear anyway.
Aging is primarily influenced by lifestyle.
Lifestyle changes to get you started
As a realtor, long hours, being outdoors and stressful days are a part of the job.
While products are important to skin health, lifestyle changes can be a big contributor to your anti-aging skincare.
Unhealthy patterns will manifest on your skin in one form or another, so now is a good time to assess your habits and prioritize your health in certain areas.
1. Get adequate sleep
Sleeping less than 6 hours a night? This could be the reason for the puffiness around your eyes, dull complexion, and slower healing.
2. Reduce stress where possible
Chronic stress can cause inflammation, keep your cortisol levels elevated, which breaks down collagen and damages cells.
3. Eat healthy
A well-balanced diet rich in whole foods, antioxidants, and fiber support skin health. A diet high in ultra-processed foods does not. Alcohol dehydrates skin and may worsen other skin issues.

Humility as you care for your appearance
Your appearance matters. We get that, but it’s also important to not be proud or vain.
Pride is deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements or qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
Vanity is a more advanced version of pride.
This can be dangerous and detrimental to any progress you’ve made in your appearance and career.
Jesus Christ is the greatest example of humility.
In Matthew 23:5-12, Jesus talks about authority figures who love to be seen by others. He clearly tells us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who are humble will be exalted.
This applies not only to those with authority but to everyone.
So, as you care for yourself, do it as a way to care for your temple (your body), being a good steward over what God gave you.
