HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR AGING SKIN

As we age, our skin goes through a lot of changes. Fortunately, you can use a professional anti-aging skincare routine to slow down the natural aging process and keep your skin looking healthy and youthful.

HOW DOES SKIN CHANGE AS YOU GROW OLDER?

The visible signs of aging on the skin are obvious, but what's really happening under the surface?

COMMON AGING SKIN SYMPTOMS

The body's natural production of essential proteins and oils starts to slow around your mid-20s and decreases with time. This causes the following changes to the skin:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Loss of elasticity
• Dryness and dehydration

FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO AGING SKIN

Age isn't the only factor that influences the skin. Other common factors that contribute to skin aging are:

• Intrinsic factors (genetics, hormones)
• Extrinsic factors (sun exposure, lifestyle, environmental pollutants)
• Personal habits (smoking, diet, lack of exercise)
  
  

HOW TO CRAFT AN EFFECTIVE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE

No matter what age you are, there is always time to start taking care of your skin. Here are some general guidelines for creating an effective anti-aging skincare routine:

CLEANSE

Start by using a gentle cleanser that won't strip away your skin's natural oils. For aging skin specifically, use a non-drying and gentle cleanser like our Foaming Cleanser with Amino Acids with warm (not hot) water.

TREAT

Incorporate a serum that targets aging to improve your skin function. Stimulate cell growth, increase collagen production and lift your skin using plant stem cells in our Firming Serum with Phyto-Stem Cells.

BALANCE

Moisturizing is essential in any skincare routine, but it becomes even more crucial as we age. A moisturizer like our Age Delay Cream stimulates and hydrates the skin with peptides.

PROTECT

Sun exposure is the leading cause of aging skin, so use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. For extra skincare benefits such as rich antioxidants and powerful moisturizing, apply our Hydrating Protection Gel With SPF 15.

USE ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS

When shopping for anti-aging skincare products, look for these key ingredients:

• Retinoids: Products like our Retinol Rejuvenation Serum stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Vitamin C: It brightens your skin tone and improves overall texture.
• Peptides: Peptides stimulate the production of essential proteins in the skin, resulting in a smoother and firmer appearance.

APPLY SPECIALIZED CARE FOR SENSITIVE AREAS

Sensitive skin around the eyes and neck requires specialized care. Use an eye cream like our Firming Eye Cream to reduce fine lines and puffiness.

TIPS TO CONTINUE TAKING CARE OF YOUR SKIN

Aging happens to everyone, but you can slow the visible effects with a proper anti-aging skincare routine and healthy habits. Here are some additional tips to keep your skin looking and feeling young:

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
• Get enough sleep to allow your body to repair itself overnight.
• Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients.
• Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
• Manage stress levels through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.
