As your skin changes, so should your beauty routine
You might have already noticed the effects of skin ageing, or you might be reading this to find out how to safeguard your beauty future. Like so many changes over time, skin ageing can sneak up on you without you realizing. One minute you were running around plump-skinned and glowing, suddenly those looking-a-little-tired days seem to be the norm. It happens to us all, but the good news is that with a few careful choices in your beauty routine - and some powerful active ingredients – you can correct what you see and slow the hands of time.
Many of these changes are due to the combined effect of chronological ageing- the slowdown of collagen’ and elastin’ production - and lifestyle factors such as stress, long working hours and misbalanced diet. They start to show in your late thirties and early forties. Dark circles under your eyes are probably more frequent and stick around for longer, and you might have noticed a loss of tone, also down to lower collagen levels. You probably also have fine expression lines around your eyes and mouth, especially if you were a smoker, and if you spent your twenties sunbathing, age spots and pigmentation can start to appear.
Combining actives for longer-term results
By now, the products you used when you were younger, may not be enough anymore. Past 40, you need to be concentrating on not only moisturizing and sun protection, but also strengthen your routine by introducing skincare with powerhouse ingredients with proven efficacy. Such good habits pay beauty dividends.
A combined therapy approach, using a combination of powerful anti-ageing actives like peptides, hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C is more likely to create a biological action that goes beyond topical application, for real visible results. Anti-ageing is a long game, so give any changes 8 weeks to work before you judge the results.
