Anti Aging | Anti-Aging Tips That’ll Transform Your Beauty Routine

 

1) Wash with a gentle cleanser

Cleansing is important for removing any skin care product or makeup that you’ve applied during the day, as well as natural skin oils, pollutants, and bacteria that’s accumulated. It also means your skin care products will be able to enter your skin and work more effectively. 

2) Do you need a toner?

Toners were developed in the past to restore the low pH of the skin after washing with a high-pH cleanser. If you’re using a cleanser with a low pH, then a toner is unnecessary. It’s much better to avoid damage in the first place than to undo it later. 

 

3) Use a physical or chemical exfoliant

As you age, your skin slows down replenishing itself. Dead skin cells aren’t replaced by fresh cells as quickly, which means your skin starts to look dull and uneven, and may even crack. Exfoliants are a great way to help get dead cells off your skin.

There are two main categories of exfoliants: physical and chemical. It’s best to avoid harsh physical exfoliants, such as sugar scrubs and cleansers with beads, because it makes your skin more susceptible to sagging.

Chemical exfoliants gradually dissolve the bonds between skin cells and allow them to detach. They’re also suitable for skin of any age! The best exfoliants for maturing skin are those which contain alpha hydroxyl acids such as the ordinary peeling serum and La Roche Posay Effaclar Serum.  

And glycolic acid and lactic acid. You can also find these acids in toners, serums, and at-home peels like the ordinary lactic acid serum and Isis Glyco A Serum.

4) Tap or Pat don’t go rough on your anti-aging products

In general, serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients than a moisturizer. The best anti-aging ingredients to look out for are vitamin A derivatives known as retinoids (retinol, tretinoin, and tazarotene) and vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). As well as increasing collagen in your skin, they also act as antioxidants to soak up the biological and environmental oxidative stress that builds up to cause aging.

5) Always Keep Your Skin Moisturized

With age also comes less sebum. While this means less chance of acne, it also means your skin will dry out more easily. One of the big reasons for fine lines is inadequate skin hydration, but luckily it’s easy to fix with a good moisturizer.

Look for a moisturizer that contains water-binding humectants like glycerine and hyaluronic acid. An occlusive like petrolatum (commercially known as Vaseline, although Aquaphor also works) and mineral oil at night can prevent water evaporating from your skin. But be sure your skin is clean to avoid trapping bacteria!

6) Always apply sunscreen

Sun protection is one surefire way to keep your skin looking as young as possible. The sun is responsible for so much of your skin’s visible signs of aging that sun damage gets its own special category in dermatology: photo-aging.

The sun’s UV rays can cause aging by:

• breaking down collagen and causing abnormalities in elastin, leading to thinner skin and wrinkles
• causing uneven pigmented patches to develop

So use sunscreen, and not just for the beach — use it every day. A daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen can fade age spots, improve skin texture, and flatten out wrinkles by 20 percent in only three months. The researchers suggest that it’s because sunscreen lets the skin take a break from being continually battered by UV rays, so its own powerful regenerative abilities have a chance to work.

7) Protect your skin from trauma

One of the key reasons wrinkles happen is due to damage to your skin, trauma can have larger effects. While there isn’t much evidence on the impact of how you apply your skin care products, studies have found that pressing your face against a pillow as you sleep can cause permanent which is also known as sleep wrinkles.

 

How to choose a wrinkle cream or anti-aging cream ? 

Here’s what to consider when shopping for a product

Active ingredients

First things first. You’ll want to scan your product’s label for beneficial active ingredients. Here are some common ones and what they do:

• Retinol. is the over-the-counter (OTC) form of retinoids, vitamin A derivatives, a popular ingredient mainly used to remedy signs of aging and acne Retinoids help skin cells turn over faster, and they boost the production of collagen and elastin.

• Vitamin C.  is rich in antioxidants and is thought of as one of the top anti-aging ingredients available. It helps skin stay smooth and offers a glowing effect. It also protects skin from free radicals, or unbalanced oxygen molecules that damage skin cells, triggering wrinkles and breaking down collagen.

• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). This term refers to a group of plant and animal-derived acids. There are actually seven different types of AHAs. Commonly used in skin care products. While they’re mostly used to gently exfoliate, they’re also known for other benefits like encouraging collagen and blood flow, brightening skin, preventing acne, reducing the appearance of scars and age spots, and more.

• Peptides. They are amino acids that structure specific proteins the skin needs. For example, collagen has three polypeptide chains, so increasing peptides can encourage skin to make collagen, possibly leading to more youthful, firmer-looking skin.
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). is an antioxidant. It has many benefits, one of them being lowering oxidative damage caused by ultraviolet rays, smoke, and pollution. It can also reduce the depth of some wrinkles.
