What Is the Right Age To Start Using Anti-Ageing Products?
ASAP. Time waits for no one, and our skin has a one-way ticket to wrinkle town. The more trips you complete around the sun, the faster signs of ageing start to appear. Although we cannot turn back the hands of time, a good anti-ageing skincare routine can make you look like you just hit the pause button on ageing.
If you think the skin issues stop after you have gone through the awkward puberty stage, think again. Not to burst your bubble, but it all goes downhill from there. Studies suggest that upon entering your twenties, a flurry of body, skin and holistic health issues emerge. Suddenly, the youthful glow dims because of dark undereye circles and pesky sunspots. Because of this fact, taking care of yourself is not leisure anymore; it becomes a necessity.
Whether or not those age spots, fine lines and dark circles pop up, it is essential to edit your routine depending on your body’s needs.
The Skin Ageing Process
There are two different processes of skin ageing. Chronological ageing (intrinsic) and photoageing (extrinsic). The former is primarily determined by the natural ageing process of the skin as an organ as well as genetic factors. In chronological ageing, moisture is no longer retained as much and the skin’s ability to feel fight infection, sensations, and regulate body temperature deteriorates.
Photoageing, on the other hand, is mainly due to solar UV exposure. Exposure to the sun causes most of the skin changes that are not normally part of ageing as the UV light damages the elastin or the skin fibres. This results in sagging and stretching.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, here are some visible signs of skin ageing you can look out for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging and hanging loosely
- Thinning skin
- Bruising easily
- Fragile and sensitives skin
- Rough, dry, or itchy skin
Factoring in the two processes of ageing, you’ll get an idea why the earlier you start protecting your skin, the better it will be in preventing visible signs of ageing.
Head to Toe
Ageing gracefully means full-body beauty treatments and not just the face. Ageing reflects more noticeably in other areas, so firstly focus on these. The eyes tell a lot more about your stress and tiredness than any other part of the body. To target dull and tired peepers, make sure you have an effective eye treatment, like the trusty Mayerling Eye Cream, to suck all the lifelessness out of your eye area. The mix of ingredients works together to tighten and smoothen texture and lighten the darkness. Trade the wrinkles for a twinkle in your eye!
Skin and beauty treatments like microdermabrasion can speed up cell regeneration and eradicate any signs of premature ageing. Body massages can seem like a relaxation treatment, but they can also contribute to anti-ageing anti-stress by improving blood circulation, mainly if the procedure includes reflexology and aromatherapy.
Day to Night
Time will come when the occasional pamper sessions demands to become regular. It may seem too much for your pockets to take, but luckily, you can always do it by yourself! Amidst the regular salon facials and bikini waxing, neutral bay babes should also consider taking their pamper packages home so they can work overtime.
If you cannot afford, time-wise and money-wise, to visit your beauty salon all too often, purchase a De-Ageing Starter Kit so you have everything you need to slow down ageing at the comfort of your bathroom! Set up space where you treat as the battleground against you and father time. Your arsenal of anti-ageing skincare products will be your secret weapon!
Reality Strikes
Ageing is a fact of life; looking your age is not! A beauty specialist can be the best buddy you run to when things (particularly the skin) get rough. Everyone ages differently, and some products and treatments might not work the same for everybody. But, having an expert assess and recommend products, especially for your skin type and concern, makes it more personal and practical.
Through the years, answering the question “How old are you?” can be intimidating. Beat the stigma and keep them guessing with a reliable beautician, the proper routine, and the best anti-ageing products.
