Science and technology have made a lot of progress in recent years. I wish there was some magic trick to stop our biological clock from ticking away and make us use it so that we could remain young and beautiful forever.
Well, the good news is that if you start your anti-aging beauty routine when you are in your late twenties or early thirties, the signs of aging can be prevented to a large extent. A regularly followed beauty regimen with natural skincare products can help retain your youthful looks longer.
Why do you need a skincare routine?
Most of us tend to apply cosmetics or beauty products as and when we find the time, or if some problem crops up. However, it has been proven that a regular diet of essential nutrients and healthy habits can keep aging at bay.
The following steps should be part of your regular facial care routine:
1) Using a natural face cleanser twice a day to wash off surface oil, grime and dirt
2) Deep cleansing or exfoliating to clear up dead skin and debris
3) Using serums or face masks to prevent excessive dryness, and for slowing down aging
4) Moisturizing with water-binding humectants like Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerine
5) Protection from sun damage, environmental stressors, and pollutants
6) Hydrating the under-eye area that is extra sensitive, and prone to showing the first signs of aging
This six-step routine will ensure that the process of aging is delayed, and your skin looks and feels younger for long.
So, though you can’t stop the clock, you can do your best to prevent the visible signs of aging.
What skincare products do I actually need?
Well, besides the basic products like cleansers and moisturizers, you need some specialized solutions like anti-aging serums and under-eye creams.
Let’s find out which products you need to include in your anti-aging facial care routine.
A natural face cleanser is the most basic of all requirements.
Use a cleanser with Calendula and Glycerin to clean and refresh your face. This soothing, efficacious foaming cleanser works wonders on normal and oily skin types. Glycerine helps retain moisture and provide softness.
Use an anti-aging face serum to tackle the onset of wrinkles and fine lines.
Vitamin C is an excellent agent for improving skin texture and radiance, and for keeping wrinkles away. The best Vitamin C serum would be one that has pure Vitamin C, Vitamin Cg (a Vitamin C derivative), and Hyaluronic Acid as well, to sustain moisture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Improve your skin anti-aging cream
A potent anti-aging cream is one that has Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid and Jasmonic Acid, along with Beech tree extract. Not only does it improve your skin’s defense against fine lines and wrinkles, this facial cream also improves tone, texture, and elasticity. Your face looks more even-toned and plumped up with essential moisture.
With time, our facial skin loses its natural elasticity and tends to sag.
Get some serious night-time pampering with a firming face mask that has Hibiscus seed extract and sustainably sourced Ginger Leaf. This anti-aging face mask helps in smoothing and firming, while visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines over time. With regular usage, you will notice the difference in your looks.
The first signs of aging are visible in the under-eye region of your face
In the form of fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles. Ensure you protect and nourish this area with the best eye cream, infused with Butcher’s Broom Extract, and Lavender and Evening Primrose oils. This restorative eye cream removes dark circles and under-eye puffiness, to leave your eyes feeling replenished.
Facial care routine is a must-do
Your anti-aging facial care routine must include a face oil for dry skin that has that magic nutrient – Squalane. This highly-refined botanical lipid, derived from olives, has an exceptional affinity to our skin. It gets absorbed easily, and helps keep it soft, supple, and moisturized. Before you retire at night, use a night-time facial oil with Squalane, that is also enriched with Lavender and Evening Primrose oils.
