Collection: Skincare For Ageing Skin

While we can’t completely stop skin ageing, there are steps you can take to slow down the process and maintain healthier, more youthful skin:

Protect from sun damage: Consistent use of sunscreen and SPF 30 + protects against UV rays, which cause premature ageing and wrinkles.

Hydrate and nourish: Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet full of antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats to keep your skin firm and radiant.

Adopt a skincare routine: Use products consistently morning and night with active ingredients like retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to boost collagen production and promote cell renewal.

Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for skin repair and regeneration, helping it look and feel refreshed and rejuvenated. To enhance this natural process, incorporate a night cream formulated with ingredients that support ageing skin, promoting overnight recovery and hydration.

Exercise regularly: Exercise increases blood flow, which helps deliver nutrients to your skin, promoting a healthy glow.

Avoid smoking and limit alcohol: Both can deplete skin nutrients, leading to dryness and loss of elasticity.

To effectively address fine lines and wrinkles, a consistent skincare routine with targeted products is essential. Here’s some product recommendations we have for ageing skin:

1. Cleansers:

• Cleansing Balm: Start with a cleansing balm to gently remove makeup and impurities. This nourishing formula ensures a thorough cleanse while preserving your skin barrier’s integrity.
  
• Enzyme Cleanser: Follow with a treatment cleanser like the Pro-Radiance Enzyme Cleanser, which uses AHAs to gently exfoliate, boost cell renewal, and improve fine lines, leaving your complexion glowing and refreshed.

2. Moisturisers:

SPF 30 and above is essential for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, which can break down collagen and elastin, leading to premature ageing and wrinkles. 

• Time Delay Day Cream with SPF 30: This day cream is a must for ageing skin. Infused with hyaluronic acid and Beta-Glucans, it hydrates, plumps, and promotes cell renewal.
  
• Daily Defence SPF 50: For extra protection, this moisturiser offers broad-spectrum defence against blue light and UV rays. Packed with Niacinamide, it enhances elasticity and helps to prevent premature ageing from environmental stressors.
  
• Restoring Night Cream: Overnight, this night cream supports skin regeneration, aiding the skin’s natural repair process. Powered by Regenacell™, it helps produce ATP for faster repair whilst Beta-Glucans gives deep hydration and nourishment as you sleep.

3. Treatments:

• Retinol Power Balm: This powerful serum stimulates collagen and elastin production, refining skin texture and promoting a healthy glow while you sleep. Infused with pure Retinol and bioidentical peptides like Dermapep™, it will leave you with a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  
• Firming Serum: A treatment serum that instantly smooths lines and wrinkles, providing a sculpted, lifted appearance. With Advanced Lifting Complex™, vegetable collagen, and bioavailable peptides, it boosts collagen production and strengthens the skin barrier over time.
  
• Hyaluronic Elixir: This ultra-hydrating serum attracts and locks in moisture around the clock, improving skin smoothness and reducing visible signs of ageing. Featuring three sizes of hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and glycerin, it delivers deep and surface hydration.
  
• Vitamin C Elixir: For a brighter, more even complexion, the Vitamin C Elixir boosts collagen production, diminishes pigmentation, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Packed with powerful antioxidants, it also helps shield the skin from UV damage.

To effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a combination of ingredients and treatments is essential. Here are some key factors that can help:

1. Retinol: A powerful derivative of Vitamin A, retinol works by promoting the shedding of old, damaged skin cells and encouraging the formation of fresh, healthy new skin cells. It also boosts collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness.
   
2. Peptides: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help to rebuild and repair the skin. They stimulate collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity.
   
3. Hyaluronic Acid: This naturally occurring substance binds moisture, providing deep hydration and plumping the skin from within. It fills fine lines and wrinkles by attracting and holding onto water molecules.
   
4. Vitamin C: Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, protects against environmental damage, boosts collagen, brightens skin, and reduces pigmentation. In its stable, oil-soluble form Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate , found in our Vitamin C Elixir, it deeply penetrates, offering long-lasting protection for a firmer, more even complexion.
   
5. Sunscreen (SPF 30 or above): Protecting your skin from UV rays is one of the most important steps in preventing skin ageing as UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin. Daily use of sunscreen protects the skin and maintains skin's youthful appearance.

While fine lines and wrinkles can't be fully reversed, consistent use of regular professional salon treatments and a dedicated skincare routine can significantly reduce their appearance and help prevent further damage. Here's how:

Home Care Routine: To support the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, a consistent at-home skincare routine is key. Regular use of targeted treatments such as retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid will help promote skin renewal, enhance hydration, and improve elasticity. Alongside a daily routine, be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the skin from further damage.

Professional Treatments:

• Microneedling: This treatment involves tiny needles creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Over time, it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When combined with a strong home care routine, microneedling improves texture and firmness.
  
• Chemical Peels: These treatments use exfoliating acids to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, stimulating collagen production. This results in smoother, brighter skin and a reduction in fine lines, pigmentation, and skin texture. Regular peels, combined with a home routine, will boost skin health and results.
