Decoding the Hunt for Anti-Ageing Skin Products
The biggest issue of aging skin is dryness. As we grow old, our skin tends to get less plump, less supple due to less hydration and moisturization. The glands responsible for natural oiling and moisturizing tend to become less efficient, thus, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Moisturizing alone can substantially improve your skin. It is important to choose a moisturizer based on your skin type. Also, learn about the ingredients and composition of your moisturizer.
Here is a list of a few of the commonly found ingredients:
➔ Retinol (or vitamin A-based compounds), vitamin C, and coenzyme 10 to treat sun-damage and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
➔ Peptides for improving skin texture and reduce wrinkling.
➔ AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids such as citric, lactic, and glycolic acid) to improve skin’s absorbency, and reduce pigmentation.
➔ Tea and grape seed extracts boost collagen production along with offering anti-inflammatory properties.
➔ Niacinamide to improve the elasticity of the skin.
Before moving on to the tips, as a consumer, you must understand that it is impossible to achieve the look of a facelift from OTC creams and lotions. You must have realistic expectations. With that in mind, here are a few tips to guide your anti-aging regime purchase.
➢ Invest in good quality, broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin against any further sun damage.
➢ Select a product based on your skin type. For instance, if your skin is dry, go for a heavy cream-based composition. If your skin is oily, choose a lightweight gel-based formulation.
➢ Focus on treating single therapeutic skincare for damaged skin concerns at once rather than using multiple products at once to treat different issues. Multiple products from different brands can cause chemical disbalance in your skin and create new problems.
➢ Read the label and look for terms such as “hypoallergenic”, and “non-comedogenic”. These labels that the product will cause little to no side effect. Also, continue long-term usage from a single brand in order to see real results. Do not switch brands fast.
