Ageing


Wrinkles and lines, altered pigmentation, loss of skin tone… we all associate these changes with skin aging. Skin ageing starts at around 30 years of age and after that we usually lose 2% of collagen per year.

As part of the natural ageing process, the body’s wear and repair cycle begins to slow down, the skin becomes less efficient at dealing with changes caused by the environment, such as exposure to harmful UV rays. Collagen and elastin which help keep our skin looking plump and youthful begin to break down and the skin appears looser and more prone to forming lines and wrinkles. Cell turnover slows, the production of new skins cells decrease and the dead cells don’t shed as quickly.

How fast your skin ages depends on a variety of factors including lifestyle, stress and environment. with UV and smoking being the top two causes of accelerated skin ageing

What You Can Do
  • Moisturise & wear UVA/UVB sun protection, of at least factor 30, every day regardless of the weather.
  • Gentle exfoliation to encourage cell turnover
  • Drinking water and eating a healthy diet
  • Include serums in your skincare routine, they are packed with powerful ingredients and work deeper in the skin
  • Key ingredients to look for:
  • Vit C a superior antioxidant (when in stable form)
  • Vit A (retinol/retinoid) regulates cell turnover, for wrinkle reduction & improving skin texture & colour
  • Peptides (amino acids), send signals to cells in the skin to carry out tasks i.e., build collagen
