Anti-ageing skin care: the complete guide
The complete guide to young, firm skin causes, signs, sun protection and routine

Anti-ageing skin care means slowing down the appearance of wrinkles and the loss of elasticity through daily sun protection, hydration and nourishing actives such as rose oil. In this guide you will learn why skin ages, what the first signs are, which factors speed up the process and how to build a complete anti-age routine.


What skin ageing is

Skin ageing is a natural process in which, with the years, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, the skin holds less moisture and gradually loses density and radiance. Part of this process is written into our nature, and another large part depends on lifestyle and the environment. That is exactly why good anti-ageing skin care can slow down the visible signs.

Signs of ageing and at what age

Ageing rarely begins with deep wrinkles. First come fine lines, dry skin and a loss of radiance, usually towards the late twenties and early thirties. With each following decade the changes become more noticeable, which is why preventive care is more effective than correction.

Which factors speed up ageing

External factors are responsible for a large part of premature ageing and they are exactly the ones within our control. These are the main ones that speed up the loss of collagen.

Sun (UV rays)
The leading external factor breaks down collagen and elastin and leads to photoageing.
Smoking
Deprives the skin of oxygen and speeds up the appearance of lines.
Sugar and diet
An excess of sugar makes collagen stiffer through glycation.
Stress and lack of sleep
Interfere with the skin's overnight recovery.
Dehydration
Makes fine lines more visible and the skin look tired.

Myths and facts about anti-ageing care

There are many misconceptions around anti-age care. Here is what matters to know.

Myth: anti-age care starts after 40
Fact: prevention in your twenties and thirties is more effective and easier than correction later on.
Fact: sun protection is the most important step
Daily UV protection delays wrinkles more than any other product.
Myth: only expensive treatments give results
Fact: consistent home care with quality actives also makes a visible difference.
Fact: the eye area needs its own care
The skin there is the thinnest and ages first, which is why an eye cream is part of the routine.

Received this free with my latest subscription order, been using for a few days and I had to write a review. It smells amazing and soaks into my skin so quickly and leaves it feeling silky smooth. Hoping for good results as I've already ordered another bottle ready plus taken the plunge and ordered the face cream too. Will update review after a few weeks of using but impressed and loving it so far!

Even at the sight of the packaging, it's clear that a lot of attention, care, and love have been put into the creation of this product. The cream has an exceptionally smooth texture, and upon application, you can't help but feel its natural origin. The cream smells of "Nature and Life"! And there's nothing better I can provide for my skin. Congratulations on the final result! 🌷
