Ingredients

Ingredients are an essential component to look for when determining which cream is best suited to your skin. Some key ingredients to look out for when looking for results based anti-ageing creams are:

Retinols
- Summary: Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A that help stimulate collagen production, promote cell turnover, and improve skin texture and tone.
- Suitable for: Retinoids are effective for most skin types, but individuals with sensitive skin may need to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase usage.
Creatine
- Summary: Creatine is an amino acid derivative that helps energise skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and improving skin vitality and firmness.
- Suitable for: All skin types, especially those concerned with improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Co-Enzyme Q10
- Summary: Co-Enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and improve skin texture and tone.
- Suitable for: All skin types, particularly beneficial for mature skin or those seeking to reduce the visible signs of ageing.
Vitamin C
- Summary: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals, brighten the skin, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
- Suitable for: Vitamin C is generally suitable for all skin types, but individuals with sensitive skin may want to patch test first, as higher concentrations can sometimes cause irritation.
Niacinamide
- Summary: Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, regulate oil production, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Suitable for: Niacinamide is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Bakuchiol

Tips & Tricks to Reduce Signs of Ageing

While ageing is a normal and inevitable part of life, there are many different ways in which a person can protect or reduce signs from showing. Some of these methods include:

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, wear protective clothing, such as hats and sunglasses, and seek shade when outdoors to prevent UV damage and premature ageing.

Implement a Skincare Routine

Establish a regular skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, and using anti-ageing products containing ingredients like retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking accelerates skin ageing by damaging collagen and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Quitting smoking can help slow down the ageing process and improve overall skin health.

Reduce Drinking

Excessive alcohol consumption can dehydrate the skin, impair collagen production, and cause inflammation, leading to premature ageing. Limiting alcohol intake can help maintain youthful-looking skin.

Manage Stress

Chronic stress can contribute to premature ageing by increasing cortisol levels, which can break down collagen and elastin fibers. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to promote skin health.
