If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you’ve started to notice the first signs of fine lines and wrinkles or maybe you’ve decided to finally take your anti-ageing skincare routine seriously. Whatever the reason, although we’re on the side of prevention and looking after your skin from a young age, all the advancements in skincare technology means it’s never too late to make a change. And the best place to start is with this list of our favourite anti-ageing products on the market today.
Your Skin’s Ageing Process
Before we get stuck in, here’s a quick recap on what happens to your skin as you age. Aka, get ready for a science lesson! Our skin is made up of collagen and elastin, which are the two main structural components of the skin. Collagen gives skin its plumpness, while elastin keeps skin bouncy. As we get older, our body produces less and less of both of those things, which causes your skin to lose volume and start to wrinkle and sag. Add to that the fact that as we age, dark spots are more likely to pop up and skin becomes duller. While ageing is a fact of life, that doesn’t mean we can’t give our skin the best chance of keeping signs of ageing at bay.
Ahead, the 20 anti-ageing products we can’t stop recommending:
Formulated with three lipid components (ceramides to keep the skin’s building blocks together, cholesterol to improve skin elasticity, and fatty acids to maintain balance within the moisture barrier), this dreamy cream enhances skin moisture and barrier function, helping to give the skin a brighter and more radiant appearance.
This value pack of rejuvenating skincare essentials from NeoStrata is a one-stop shop to help reverse visible signs of ageing on your face, neck and décolleté.
This super serum is powered by a combination of high-strength lipid-soluble vitamin C (15 percent, to be exact) and stabilising ferulic acid esther to prevent signs of ageing and combat inflammation.
