If there was one wish women share universally…. It is to have a youthful skin even as they age. While internet is full of write-ups on anti-ageing, it can be overwhelming to sift promoted content from genuine. Also any regimen that involves lengthy and complicated procedures at best remains wishful thinking, since women are rarely able to allocate that kind of time.
So here is a simple and well curated skin regimen easy to follow on an everyday basis!
Step 1: Face wash with gentle Cleanser
We all know it is important to wash your face, but most face wash and soaps strip the skin of natural oils and enhances wrinkles. Cleansers on the other hand remove excess oil, dirt and other impurities from the surface and do not allow pores to be clogged, minimizing the chances of a break-out. A mild hydrating cleanser is best suited for this job. Look out for cleansers with hyaluronics and ceramides.
Step 2: Use a Vitamin C Serum
Next, use a vitamin C serum. Vitamin C increases collagen production, evens out skin tones, protects against pollutants and repairs sun damage.
Step 3: Apply an anti-ageing moisturizer
If your skin is lacklustre and dry opt for an anti-ageing moisturizer. There are many brands in the market with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and Pro-retinol. Include the brand that best suits your skin and soon you will find your fine lines looking plumper and your overall complexion looking healthier and glower.
Step 4: Apply an Anti-Aging Eye Cream
Your skin around your eyes need special care as they start to thin and crow’s feet become more noticeable. It is therefore recommended that you use an anti-ageing eye cream. They combat crow’s feet, eye puffiness and dark circles.
Step 5: Use a Broad-Spectrum SPF
Regardless of age or skin type, you’re always at risk of sun damage if you don’t adequately protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. Not only can UV rays cause sunburns, but they can also cause wrinkles, dark spots and even some cancers. There are ample number of SPF available in the market opt for SPF that is quick drying and has anti-oxidant properties.
Step 6: Cleansing and Retinol serum at night
At night, cleans again with the same gentle cleanser and following up with a retinol. According to leading dermatologist retinol boosts collagen in the skin, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizes pigmentation. It would be ideal to use Retinol three times a week but you could always start with once a week routine.
Step 7: Try a Face Mask
Face masks are a good way to incorporate loads of nutrient into your skin in a very short period. You could pick an anti-aging face mask from any of the leading and reputed brands or whip up a home-made mask that has been tried and tested.
Add Laser treatment to the mix for ideal results…
Additionally, if you are feeling enthusiastic enough and wish to add a treatment to the mix, opt for laser as it does not have to be repeated too many times annually and hence is easy to accommodate in your busy schedule. A series of laser a few times a year is good enough to make your skin radiant and youthful. It is these positive effects that make the laser treatment worth the time and effort spent.
