Our skin tones are still uneven, our large pores are visible, and not to mention we can’t master the art of minimizing the signs if ageinf on our appereances. If only we have an instant solution for all this problem? However, with advanced skin technology, getting ahead of the ageing process is easier than ever.

How To Spot Ageing Skin Problem?

Before we begin, I would like to point out that all face structures and shapes are beautiful. You’re beautiful just the way you are. But for some of us, an unwanted ‘’appearance’’ or flaws can get a little bit annoying to deal with—or annoying to look at—a problem where you wish a simple genie solution might be the answer to them all. However, before you go about booking a facial treatment that worth up to thousands of dollars, you will first need to identify the ageing problems on your skin. To get a clearer picture which spa treatment or products available in the market that suits your current skin concern. Below are few things that you’ll need to look out for.

Tiny, Fine Lines

Realising how makeup is settling into the fine lines and cracking a little easier? That is a sure sign of ageing. Dry skin can contribute to the spread of fine lines throughout the face. If you are used to over powdering your face, try using a heavy duty moisturiser that can soften and smooth the appearance of fine lines. Changing the formula of your foundation to one that has a more dewy finish can help mask those fine lines easier.

Puffy Eyes

Another common thing that twenty somethings notice is puffier eyes in the morning. Partying all night and waking up with little sleep does nothing for a teenager, but continuing with this lifestyle in your late twenties can severely affect your overall appearance. Thinning skin is the main reason why this occurs. As your skin thins with age, things such as dark circles or eye bags show through more clearly.

Crow’s Feet

Since not smiling or blinking is not an option, wear and tear of the skin usually occurs in the most sensitive parts of the face first. The eye area is notoriously thin and fragile. Hence, one of the first signs of ageing tends to be crow’s feet.

Dull and Dry Skin

The most common complaint for the late twenty something woman is a duller, drier complexion. To counter this, many try to cake on the makeup and foundation. However, this will only exacerbate the problem in the long run as clogged pores is a sure sign for unhealthy skin. Dull skin is often caused by:

  • Lack of anti-pollution skincare
  • Poor moisturising
  • Lack of regular exfoliation
  • Increased stress affecting skin repair
  • Lack of regular sleep
  • Smoking
  • Cakey Makeup
  • Lack of double cleansing
  • Poor diet or lifestyle

These factors can all contribute to poor skin health affecting your overall complexion. This can be a hard problem to fix, however, getting ahead of it can see long lasting effects.

What Ingredients To Look Out For Ageing Skin?

Ageing can be a tricky skincare issue and products out there seem to be laden with ingredients that are not just hard to pronounce but impossible to understand. The easy way to understand this is to rely on this tri-factor:

Try Skin Barriers Creams

Barrier creams are basically a product used to aid not only the surface of your skin, but the inner layer of your skin. Known as the barrier. They were made to maintain health, elastin and robustness inside of your skin and fight any bad elements away from your skin. They work to protect the physical and inner barrier from dehydration, ageing skin and roughness.

Peptides

These promote collagen growth which is the one thing lacking in ageing skin. Collagen helps to repair skin cells and promotes plumper and youthful skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

This anti-ageing elixir is a vital ingredient in any anti-ageing product in the market. This acid is the perfect barrier for loss of hydration which is the number one reason why skin starts to age int he first place!

Some Natural Ingredients

Pumping your skin full of chemicals is not the ideal way to promote healthy, long-lasting skin health. A mix of natural ingredients work with existing skin nutrients to pump up the youth process and combat early signs of ageing.
