WHAT IS AN ANTI-AGEING CREAM/SERUM?
Anti-ageing products are serums and creams that have been specially and clinically formulated to combat the various signs of anti-ageing. These products help the skin in retaining moisture, firmness, and elasticity, thus preventing it from wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation and other signs of ageing.

Even though you can’t pause the wheel of time, with the right vitamins, serums and creams, you can definitely prevent and reverse the cruel ravages of time on your skin. 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTI-AGEING PRODUCTS
Retinoids – Vitamin A compounds that help the skin repair sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation.

  • Ascorbic acid – Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals preventing all signs of ageing and also adds radiance to the skin. 
  • Hydroxy acids – Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) include glycolic, citric and lactic acid. They are used to remove dead skin cells (exfoliate). Using an AHA product regularly prepares your skin to better absorb other products and stimulates the growth of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin.
  • Peptides – These improve skin texture by stimulating collagen production in the skin
  • Antioxidants – These help in nourishing the skin and helps combat environmental factors like pollution, sun damage and many more
  • Anti-inflammatories — Reduces damage from the sun and other trauma
  • Niacinamide – Another potent antioxidant, this substance is related to vitamin B-3 (niacin). It helps reduce water loss in the skin and improve skin elasticity.

  • RIGHT TIME TO INCORPORATE ANTI-AGEING PRODUCTS INTO YOUR SKINCARE?
  • Anti-Ageing products are not some medicines that you should only incorporate when you are diagnosed with a disease. It is important to take care of your skin from an early stage and follow preventive measures. When it comes to taking care of our skin, most dermatologists believe that 25 is the right time to start using anti-ageing products or at least have a proper skincare regimen. And, if not 25, they should be wholly be incorporated in the early 30s to delay the signs of ageing as much as possible.

HOW TO INTRODUCE ANTI-AGEING PRODUCTS INTO YOUR ROUTINE?
You can begin introducing the products twice a week and then can slowly build them into an everyday routine. Anti-ageing products yield the best results when applied before bedtime at night and it is advised to include them in the night routine only. Before applying serum/cream, remove every bit of makeup and wash your face thoroughly. Then after patting dry, layer it with a good toner, followed by your anti-ageing cream applied in an upward motion and seal it in with a hydrating moisturizer. Also, don’t forget to include a good sunscreen the next morning to get the best results. 
So, this was all about anti-ageing skincare.  Stay tuned for more skincare knowledge and tips!
