Anti-Aging

Aging is a natural part of life and with time, we all get visible lines on our face.

It is natural for our face to lose some of its youthful fullness. We notice our skin becoming thinner and drier. Our genes largely control when these changes occur. However, our environment and lifestyle choices can cause our skin to age prematurely.

Skin Aging FAQs

While there’s no right or wrong time to begin using anti-aging creams to help maintain the appearance of a youthful, radiant complexion, it may be beneficial to start giving your skin extra nourishment at the first signs of wrinkles.

For many people, this may occur in their 20s or 30s. Treating lines and wrinkles before they become deeply set may help to prolong the smooth appearance of your skin’s texture.

Free radicals are chemically-reactive substances generated by the body, especially when it is exposed to UV radiation. These reactive molecules can cause cell damage and premature aging.

We have enzymes and antioxidants to help soak up some of the damage, which leaves more of our cell undamaged and therefore slows down the ageing effect of free radicals.

Using skincare products with antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, resveratrol, caffeine can help neutralise free radicals and prevent premature aging.
