A Step By Step Guide To Your Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine

The world of anti-ageing is vast, and despite signs of ageing being inevitable as we get older, it’s no line that all we want to know is what we should be using to help us age well and to slow down the process of ageing. That’s why we’ve put together the ultimate step-by-step routine for mature skin. 

 

Before we get into the routine, let’s quickly talk about what it is the causes our skin to form fine lines and wrinkles.

What Causes Skin Ageing?

 

Skin ageing is a natural process that accelerates over time, due to the skin cells production slowing down. This is what causes a decline in the skin’s ability to repair, renew and rejuvenate. Also known as intrinsic ageing. 

 

This can be sped up due to external factors such as:

 

-       Smoking

-       Pollution

-       UV Exposure

-       Stress

-       Diet

-       Physical Activity

4. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic is an essential for skin hydration, which is why we are then going to use the SkinCeuticals H. A Intensifier Serum, to help restore plumpness, firmness and smoothness in the skin.

8. SPF

This is a step we should NEVER forget! UV impact is one of the biggest culprits of photo-ageing in the skin, which is why you should apply the SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF50+ Sunscreen, which is a high UVA/UVB broad-spectrum moisturising sunscreen.
