What is ageing skin?

Before we dive into the ultimate Medik8 skincare routine for ageing skin, it's important to understand the changes that occur in our skin as we age. As we get older, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, two proteins that help keep our skin firm and elastic. This natural degradation of these key pillars is what leads to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Oh, and it doesn't stop there...

Our skin's natural oil production decreases, which can lead to dryness, flakiness and dullness. Yep, there's more...

Finally, our skin's natural exfoliation process slows down, leading to a build-up of dead skin cells and a dull, tired-looking complexion. And soon follows skin dehydration. We're here to find a perfect routine that will allow you to age well and glow!

Benefits of Using Medik8 Skincare for Ageing Skin

Across the range, Medik8 antioxidant serums, Medik8 corrective serums and Medik8 moisturisers are specifically designed to address the telltale signs of ageing and promote a more youthful complexion. Medik8 uses only the highest quality, scientifically proven ingredients in their formulations, including Vitamin C, Retinol, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients work together to promote collagen production, increase skin elasticity, and optimally hydrate the skin.

Plus, Medik8 products are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, so if you're anything like me and suffer from skin sensitivity, these products are suitable for you too!
