How to Achieve Anti-Aging
Anti-aging is primarily achieved through two core approaches: proactive defense and repair/regeneration. Proactive defense involves using antioxidants and photoprotection to prevent cumulative environmental damage to the skin. Repair and regeneration refer to stimulating collagen production, accelerating cell turnover, and reversing visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging.
Effects of Anti-Aging Ingredients
The key effects of anti-aging ingredients are to delay and improve the visible signs of skin aging. Main benefits include:
● Reducing fine lines and wrinkles;
● Improving skin firmness and elasticity;
● Refining skin texture and reducing roughness or sagging;
● Strengthening the skin barrier and boosting hydration;
● Plus, through antioxidant and anti-glycation actions, preventing dullness and photoaging.
Uses of Anti-Aging Ingredients
Anti-aging ingredients are widely used in high-performance skincare. Key products include: serums and ampoules, creams and lotions, eye creams, sunscreens, and intensive treatment masks. Some ingredients are also formulated into ingestible beauty supplements and luxury cosmetics, creating an inside-out synergy for enhanced anti-aging results.
It’s more about your skin’s needs and lifestyle. Many begin incorporating active ingredients like retinoids or antioxidants in their late 20s to 30s, when collagen production naturally slows, and early signs may appear.
Yes, but carefully. Combining complementary ingredients like vitamin C (antioxidant) and sunscreen (UV protection) boosts daytime defense. At night, retinoids can pair with barrier-supporting moisturizers. Avoid overloading activities that may irritate.
