When Should I Start Using Anti Aging Products?

Starting to notice fine lines and dark spots? Are crow's feet suddenly appearing around your eyes? When is the right time to start using anti-aging products in your daily beauty routine? We have the inside scoop on how you can stay gorgeous and structure your skincare regimen for life.

Prevention Comes First

For anti-aging purposes, it is always easier to prevent rather than reverse. The sooner you start assessing your skin concerns and addressing them, the healthier your skin will be in the long run.

The best way to prevent aging is by following a daily skincare regimen at every age. Your beauty routine should include:

Cleansing
Toning
A serum
A moisturizer
Daily sun protection

The sun can cause skin damage and premature aging, so it's important to protect yourself. You should also schedule monthly facial treatments to address deeper skin concerns. Regular facials allow a professional to focus on your areas of concern, provide a deep and thorough cleanse, utilize professional products and treatment masks, and recommend appropriate products as your skin changes. These facials and time with your skincare professional will help guide how to take care of your skin through each stage of your life.

When Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Products?

It may be a little sooner than you expected: you should start your effort in your late twenties, but you can always start sooner. Just because you are starting the anti-aging process at this age doesn't mean you will be using the same products as your grandmother. There are particular products that will help you address the aging process in the most effective way for your age group.

In Your 20s: Exfoliate and Hydrate

In your 20s, your skin could still be a bit on the oily side. Using an exfoliating mask 2-3 times a week with cucumber oil, which has proteolytic enzymes, will help refine the skin and keep pores clean and clear. The One Minute Mask is ideal for getting the job done. The mask has tiny spheres of rice bran wax and lactic acid that provide exfoliation, while oil-controlling seaweed, astringent lemongrass, fresh cooling cucumber, and blemish-fighting lily of the valley leave skin clean, clear, smooth, and balanced.

A light daily moisturizer to hydrate, protect, and start providing active anti-aging ingredients like thiosomes and oxysomes is also needed, such as the Hydra 4® Day Protection Cream.

In Your 30s: Boost Nourishment

As you approach your 30s, it's time to boost the nourishment you're giving your skin as your body's natural ability to renew itself begins to slow down. A perfect treatment is the Repêchage C-Serum® Seaweed Filtrate. Think of this as a multi-vitamin for your skin! C-Serum is a highly concentrated seaweed extract rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and trace elements, which helps prevent dehydration and fine lines while returning moisture to restore overall skin vitality. This power-packed serum will give your skin the nutrients it craves. Use it right under your daily moisturizer.

In Your 40s: Start Firming

Once you reach your 40s, you'll want to start incorporating firming products into your daily beauty routine. A rich cream such as the Vita Cura® Triple Firming Cream will help improve skin elasticity along with skin texture and tone. A cream like this is a great introduction to firming products.

In Your 50s and Beyond: Go All In

As you transition into your 50s and beyond, you should adopt a full line of anti-aging products. This would be the time to start using all the components of the Vita Cura® Collection, which is full of anti-aging ingredients and exclusive seaweed, with active ingredients that help nourish, hydrate, and tone your skin for a more youthful-looking complexion. Biomimetic Messenger Pentapeptide and Marine Biopeptide help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin's firmness, and help increase elasticity.

You may also start to see the effects of sun damage from childhood appearing as hyperpigmentation, so incorporate brightening products such as the Biolight™ Brightening Miracle Mask to help target discoloration and even skin tone, revealing a gorgeous, glowing complexion.
