Signs of aging manifest slowly and steadily if you are regularly following a daily skincare regimen. However, if you’ve been less consistent with your at-home care, you could be aging faster than necessary.
1. Wrinkled Hands We often neglect our hands when it comes to skincare, even though they are more exposed to sun than other body parts. Consequently, your hands may age faster than your face. The skin on your hands is delicate, tending to thin out and become leathery as wrinkles develop. Use a hand & body lotion rich in not only hydration, but in anti-aging ingredients used on the face: vitamin C, grape seed oil, macadamia oil, jojoba oil and shea butter. Your skin’s barrier will be stronger, resulting in more supple, stronger skin that locks in moisture and repels irritants. 2. Crow’s Feet & Laugh Lines Crow’s feet and laugh lines are among the very first signs of aging. Over time, your skin produces less collagen and those wrinkles that appear from squinting and laughing become permanent. Combat them while strengthening your skin with a serum rich in stem cells, phytonutrients & vitamin C. These ingredients encourage smoothness and stimulate cellular renewal.

1. Increase in Brown Spots Brown spots (hyperpigmenttions) are obvious signs of aging. They result from your body’s melanin overproduction, occurring when your skin is overexposed to the sun. Fight them back, and prevent future dark spots, with serums containing botanical brighteners & vitamin C. Be sure to use sunscreen over any serums to ensure their effectiveness (as well as diminish the effects of the sun’s harmful rays.) Mineral sunscreen, SPF 30 or greater, absorbs quickly without a white cast or residue and doesn’t clog pores. 2. Dry Skin, Even After Moisturizing As skin ages, it produces less and less oil, and the lipids (natural moisturizers) in your skin decrease. To replenish this natural store and keep moisture locked in, employ a highly emollient moisturizing crème that contains vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and/or shea butter. Together or apart, these ingredients restore hydration and boost your skin’s lipid layer for continual hydration. |
