‘Anti-Ageing skincare’. Words you’ve likely seen on tonnes of skincare products out there.
Whilst these words help you look for the right products based on your skin goals, do you actually know how these products work?
With lots of skin-loving, powerhouse ingredients, anti-ageing skincare works in tonnes of different ways to help your skin.
Before we jump into them it’s worth noting that skincare for anti-ageing is here to help your skin age gracefully and not fall victim to premature ageing. It can’t reverse ageing and it shouldn’t!
Ageing is real and real is beautiful, that’s why our Give Me Cosmetics Anti-Ageing Skincare products work to enhance your natural beauty, not hide it.
Now, let’s take a deep dive into some of the ingredients in anti-ageing skincare.
Ingredients
As mentioned above, there are a few ways that anti-ageing skincare works to retain a youthful, radiant complexion, so here are just a few of them:
Reducing Signs of Ageing
Of course, skincare can’t reverse signs of ageing, but it can help to prevent and reduce them.
Ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol are perfect examples, working to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, whilst also improving skin elasticity and firmness, and smoothing rough patches on the skin.
Green Tea also fits into this category, containing tonnes of vitamins and antioxidants that help with collagen production, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.
As the name suggests, our Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Skin Duo is packed full of hyaluronic acid, which helps to keep the skin’s natural moisture intact and give it the essential hydration it needs.
Another product which utilises the hydrating powers of Hyaluronic Acid is our Witch Hazel Face Toner.
It works to refresh and tone pores and also makes use of Retinol to smooth skin and keep an overall clear, fresh complexion.
For an extra bit of anti-ageing skincare (and pampering whilst we’re at it), our Hyaluronic Acid & Collagen Sheet Masks are the perfect chance to sit back and relax whilst letting the anti-ageing ingredients work their magic.
To keep pores purified and maintain a fresh, youthful complexion every day, our Green Tea & Vitamin E Cleansing Balm makes use of Green Tea’s many vitamins and antioxidants.
Protecting the skin from environmental factors
Environmental factors like the sun, free radicals, and oxidative stress can cause premature ageing in the skin, so anti-ageing products make use of ingredients that combat these.
Some great examples include Vitamin C and Niacinamide, which neutralise free radicals and oxidative stress and improve collagen production.
Niacinamide also increases NAD and NADP - molecules that act as antioxidants - which can reduce oxidative stress - that’s right, we can be science-y!
Taking full advantage of Vitamin C is our Vitamin C Illuminating Skin Duo, a bundle which cleanses, nourishes, protects, and brightens skin.
Where Niacinamide is involved so is our Anti-Ageing Day Cream, infused with Niacinamide and Retinol to deliver super luxury hydration without leaving a greasy residue.
Another crucial product to remember for anti-ageing practices is SPF and our Broad Spectrum SPF50 protects skin from both UVA and UVB rays.
Rejuvenating the skin
Rejuvenated skin not only looks great, but feels super fresh and clean, and is the key to retaining a youthful complexion.
Ingredients like Glycolic Acid and Biotin are crucial for skin rejuvenation, nourishing the skin and helping oil glands to function.
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), which exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and making room for new ones.
Our AHA Glycolic Glow & Hydrate Skin Tonic is the perfect product for removing old skin cells and making room for new ones, giving you a fresh, rejuvenated complexion every single day.
