Anti Aging skincare: the ingredients you should be looking for

We know how daunting it can be starting a new skincare routine. You have been using the same routine for years now and your skin is fine, but fine is just that… fine.

Over the years, our skin can change dramatically and so too do its demands. As we age, skin becomes thinner and as collagen production slows, we are left with the ‘signs of aging’ we have been warned about for years. 

It seems that with every new skincare product, there is a new ingredient we are told to incorporate into our routine. With so much mis-information out there, it can be overwhelming understanding which ingredients you should be looking for in your skincare products.

If you are looking to start or update your anti-aging skincare regime, we have put together a list of the key ingredients you should be looking for:

• Vitamin A: Vitamin A is an anti-aging life saver. Helping to build collagen and reduce fine lines, Vitamin A improves the elasticity of your skin via hydration.
• Vitamin C: Not only does Vitamin C help to smooth and brighten your skin, this super antioxidant can improve the appearance of sun damaged skin and lessen the appearance of hyperpigmentation while boosting collagen and elastin.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA): Alpha Hydroxy Acid, otherwise known as AHA, is a powerful exfoliant that helps to boost the appearance of your skin. Helping to reduce pores and pigmentation as well as dry and scaly skin, AHA is a skincare must have.
• DNA repair enzymes: Based on Nobel Prize winning research, DNA repair enzymes help to protect the skin’s own DNA.
