Once we hit a certain age, there are staple products to use and regimens to follow to maintain a beautiful appearance. Below is a list that some of the top dermatologists in the world recommend that we should all start by age 40. We say it’s never too early to start fighting the signs of aging—especially with natural solutions like facial exercises—so start them now, whatever your age!
Always Wear Sunscreen
Most dermatologists claim that if they were stuck on a desert island and could only have one product, it would be sunscreen! Since sun damage is the culprit behind everything from hyperpigmentation and melasma to wrinkles and freckles, sunscreen is essential, rain or shine. Apply one with an SPF of 30 or more, like our Protective Sunblock, and re-apply throughout the day.
Treat Your Neck and Decollete
One of the most neglected areas for women of all ages is the neck and decollete. This region can be a dead giveaway for lack of care. Give these areas the same attention you give your face, including moisturizer and sunscreen.
Incorporate Antioxidants
Dermatologists claim that antioxidants are a must-have once you hit 40. Incorporate them into your diet and product regimen to enjoy their wide-ranging benefits. The antioxidants found in both food and certain products help combat free radical damage, promote collagen production, decrease inflammation, and reduce the signs of photoaging.
Use Retinol
Research shows that products that contain retinoids, like our Luxe Retinol Serum, provide next level exfoliation while restoring volume and elasticity. Retinol also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production and slowing its breakdown. This vitamin A derivative unclogs pores, increases firmness and elasticity,reduces inflammation, and helps reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation by slowing the production of melanin.
Exercise Both Face and Body
Exercise has been proven to slow down the signs of aging and boost overall health. It improves circulation, prompting delivery of oxygen-rich blood to skin cells. Exercise also releases endorphins, which promotes a better mood and reduces stress.
Facercise
Just like exercises boosts circulation, so does Facercise. Daily facial exercises boost collagen to maintain elasticity, stimulate the lymphatic system, define facial contours and boost cellular regeneration.
