Skincare products can be quite seductive and persuasive when ageing hits you hard. So, don’t feel alone if your skincare cabinet is bursting with serums, oils, creams and face packs, with the intention of preserving your youthful appearance. However, the secret to an effective skincare regime is to use the right products. In fact, you can do more harm than good if you use the wrong products for your skin.
Skin Ageing
Most people don’t start to take their anti-ageing skincare regime seriously until they blow out the candles at their 30th birthday party. However, the reality is that your skin starts to age as soon as you are born. So, it is very important to build a skincare regime that can address your specific needs at every age.
There is a good chance that your skin has become drier and more sensitive over time, especially if you have used the wrong products and improper sun-protection methods throughout your teens and early 20s. It becomes a daunting task when you have to battle against the skin’s ”easy bruisability” as a result of the poor quality of the skin, as well as the increased fragility of the blood vessels. Hence, the skincare regime that you need to follow after your late 20s is more about prevention and correction.
The Importance of Moisturising
As you age, your skin is not as resilient as it used to be during your teenage or 20s.
The bitter truth is that over time, your skin will struggle to retain its water content, causing excessive dryness. Drier and more sensitive skin results in ‘easy bruisability’, and eventually leads to ‘flaky skin’ that cannot be easily fixed.
It is essential to use moisturiser as we mature because it helps increase the water content of your skin, resulting in a fresher, smoother look. Moisturiser also protects the skin from various environment factors such as dirt, dust, and soot particles that would otherwise cause damage to the skin. Thus, moisturiser is one of the most important products to have in your beauty kit on a day-to-day basis.
