Anti-ageing

By MiNDFOOD

Anti-ageing

Safeguard your skin against ageing using professional products based on science-backed ingredients and therapies. Add these potent formulas to your daily beauty regime and farewell fine lines and other visible signs of skin ageing.

These top-five products (pictured) were chosen because of their scientific combination of ingredients, including peptides, AHAs, vitamin A and DNA enzymes, a revolutionary skin protection technology to reduce the effect of damage associated with premature skin ageing. Other key essential ingredients include SPF protection, a must in every anti-ageing routine, as well as antioxidants.

From powerful serums to repair and reduce the appearance of fine lines to intensely hydrating moisturisers, these five favourites will reveal a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Ageing action

Humans have always been fascinated by anti-ageing. The quest for new pharmaceutical technologies in today’s professional skincare products shows noticeable results long term. To address anti-ageing concerns or delay the signs of ageing, try these latest anti-ageing products to see a clear difference and improved skin health.

Damaged cells

“Antioxidants are still the wave of the future in skincare anti-ageing therapy,” says scientist Joe Lewis. “Damage accumulation from oxidative stress is the fundamental cause of ageing, and antioxidants are our defence against oxidative stress.
A wrinkle is born as a result of oxidative stress. Like it or not, we are slowly oxidising.”

Complex formula

Lewis says to look out for anti-ageing products that revolve around the Idebenone Complex, “which has been shown to correct oxidative stress on a cellular level, helping to block multiple pathways of cellular free-radical mediated damage, thereby allowing the cell the time for cell repair and rejuvenation.”

Full body focus

“One important aesthetic trend is the awareness of treating anti-ageing for the entire body. More people are investing in treatments beyond the face that focus on protecting and perfecting the body,” says Neal Kitchen, VP of strategy and development at HydroPeptide.

In our genes

Another trend, according to Dr Neal Kitchen, is epigenetic research and how it applies to our skin health. “This is a very hot and important trend for the future of anti-ageing. Understanding how our genetic material is regulated and how it changes as we age will be critical to future innovation,” says Kitchen.

Your regimen

Be proactive in taking care of your skin, say our skincare experts. Many people embrace the mantra of eating well and exercising to keep a healthy body and prevent disease as they age, but often treat skin care as reactive. Be proactive in protecting your skin and developing a regimen with the right products for your skin. For expert advice, see your trusted skincare professional.
