5 best anti-ageing ingredients and how do they work
Emma Thompson once said, “The trick is to age honestly and gracefully and make it look great so that everyone looks forward to it.” I completely resonate with this and have always believed that both outer and inner beauty helps us age honestly and gracefully. Being true to yourself, engaging yourself in wholesome activities and being mindful about the wellbeing of the people around you definitely helps. What also helps is making sure that the natural skin care products that you use daily are packed with some anti-ageing ingredients.
Some of my favourite anti-ageing ingredients to include in my skincare routine are-
1. Resveratrol - Naturally found in peanuts, grapes, red wine and some berries, it is a strongly used anti-ageing agent in the cosmetic industry. It is also a plant derived antioxidant that can also be paired with sunscreen to effectively fight sun damage. Regular use of resveratrol improves cellular function and creates healthy collagen. This makes our skin feel smoother, younger and healthier.
2. Ferulic Acid - One of primary actives in our all time bestseller serum ‘timeless’, Ferulic Acid is a plant derived magical ingredient that helps the skin in fighting first signs of ageing and free radical photodamage. A powerful antioxidant, it is anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidants and possesses an ability to boost the effectiveness of other ingredients. It’s often used in conjunction with other sources of Vitamin C, which makes it a perfect part and parcel of the fight against wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Ectoin - Tired and puffy eyes with fine lines are one of the first signs of ageing. This is often due to increased screen time or lack of sleep. Ectoin is a multifunctional active present in ‘sleepover’ and ‘wink wink’ that is able to prevent cell damage and inflammation caused by all sorts of stress factors, thereby preserving the skin’s beauty and health. It is efficient in anti-aging and skin protection as it repairs and improves damaged, aged, stressed and irritated skin.
4. Revinage (Bio Retinol) - If you are looking to soothe your skin and bid adieu to deep wrinkles and expression lines then this plant-based extract is your go to. Acting similar to synthetic retinoids, revinage promotes the treatment of ageing skin without adverse effects. It has an antioxidant action and soothing properties that even restories chapped lips. Try ‘dewy lips’ and ‘just me’ to see the results for yourself.
5. CoQ10 - Naturally present in each cell of our body, the amount of CoQ10 in our body determines the age of our skin. The presence of this powerful antioxidant energies cell activity, repairs damage and keeps skin healthy. It also helps the skin to fight against sun damage, stimulate collagen, improve skin’s elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
With every blog, I just wish that the time and effort that we all put to achieve healthy and glowing skin has an added meaning to it. Skincare is a form of self care and rituals keep our hearts full.
