We are going to talk about when and how to start anti-aging and what your skincare routine should look like for every age group. So, let’s get started. Our skin is an ever-changing, living, work. It knows how to regulate, rejuvenate, repair and also it regenerates new skin cells every single day. It knows how to push away that skin cells every single day. However, this process dysfunction will slow down with biological aging and also your lifestyle, your diet, whatever you’re doing with your skincare. That’s when your skincare products come in to support. This process to kind of push your skin cells, to do its job.

When it comes to anti-aging skincare routine, there are three main strategies that you can consider. First, prevention, second, maintenance and third, reversal. In your teenagers all the way up to early 20s your skin is already very awesomely independent. So, you might not need a lot of support from skincare products. But, I think it’s also a really prime time for you to form really good skincare habits. Look for simple formulas that are gentle, mild enough, that you can use every single day.

I will be going through each step so that you know what to look for. Cleansing; the most fundamental rule when it comes to cleansing is to be as gentle as possible. We have to protect our skin barrier as much as possible to prevent the signs of aging and cleanser is inevitably the most skin barrier damaging product. We should choose a cleanser that is really gentle on your skin that in fact leaves your skin really plump, supple and hydrated after wash and ideally that is close to your skin’s natural peel. It doesn’t need to be fancy, it doesn’t need to be expensive.

Number two is to properly moisturize. I know it is very easy to neglect this moisturizing stuff especially in your teenagers because your receive in production is going out of the roof. At the moment our skin feels the most comfortable in repairing, rejuvenating and regulating on its own in a really well-hydrated environment. So, your moisturizer doesn’t need to be really thick or buttery or waxy at all. She’s a really lightweight gel. Moisturizers that you feel the most comfortable wearing should be used.

Step number three start protecting and stop baking. Apply a really good broad-spectrum daily sunscreen that you feel the most comfortable in applying every single thing. Without a doubt, a lot of skincare experts including dermatologists, biologists, estheticians and even your mom would agree with me; the most cost-effective and the best anti-aging skincare product is going to be sunscreen. That’s simply because the UV damage is going to be the number one cause when it comes to skin aging but it damages our skin in multiple different love.

Let’s learn about the two main UV radiations that affect our skin. If there are UVA and UVB, UVB is the one that intensely burns our skin especially in summer times, especially on really sunny day. It has a shorter wavelength. So, it reaches our epidermis which is the top layer of the skin. However, the power is very intense. Then, there is UVA which is more associated with skin aging. This has a longer wavelength- that is present all year round, even in winter, even on cloudy and rainy days. And, it is able to penetrate the glass or the window. So, it’s actually present indoors – also UVA penetrates deeper into our skin reaching the lower level or the mid-level of the skin called dermis and dermis is where it decides our skin bounciness basically because it has collagen protein and elastin fibers and all of that.

When you’re looking for a sunscreen, make sure it is broad-spectrum or it has really good UVA protection as well and we want to apply at least SPF of 30 on a daily basis. The best sunscreen ever is something that will encourage you to apply every single day and everyone has different preferences when it comes to sunscreen texture.

When we’re moving on to our late 20s and early 30s, this is the time where you will start feeling some physical-biological changes and this is when I start noticing my metabolism slowing down significantly even though I was eating the same amount of food. I was just becoming rounder and rounder. So, that’s when I started working out and going to the gym and trying to maintain this bodily function to not like drop. So, we are entering maintenance mode.

We’re trying to balance out. What is slowly missing was once present in our skin but again it doesn’t need to be too extreme or too crazy or too harsh or intense. In this stage we might need a little bit more hydration. So, look for a really good humectant ingredient. Humectants are basically like water magnets. They just draw moisture. They draw hydration from the air from your skincare products and from your skin to make sure the top layer of their skin is really supple and nicely hydrated. Cumec does include glycerin, hyaluronic acid, sodium, Halloran and a lot of really great natural moisturizing factors that your skin already produces. Those are really good

ingredients to look for in skincare products. You are really diligent and hydrating and well nourishing and well protecting your skin. You might not need to introduce retinol or other active ingredients at this stage.

If you are someone who lived in such a developed metropolitan city that has little to no green space such as New York where a soul or Hong Kong you are exposing your skin to a lot of great external stressors that can stress out your skin, cause free radicals including toxins, radiation, and stress.

You know what Department slows down as we age? Exfoliation department; our skin naturally regenerates new healthy skin cells every single day pushing away that skin cells so that our skin maintains that really plump and useful. So, I think this is a really good time to start your

chemical exfoliation game by incorporating some alpha hydroxy acid and alpha hydroxy acids are basically chemical exfoliants that unglued that skin cell bonds that kind of makes your skin easier to push away that skin cell so when it’s renewing on its own exfoliation, it does get addictive.
