It’s the secret everyone wants to know: how to fight the signs of ageing and enjoy younger-looking skin. With the right skincare routine, you can get exactly this – so we’ve put together 10 simple tips to give you the skin you deserve.
1. Protect your skin from the sun daily
It doesn’t matter whether you’re spending a long day at the beach or running around for work, if you’re headed outside then sun protection is essential. Always cover up with sun-protective clothing, and seek out shade to limit your exposure to UV rays.
2. Use self-tanner rather than sunbaking
It might feel good at the time, but nothing ages your skin faster than spending long periods of time out in the sun. Go for a self-tanning solution rather than sunbaking.
3. Focus on your face
We unconsciously make facial expressions all day long, but did you know that repeatedly making the same facial expressions can make facial lines permanent? This is because contracting the underlying muscles in your face makes skin creases. You don’t have to be blank-faced all day, but just be more conscious of any repetitive facial expressions.
4. Eat healthy
Maintaining a well-balanced diet is an easy way to fight the signs of ageing. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables!
5. Cut out the drinking and smoking
Smoking really speeds up how fast your skin ages, causing wrinkles and giving your face a dull, sallow complexion. Drinking alcohol dehydrates you and over time can damage your skin.
6. Prioritise exercise
Moderate exercise every day can improve circulation and boost your immune system. This will give your skin a more youthful appearance, and best of all you’ll feel better!
7. Cleanse and exfoliate
Make sure you always cleanse your skin gently, and exfoliate the right way to ensure you don’t irritate your skin. Gentle washing gets rid of makeup, pollution and other nasty substances without the risk of micro-tearing.
8. Moisturise daily
A good moisturiser will retain water in your skin, giving you that youthful glow everyone wants. Make sure you keep up the routine daily.
9. Eat antioxidant-rich foods
Vitamin B12 helps your body produce oxygen-carrying red blood cells. This supports your immune system and encourages healthy nerve function. So go for antioxidant-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, bright berries and even green tea.
10. Jump on the retinoid bandwagon!
If you only have one anti-ageing product at home, make sure it has retinoids. A retinoid is a powerful skincare ingredient well-known for its ability to accelerate cell renewal. Our Retinol Night Renewal Serum, for example, has been developed using the latest Gold Standard retinoids.
Best ingredients for anti-ageing
There are lots of different ingredients that can fight the signs of ageing in very different ways. At BOOST LAB, we’ve created a range of serums to do just that – and here are the ingredients that make it happen!
- Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that helps boost collagen production and cell turnover. It’s a key ingredient in our Night Renewal Serum, and results in smoother-looking skin while reducing the appearance of sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles.
- Our Anti-Ageing Serum is packed with two special anti-ageing ingredients. Argireline is a unique peptide that reduces any existing wrinkles while effectively preventing further development – particularly around the eyes and forehead. Syn-Ake quickly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and laughter lines. It helps your face relax, which means fewer fine lines and wrinkles without losing the ability to express yourself!
You can explore all of our BOOST LAB products to find the right one for your needs, and get plenty of inspo from our blog to improve your skincare routine and enjoy a better complexion.
