The right age to start using anti-ageing skincare products
The key to a healthy, glowing skin is to develop a skincare routine and follow it regularly. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be consistent if you want better results. Every person’s skin is likely to age differently and develop different signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and more. However, if you wait to address these problems only after they show up, you are missing out on the powers of prevention. The early you start, the less likely you are to worry about ageing skin. But, how does one decide the right time or age to start a skincare routine? Don’t worry, we’re here to give you an insight on the same.
At what age should you start using skincare products?
When it comes to a skincare routine, there is no particular age. However, if we had a put a number on when to start, we would suggest that you start with the basics such as a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen around the age of 13 to 15, when you hit puberty and your skin undergoes multiple changes. By the time you hit your 20s, you shall be in the habit of a routine already and at that age, you can start incorporating newer products depending on your skin type. As you cross over into your 30s, your skin looks mature at that age, so you should start adding anti-ageing products such as a wrinkle cream and more into your skincare routine. Remember, it is never too early to start an anti-ageing skincare routine.
Anti-ageing skincare essentials
• Cleanser
Washing your face with a gentle cleanser helps get rid of dirt, impurities, sweat, and oil from your face. To begin with, you can use the mild yet effective Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water to remove all the impurities and toxins from your skin. Follow this step by double cleansing your face with the Garnier Bright Complete Facewash to refresh, revive, and clean your face thoroughly.
• Vitamin C serum
Products containing vitamin C serve as one of the best anti-ageing treatments as they prevent your skin from hyperpigmentation, sagging, dark spots and more. Vitamin C-rich products also stimulate collagen production that help maintain the skin’s elasticity and volume. You can try the Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum as it helps you get a spotless and bright complexion.
• Eye roll-on
The skin around your eyes are delicate and often the first areas to show signs of ageing such as wrinkles, dark circles and crow’s feet. It is best to pair the Garnier Bright Complete Eye Roll-On with your wrinkle cream to nourish and brighten the skin around your eyes. This roll-on is enriched with Pro-vitamin B5 that refreshes and smoothens the area around your eyes.
• Anti-ageing cream
Moisturizing your skin with an anti-ageing cream is a must if you want to reduce the appearance of ageing skin. Use the Garnier Wrinkle Lift Anti-Ageing Cream that intensely hydrates and enhances the skin, making it feel supple, hydrated, smooth, and younger-looking. This wrinkle cream is made with an active essence of cherries combined with bilberry extract to help firm your skin. The gentle cleansing agent present in the wrinkle cream also keeps the pH balance of your skin in check.
• Sun protector
One of the most common causes for ageing skin is overexposure to the sun. This contributes to the development of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, including your neck. You should use a broad-spectrum SPF during the daytime to shield your skin from the sun. Try the Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream with SPF 40 that protects your skin from harsh UV rays as well as external aggressors like dust and pollution.
• Anti-ageing face mask
Using an anti-ageing face mask helps trap the active ingredients in the skin, making it look radiant and plump. The Garnier Ageless White Serum Sheet Mask is made with grapeseed and hyaluronic acid that helps firm your skin for a glowing appearance. We recommend using this anti-ageing face mask thrice a week for best results.
