โก๏ธSWIPE for TOP 3 WAYS to STOP Ageing Skin in 2021! โ โ
โ โ
๐There are three skin care essentials that help reduce and reverse the signs of ageing. In this post, I mention a few of my favourites for you to use in 2021โ โ
โ โ
โ โ
โ๏ธ1. Sun Protectionโ โ
- Stops ageing before it occurs aka. Primary prevention โ โ
- UV rays are most prevalent between 10am to 4pm, although in the winter the hours of exposure can be much less! โ โ
- Use broad spectrum sunscreen covering both UV-A and UV-B rays. Some sun lotions also protect against High Energy Visible Light (HEVL) and Infrared (IRA) rays ! โ โ
- Use SPF 30 or higher โ โ
โ โ
My favourites:โ โ
- Heliocare 360 Oil-free Gel SPF 50+โ
- La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+ Sun Cream โ
- OBAGI Matte Sun Shield SPF 50โ
โ โ
โ โ
๐งด2. Retinoidsโ โ
- Reduce and reverse the appearance of ageing skin โ โ
- Increase type I + III pro-collagen genes in skinโ โ
- Improve the skin environment for better skin blood supply โ โ
- Start at a low dose, and go slowly, only 2-3x per week โ โ
โ โ
My favourites:โ โ
- OBAGI Retinol 1.0โ โ
- ZOยฎ Skin Health Wrinkle + Texture Repairโ โ
- OBAGI Retivanceยฎ Skin Rejuvenating Complexโ โ
โ โ

๐3. Anti-oxidantsโ โ
- Antioxidant use can either stop or reverse the effects of ageing skinโ โ
- Vitamin C especially reduces the effects of photo-damaged skin cells and redness after UV-radiation (from sun exposure)โ โ
- Avoid for those with acne-prone skin โ โ
โ โ
My favourites:โ โ
- ZOยฎ 10% Vitamin C Self-activatingโ โ
