Futureproof Your Skin
6 Anti-Ageing Tips to Transform Your Skin Routine
Growing older can be a wonderful thing – we meet new people, gain new experiences and collect life-long memories. However, it does come with some less desirable side effects like skin ageing.
By investing in an effective anti-ageing skincare routine, you can future proof your skin and maintain your youthful and radiant-looking complexion. We’ve spoken to a few skin experts to simplify the process and give you the go-to anti-ageing tips for your skincare routine.
#1
Double down your cleanse
Regardless of your skin concerns or skin type, cleansing daily is a must to ensure you achieve optimal results from your skincare. It is important to remove any skin care remnants and makeup you’ve applied during the day, this include the pollutants, natural skin oils and bacteria accumulated throughout the day. We advise you to double cleanse during the evening – the first cleanse to break down makeup, remove dirt and excess oil while the second cleanse addresses your specific skin type or concern.
For best results, we recommend our Methode Regenerante Clair de Teint Jeunesse, a soothing milk cleanser that uses a blend of natural oil to gently remove makeup and dirt while regulating the skin’s pH balance. Perfect for most skin types including normal and dry skin, it leaves the skin feeling clean, soft and nourished.
#2
Exfoliation is key
As we age, our skin cell turnover rate is reduced which means dead skin cells aren’t replaced by fresh cells as quickly. This results in your skin starting to look dull, uneven and textured. To combat this, we recommend exfoliating at least 2-3 times weekly as an essential anti-ageing measure. It helps purify clogged pores, smooth skin texture, boosts circulation and brightens the skin overall.
Our personal favourite is the Methode Clarifiante Masque Peeling – a gentle exfoliant with a creamy gel texture and micro bamboo particles to gently remove build up and dead skin. Your skin will feel instantly renewed and reveal a glowing, radiant skin. Plus, it works great as a daily spot treatment!
#3
Serums are your skin’s best friend
Amp up your skin care routine with a face serum – the secret weapon to treating skin concerns such as fine lines, discolouration and dehydration. Designed to treat, nourish and protect your skin, a face serum is the perfect addition to your anti-ageing routine. It delivers active ingredients into your skin to encourage cell renewal for radiant, healthy skin.
For ultimate skin rejuvenation, we recommend our new Belesthétique The Concentrate – a concentrated lifting serum to effectively reduce all signs of skin ageing. With a specially formulated anti-ageing phyto complex from iris and white truffle, nutrients are delivered deep into the skin’s layers to restore elasticity and radiance to the skin while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
Our personal tip: make sure to pat not rub your serum into your skin.
#4
Moisture, moisturise and moisturise!
With age, our skin’s sebum production is reduced and while we celebrate the chances of less acne, it also means our skin is more prone to dryness and dehydration. This results in more fine lines and wrinkles forming!
Moisturising daily will ensure your skin is hydrated and protected against environmental elements. For those looking for a luxe upgrade, we recommend our new Belesthétique The Cream – a rich creamy moisturiser that doubles as a rejuvenating care treatment. Formulated with anti-ageing phyto complex and corn extract to bind moisture and provide optimal function skin’s inner layers and outer barrier. It’s a win-win!
#5
Give your eyes some extra love
Did you know? The skin around the eyes are thinner compared to the rest of the face. It is prone to ageing faster and requires extra delicate care. You’re never too young to start using an eye cream and as always, prevention is key.
We recommend an anti-ageing eye cream that addresses all visible signs of ageing around the eyes like our new Belesthétique The Eye Cream. Packed with active complex ingredients such as white truffle, lupin and rosemary extracts - wrinkles and fine lines look visibly lifted, dark undereye circles are reduced and skin feels rejuvenated.
Bonus tip: Apply to your lips for extra care!
#6
Daily SPF
Wearing sunscreen daily is a crucial part of your skincare routine no matter the season. It protects the skin against harmful UV radiation, one of the most contributing factors to premature ageing. By wearing sunscreen every day, your skin will be in a healthier condition as essential proteins in your skin are well protected and functioning at an optimal level.
Our tip: wear your SPF at least 15 minutes before going out to ensure you get adequate sun protection.
