It might not be possible to stay frozen in time and look young forever, but the good news is that the right skincare routine can help you dial back visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation and discolouration. Instead of waiting till your 50s and 60s to tackle these skincare concerns, it helps to get a head start by developing a preventative routine in your mid-20s for skin that looks flawless forever. Here's how you can get started:
Follow This Skincare Routine to Slow Down Ageing After 25
It is often misunderstood that ageing only needs to be tackled from the outside it is equally essential to opt for larger lifestyle measures to slow down internal signs of ageing from appearing on your skin. Stress can play a significant role in aggravating premature signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, while also robbing the skin of its natural elasticity. It is necessary to counter the same by clocking in adequate sleep every night to allow the skin to generate fresh collagen and maintain its elasticity for longer. Furthermore, it is essential to opt for adequate protection from sun exposure with a sunscreen cream. Eating a balanced diet with foods rich in antioxidants and exercising regularly can also help get the blood flowing and give you that radiant glow.
Skincare Ingredients to Add to Your Anti-Ageing Routine
Once you have mastered these lifestyle measures, it is time to develop your anti-ageing arsenal with an easy-to-follow routine that can help you keep premature signs of ageing at bay. Here's a closer look at the anti-ageing ingredients to look for when shopping for skincare products for women:
Retinol:Often considered as a miracle worker for ageing skin, retinol works overtime to help your face look younger than ever before. Its primary function lies in stimulating the production of collagen to help skin look more supple. It also works on increasing skin cell turnover, reducing the visibility of acne and preventing the formation of new spots.
Collagen:Think of collagen as the building blocks that hold your skin together. While this protein is naturally present in our skin, hair and muscles, its production starts reducing with age. It is important to supplement it with topical collagen that can bind the skin cells together for a firmer, lifted appearance.
Niacinamide:Fine lines and wrinkles don't stand a chance against this anti-ageing vitamin that works on boosting collagen, smoothing the skin and reducing discolouration for a smoother, blemish-free visage.
Pond's Age Miracle unites these powerhouse skincare ingredients for youthful skin that feels rejuvenated from within. Formulated with Retinol-C for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while Vitamin B3 and Prebiotic Complex brightens skin and fades dark spots. Collagen comes in to plump up the skin and SPF 15 PA++ makes it the best sunscreen for all skin types by shielding the face from UV rays and sun damage.
How To Develop Your AM-PM Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine
Once you have discovered the ingredients to add to your anti-ageing arsenal, it is time to deploy them in an AM-PM routine that you can easily follow every day. Whether you are just getting started on your anti-ageing journey or looking to dial back the clock on ageing-related skincare concerns, follow this routine in the morning and night:
Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine For AM:
1. After clocking in a rejuvenating eight hours of sleep, your skin is often dealing with oil that accumulated as you sleep. Wash away all the oils with a non-drying cleanser that is suited for your skin type.
2. Once you are working with a clean canvas, it is time to turn your attention to the specific care that your skin needs. If you are looking to give your skin a boost of brightness, the Pond's Bright Beauty Anti-Pigmentation Serum is the best serum for glowing skin by penetrating ten layers deep to repair and brighten dull, fatigued skin.
3. Next, it is time to give your under-eye area some special care as it is more prone to premature signs of ageing. Look for a moisturising formula that will provide this delicate area with the moisture that it needs to keep fine lines, puffiness and dark circles at bay.
4. For skin that looks healthy, supple and young, a moisturiser is a non-negotiable addition in your AM skincare routine. Ensure that you take the day on without any moisture loss by gently massaging in moisturiser to keep the skin well-hydrated through the day.
5. Lastly, you will want the best sunscreen to seal in the good work by shielding your skin from sun-related damage. The New Pond's Age Miracle Day Cream is one step ahead by combining the power of potent anti-ageing ingredients, such as collagen, retinol and niacinamide, with SPF 15 PA++ for protection from UV rays.
Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine For PM:
1. After you head back home from a long day, it is time to give your skin the TLC it deserves by taking off all the debris from pollutants and environmental aggressors with a gentle cleanser that doesn't strip the skin dry.
2. If you are looking to do a deep-clean of your pores, opt for a weekly routine of exfoliation to unclog your skin and increase skin cell turnover that will aid you in your quest for vital, radiant skin.
3. Next, it is time to call in the big guns with a retinol serum that can work on fighting back visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines, pigmentation, and wrinkles. Ensure that you pat in the serum gently and allow a few minutes for absorption before moving on to the next step of your routine.
4. If you are looking to work on wrinkles and fine lines, the Pond's Age Miracle Wrinkle Corrector Night Cream offers the highest concentration of Pond's most advanced technology, Retinol-C Complex. When applied before sleeping, it releases anti-aging retinol actives into the skin that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines from the inside.
5. Taking the time to follow this skincare routine in the AM and PM along with the necessary lifestyle measures won't just help your skin look ageless, but also soothe the mind and help you devise a holistic approach to anti-ageing that helps you look and feel young, now and forever.
