Youthful tips on how to slow your roll
The wonderful thing about anti-aging skincare is that it’s never too late to get started!
Don’t worry about what’s come before, the important thing is that you’re here now and ready to get to work!
What the beauty industry doesn’t always make clear is that incorporating anti-aging products into your skincare routine doesn’t freeze or reverse the effects of time on your skin. Anti-aging products help to slow the development of inevitable signs of aging. Whether it’s thin skin, pigmentation, wrinkles (fine lines and crow’s feet), or skin dullness - there’s no need to wait for the other shoe to drop before you make your move.
When should I start?
The sooner the better! Skincare experts advise starting with anti-aging in your early 20s to get the best mileage. You won’t need to start with the deep and intense anti-aging creams (though those are great too!), but applying the right products will do wonders in slowing down signs of aging.
Where should I start?
Before I go further, I have to remind you that sun care and keeping your body well-fed and hydrated goes a long way to maintaining the youthful bounce of your skin. Feeling good looks great on you!
From your early 20s onwards
You’re in your early twenties, and you’re getting serious about anti-aging. You are going to want something like the innisfree Black Tea Youth Enhancing Treatment Essence. This lightweight essence is unique because it’s formulated to be used immediately after cleansing. Rich in antioxidants, this anti-aging powerhouse offers a soothing feeling upon application, relieving your skin of oxidative stress caused by external factors like UV light and pollution.
This treatment essence also contains peptides which, as we have covered before, help encourage your skin to produce more of its own peptides and promote skin cell turnover. This will result in more naturally occurring collagen within your skin, which is responsible for that soft, bouncy look we so often associate with our youth.
Then what?
If you’re anything like me when I was in my early twenties, you’re looking for something quick but still effective. For that, I have to point you to the Black Tea Youth Enhancing Ampoule. As an ampoule, it’s going to deliver an even higher concentration of active ingredients than a serum or an essence. The skincare steps are: cleanse, use your Black Tea Treatment Essence, apply a toner, and then move to this anti-aging product.
My favorite thing about this ampoule is that it’s designed to be used twice a day, both in the morning and at night. I especially enjoy using it at night because of its Night Defense Formula™ which works hard in the background while you get your (literal!) beauty sleep. As you drift off to dreamland, this ampoule repairs skin, moisturizes, vitalizes, and restores skin radiance & elasticity so you can wake up looking and feeling fresh as a daisy.
It’s Up to You(th)
Deciding to take this stuff seriously is a personal decision. I’m not here to twist your arm until you see the benefits of anti-aging skincare. All I want to do here is lay out the info plain and simple so you can make the most well-informed decision possible about your basic skincare routine.
That said, if you’re young and just starting out - these two products together are absolutely dynamite and totally worth a shot! They are even more effective when used together in a skincare routine, enhancing your skin’s firmness and radiance for an optimal reset effect.
Keep looking out for number one!
