Take your anti-ageing skincare routine to the next level!

The first thing you notice about anyone is their skin: the largest organ in the human body. According to Marieb & Hoehn's Human Anatomy and Physiology Ninth Edition, an average adult’s skin has a surface area of about 1.67m² and weighs around 4-5kg. As time passes, you may notice your skin not being as radiant and soft as it was during your earlier years. The dreadful wrinkles and fatigue catch up with us as we grow old. 
And there's not much we can do about growing old, but you may be able to deal with skin-ageing.

What is Skin ageing? 

In simple words, skin ageing means wrinkles, loss of elasticity, laxity, and pigmentation giving a rough-textured surface on your face. Lifestyle, diet, heredity, personal habits, exposure to the sun and pollution, stress, daily facial movement, obesity, and even sleep position are some of the primary factors driving the skin ageing process in some people. 

Let's get into our skin: the Epidermis and the Dermis

When you get into the anatomy of human skin, it consists of two parts, the epidermis and the dermis. Hosting cells that produce keratin, an important element keeping the skin healthy and waterproof, as well as melanin, a photo-protective pigment that gives skin its colour, the epidermis protects the underlying layers from the environment.
Meanwhile, the dermis, the second and the thickest layer of skin, contains blood and lymph cells nerves, sweat glands and oil glands. It gives your skin its strength and flexibility and also provides the skin with nutrients and extracts its waste products. 

Best tips for Anti-ageing

Many factors bring transitions into our skin like the changing seasons, harsh climate, our genes as well as our bad habits. Without much ado, let's look at the essential steps that we can take to enable our skin to look elegant and fresh.

Our Weapon: Anti-ageing skin-care regimen 

Cleanser

It starts with a cleanser. Using a gentle cleanser, remove makeup and any skin care product. Washing your face with a cleanser will not only remove the natural skin oils, pollutants, and bacteria, but it will also allow the skin care products to enter your skin and work better.

Step 2: Massage gently till completely absorbed.

Vitamin C serums

Adding a Vitamin C Serum to your skincare regimen will bring a huge difference to your skin health as it plays an important role in forming and repairing body tissue, and delivers antioxidants that fight the free radicals and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and brighten your skin.

Other Factors that you need to consider

When you want to protect your skin from ageing, following a specific skincare regimen can only do so much. You need to consider many factors to keep your skin looking young and radiant. Your sleep habits and diet also make a big difference in the appearance of your skin. 
Along with using skincare products, following a healthy sleeping schedule and a healthy & well-balanced diet will bring visible improvements to your skin. Smoking significantly speeds up skin ageing, causing wrinkles and a dull, sallow complexion. Exercising for at least three days a week can improve circulation and boost the immune system, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Exfoliate your skin once a week with a face scrub. It's a known fact that our skin releases dead cells regularly, creating a new layer every 28 days. As we grow old, that process can slow over time, leading to a dull-looking complexion and rough patches. To help remove that buildup, exfoliate weekly for brighter skin. 
Ditch the harsh-skin products and use Lotus Botanicals Vitamin C Skin Brightening Scrub to get naturally soft and bright skin. Apply it twice a week for optimum results.
