Premature ageing

When we are our young, most of us have healthy, bright and elastic skin that heals rapidly if injured. Later in life, visible signs of growing older include wrinkles, sagging skin and an increasing number of age spots, freckles, moles and other changes to pigmentation caused by sunlight. As we age, the skin becomes thinner and blood vessels become visible, our pores may also increase in size.There are changes beneath the surface too, as the collagen and elastic fibres that allow our skin to stretch start to degrade.
The level of hydrating sugars in our skin reduce, leaving our skin dryer and rougher. And there will be changes in skin tone, fat distribution and elasticity that mean facial contours also alter. Older skin retains less water and becomes dryer and thinner, making it more susceptible to irritation and infection, while wounds take longer to heal.

Skincare

Serums should include vitamin a or retinol. This is scientifically proven to be the best anti-ageing ingredient all round. Include hyaluronic acid serums, which improve skin hydration and make the skin glow and look beautiful.
Moisturisers should also include similar ingredients to Dry skin moisturisers, as the natural ability of the skin to stay hydrated is lower than when we are young.

Finally to help feed the skin, copper peptides and vitamin c are essential building blocks for collagen production. These ingredients can also be useful in their antioxidant effects and helping to safe guard against free radicals too.
All of this needs to be topped off with SPF, as UVA is responsible for at least 80% of skin ageing.
