We have two contributing factors to how we age:

Intrinsic Ageing, which is known as chronological Ageing, it is the inevitable genetically determined process that naturally occurs. It is out of our hands and something that is "In our genes." It counts for 50% of how we age.

Then we have Extrinsic Ageing, which counts for the other 50%. It is the part of Ageing that goes above and beyond genetics.

It involves lifestyle, environment, stress, diet, pollution, and lack of sleep. These are all factors that we can control.

1. Loss of volume decreased collagen and elastin production

2. Dullness & Roughness in Texture

3. Sensitivity

4. Irregular Pigmentation & Uneven Skintone

5. Fine lines & Wrinkles

These signs and symptoms are an indication of biological changes to skin structure and function. Some of these factors are the consequence of Intrinsic Ageing, but in most cases, our environment and lifestyle (Extrinsic) have accelerated these. Hence the result is premature Ageing.

The good news is we have some fantastic ways to help the fight signs of Ageing. Prevention is key!

1. Protect your skin from the sun every single day. Whether spending a day at the beach or running errands, sun protection is essential. You are using Sunscreen that is broad-spectrum, SPF 30 (or higher). You should apply sunscreen every day to all skin that is not covered by clothing.

2. Smoking!!!! Smoking greatly speeds up how quickly skin ages. It causes wrinkles and a dull, sallow complexion.

3. Try to eat a well-balanced diet. Findings from research studies also suggest that a diet containing lots of sugar or other refined carbohydrates can accelerate Ageing.

4. Care for your skin. Look carefully at your skincare regime. Have a skin consultation to find out exactly what your skin needs.

5. Exercise. Try to exercise regularly, this improves circulation can give the skin a more-youthful appearance.

So with all the information & education, we have available the two points we can help with here at Skinmart are Skincare & Suncare.
When it comes to skincare, look for active ingredients like Vitamin A, B, C & Peptides.
When we are looking at suncare, make sure you have a broad spectrum SPF and at least 30+.

My go-to for Ageing comes from the Medik8 Philosophy CSA.

This stands for Vitamin C in the morning followed with Sunscreen, then Vitamin A at night.

We are here to help with any skin concerns & product information you need.
