6 Anti Ageing Products You Should Have in Your Arsenal

Last Modified: July 30, 2022

Growing older has its' perks. As we get older, we often gain wisdom, confidence, and purpose. But, getting older has its' consequences, too.

First, you may notice the crows feet creeping in, or spot a strand of grey hair. When you flash a smile in the mirror one day, you will find laugh lines staring back at you. Or, maybe it's the loss of your skin's firmness or tone that grabs your attention.

Maintaining a youthful appearance has always been important.

Today's market makes it possible to keep your skin, hair, and body looking younger, longer than ever before.

The global market for anti ageing products and services is expected to grow to over $330 billion dollars by the year 2020.

No doubt, we spend a lot of money in an attempt to grow old gracefully. But how many of these products actually deliver?

Find out which must-have anti ageing products work best!

The Top 6 Anti Ageing Products You Need Right Now

Everywhere you look there is something being advertised to make you look younger and slow the ageing process to a halt. But, as many of us already know, not all anti-ageing products are created equal.

Here are 6 products that are worth the investment.

1. Renew Dull Skin With Alpha Hydroxy Acids

Alpha hydroxy acids are the industry's go-to for exfoliating dead skin and renewing skin cells. These products work to get rid of dull cells that collect on the skin's surface.

Performance largely depends on which acids are present in a product, and if there is a large enough amount to be effective. Generally, a product needs to contain about 10% of an AHA to offer optimal results.

You should also be leery of alpha hydroxy face cleansers. These products can be among the pricier in their class, and AHA's need to remain on the skin in order to get the most bang for your buck. We typically wash off facial cleansers after just a few seconds of contact, which isn't enough time to get the greatest benefit from an alpha hydroxy acid.

Instead, try a cream, such as Crepey Skin Body and Face Cream With Hyaluronic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy & More to get the maximum value-add. This cream can be used all over and has multiple ingredients to renew and moisturize tired skin.

These products may not offer the same results as professional services, such as Botox or cosmetic surgery. They can help to keep your skin fresh and healthy. When combined with professional cosmetic skin treatments, you're likely to take years off your appearance.

2. Boost Skin Health With Antioxidants

Antioxidants are frontrunners for firming skin and fighting the effects of ageing.

Just like the super-foods that are recommended by nutritionists, topical antioxidants have the power to promote skin health. They have been credited for reducing fine lines, creating a smoother appearance, and even skin tone.

Lancome's Energie De Vie Facial Mask is a great do-it-yourself method of pampering skin at home. It soaks up grease and residue and rids your skin of harmful free radicals.

3. Steer Clear of Wrinkles With Retinoids

Retinoids not only minimize the appearance of wrinkles and pores, but this magical ingredient can also keep wrinkles from forming. Like antioxidant-laden products, it clears skins of dirt, grime, and damaging agents.

Since the area surrounding your eyes is often where wrinkles strike first, we suggest using Retinol Fusion PM Eye Cream to fight unsightly dark circles and ward off deep lines.

4. Splurge on a Decadent Serum

Serums don't necessarily qualify as part of the most basic skincare regimen. But, then, when you use a star-studded serum to heal damaged skin, you can get way-better-than-basic results.

When shopping for a serum, go ahead and indulge, especially if you find one that performs double-duty.

Joanna Vargus Supernova Serum comes at a bit of a price. But, once its vitamins, herbs, retinol, and fatty acids go to work on your skin, you'll realize why people say 'beauty doesn't come cheap'.

5. Pucker Up Plumper Lips

Sure, professionally plumped up lips look great and last longer than store-bought brands. But, if you want a fill-in for the dermal fillers used by beauty pros, there are plenty of products on the market today to choose from.

Effective lip plumpers often use a formula to stimulate and gloss lips, giving you the appearance of a fuller pout.

It's hard to believe that products like Idol Lips offer such impressive results from such a tiny tube. But, if you really want lasting lip-service, a cosmetic filler will plump you up for longer.

6. Protect the Skin You're In

Sun damage usually doesn't show up in full force until years after the damage is done. That's why it's critical that you cover skin in a sun-shielding SPF every day.

Luckily, many manufacturers now add SPF to their standard line of products, eliminating the need for an extra step to stay protected from harmful rays.

You can choose a moisturizer, foundation, or primer with SPF. But, any SPF will do as long as its applied generously and covers the exposed areas completely.

Look and Feel Your Best
