I never thought that my skin would look dull and saggy in my late 20s until my recent online meetings.

My skin has lost the glow it deserves and therefore looking at my face on the screen upsets me. Acknowledging the fact that my skin is getting drier and saggy, I know that my skin now has its different needs.

I decided to start a proper skincare routine that addresses my skin’s shifting needs. I wish to care and feel good about my skin.

Here are what I have discovered and tested to make both you and I feel good about our skin.

Anti-ageing Skincare Routine #1: Wash With A Gentle Cleanser

Keeping ourselves well-rested is one of the keys to keeping our skin looking youthful. However, as we balance between work and family life, having enough rest might not be a daily option. When we are tired, our skin tends to show the signs.

To revive our skin instantly, daily cleansing is a must. As we cleanse our skin, it helps to gently remove impurities like natural skin oils, pollutants, and bacteria.

If you are uncertain about which cleanser is suitable for you, here’s some guide that you can refer to.

Foam cleansers are great for oily and acne-prone skin as the cleansers can go deep into your pores to get rid of the impurities. On the other hand, gel cleansers are great for normal to dry skin as the cleansers are water based. They are less likely to dry out your skin.

Anti-ageing Skincare Routine #2: Moisturise Your Skin

Having dull and saggy skin is the result of losing skin elasticity. As we grow older, the process of cell turnover gets slower. Our skin becomes drier too as we are exposed to the sun, heat and air-conditioning.

Dry or dehydrated skin can also lead to dull skin with more pronounced fine lines. Thus, it is essential to drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day. When you keep your body hydrated, it will help to keep your skin firm and moisturised from the inside.

So, keep reminding yourself to drink more water even before you are thirsty. Next, you should apply moisturiser regularly to add hydration and boost your skin’s moisture level.

An effective moisturiser supports healthy skin and allows the dermis layers to be renewed consistently. In this way, our skin does not only stay smooth with less noticeable wrinkles, but it helps to keep it firm and plump!

Anti-ageing Skincare Routine #3: Apply Sunscreen Daily

This is one of the most unexpected skincare steps that I used to look lightly on. I occasionally apply sunscreen during my skincare routine, and I only apply whenever I am out during hot sunny weather.

After looking at the fact, I am shocked.

80% of the causes of aging comes from the exposure to UV rays.

UV-A waves which penetrate into the deeper skin layers destroys the collagen and elastin. Guess what, we need both these essential proteins for skin firmness.

Not only that the sun contributes to our exposure to UV rays, but long screen time with blue-light emitting devices also exposes us to UV radiation.

Therefore, besides moisturising your skin regularly, applying sunscreen is a MUST for firmer, smoother and youthful-looking skin. Always opt for a sunscreen product with an SPF30 PA+++ (or higher) to protect your skin against the harm of UV exposure.

Anti-ageing Skincare Routine #4: Make Antioxidant A Staple

What happens to the top layer of our skin when we age? It starts to thin a little with the lack of elastin. This is when we start to see natural creases and laugh lines around our face.

The situation worsens as we are exposed to radiation, pollution and diets high in fat, sugar and processed food. These further breaks down collagen and hinder the natural repairing process of our skin. You will then see fine lines, wrinkles and loose skin.

We should first look into reviewing our dietary habits. While reducing the consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, we should opt for food high in antioxidants like broccoli, blueberries, legumes, green tea and bird’s nest.

Besides eating well, choosing the right serum to incorporate into your skincare routine and applying it consistently is also important to ensure you stay youthful inside and out! Moreover, serums are formulated to absorb deep into layers of skin targeting to solve specific skin concerns.
