1. Understand how you contribute to expedited aging & see which of these practices can be avoided

Of course, we know for a fact that with age, our skin tends to wrinkle. But we inadvertently too cause our skin to age quicker than expected, here's how:

a) Hampering skin’s microbiome

A hampered skin microbiome means an impaired skin barrier! But what is a skin microbiome, you may ask. The skin microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, that reside on the skin's surface. These microorganisms play an important role in maintaining skin health by protecting against harmful pathogens, aiding in the immune response, and maintaining the skin barrier.

So, now you might wonder how you’ve somehow contributed to its deterioration, right?

Apart from the way your skin is influenced by environmental factors like pollution and sunlight, or by your lifestyle choices and habits, there are some common mistakes we tend to make:

• Harsh Skincare Products: Overuse of products with strong detergents, alcohols, and acids can strip the skin of its natural oils and beneficial bacteria.

  
  

• Over-Exfoliation: Frequent exfoliation can damage the skin barrier and disturb the microbial balance.

  
  

• So, gentle yet effective skincare is a must!

2. Get the right ingredients for YOUR skin to ensure gentle YET effective results

The importance of targeted-ness in skincare needs to be spoken of more often. Especially when it comes to wrinkles and lines on the more delicate parts of your body, like your forehead, cheek and lip skin. The recommendations you'll get to reduce wrinkles will always range from options like retinoids, injections to chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing. Though you might think the chances of "success" with these will always be higher, but is redness, scabbing, swelling, skin-barrier deterioration, increased sensitivity of the skin really success? That's what these methods have to offer!

For thinning, aging skin that's anyway more susceptible to the harms of harsh chemicals than ever, you need healthy, clean and toxin-free ingredients that are proportionately amalgamated to gently and effectively reduce the look of wrinkles and lines, even if they're on the more delicate parts of your face (like your cheek skin and lip skin).
