Lockdown restrictions have meant having to take at
home beauty more seriously. There’s a lot to be said for
taking on a little more of the anti-ageing responsibility
ourselves – like a weekly exfoliation to encourage collagen
regeneration. Look out for the Solal Exfoliating Mask, IQ White
Tea and Clay Face Mask, Nivea Q10 Power 10 Minute Sheet
Mask or Skin Strategy Anti-Ageing Face Mask.
While you’re at it, think of investing in beauty tools
that are useful for contouring and sculpting or building
firmness to counteract sagging and fine lines. They’re
also credited with other desirable skin benefits such
as detoxification, aiding the absorption of products
and relaxing tense facial muscles. Enjoy the relaxing
benefits of a facial massage in the comfort of your own home
with the DQUIP Sonic Eye device or treat yourself to a facial at
your nearest Skin Strategy Salon. Apart from doing a great job,
they observe all the necessary protocols to keep you safe.
Regenerative skincare continues to play a leading role in helping
to minimise the visible signs of ageing, some products tackle early
ageing and others the more developed signs of ageing. The
earlier you start taking care of your skin with a full range of
the basics and ensuring you create and adhere to the twice
daily routine, the better your chance of ageing gracefully.
Remember to check the key ingredients list and ask questions
relating to products you think may be suitable. The Dis‑Chem
beauty consultants are knowledgeable across all the brands and
price points, never feel intimidated or too shy to ask for assistance.
To help steer you in the right direction of anti-ageing, “better, not
younger” skincare, here are a few alternative suggestions to get you
started:
· Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine, Clarins Nutri-Lumière,
Sensai Lifting Radiance, PAYOT Supreme Jeunesse or
Rose Collagene, Gatineau Collagene Expert, BioNike
Defence Elixage, Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist, Avène
Hydrance Intense, Uriage Age Protect, IQ UltraRich and
L’Oréal Revitalift or Age Perfect.
It would be remiss if we didn’t visit supplementation,
especially if you’re fatigued and it’s reflecting on your
skin. A gentle reminder that supplementation is more
effective when absorbed from relevant food groups
rather than OTC options. Remember, preserving good
gut health is also crucial to skin health. Apart from our extensive
range of vitamin supplements, for skin-specific health benefits try
Collagen Lift Paris ampoules (taken with water) or Imedeen, either
their Prime Renewal or Time Perfection tablets.
We hope you feel inspired to put your best face forward and to
embrace the notion that skin ageing is not to be feared. Character
trumps perfection because it’s authentic beauty, make peace with it
and wear it well.
