CRÈME DE LA CRÈME: THE BEST IN ANTI-AGEING SKINCARE

Anti-ageing skincare requires a holistic approach from start to finish. If you are looking at giving the best care for your skin, then it’s best to pay attention to every step of skin routine, from cleansing to religiously applying sunscreen, every day, even when you are staying indoors.

There is also a need to pay attention to delicate areas, especially around the eyes as the skin is much thinner and any damage caused by any kind of aggression will show faster.

 One of the best eye creams you can get your hands on is the Eve Lom Time Retreat Eye Treatment which comes highly concentrated in a formula to target and fade fine lines and wrinkles, while illuminating and balancing skin tone.

Fortified with Liposome Encapsulated Retinol, this rich cream is absorbed deeply into skin to plump and firm, creating a fresh, smooth look. Oat kernel extract improves elasticity while Soy Isoflavones lifts and tightens, for wholesome care for the eyes.

For the rest of the face, the Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum is a global best-seller, loved by skincare users worldwide. With its patented combination of resveratrol, hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen booster, it corrects wrinkles and smooths facial contours thanks to its high concentration of vine resveratrol.

It’s a natural product, with more than 97 per cent made of natural origin ingredients. It's also oil-free and its silky texture melts into the skin without leaving a greasy finish. Its aromatic complex leaves the skin lightly fragranced with notes of basil, lemongrass, chamomile, thyme and orange blossom.

Moisturising is supremely important for anti-ageing skincare, to seal moisture and keep skin supple. If you have to splurge on one anti-ageing product, then a top-of-the-line moisturiser, like Augustinus Bader The Cream or Rich Cream, is your best bet. The product comes in two textures, depending on the needs of your skin.

The Cream is an ultra-lightweight, instantly hydrating cream that stimulates the skin’s natural process of rejuvenation to dramatically transform the complexion and replenish moisture for a vibrant, healthy radiance and firmer, smoother appearance. Suitable for combination to oily skin types, it leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soothed in humid climate.

Formulated with aloe vera, it’s rich in antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins A, B, C and E help to protect skin from free-radicals. Rich Cream is an intensely luxurious, super hydrator that stimulates the skin’s natural processes of rejuvenation to dramatically improve the complexion’s appearance, for normal to dry skin types. This one has replenishing argan, avocado and evening primrose oils, rich in omega 6 fatty acids and anti-oxidants, to help to protect skin from free-radicals

Finally, never, ever skip sunscreen. A good wrinkle cream cannot replace sunscreen, which protects skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays, air pollution and dirt. Caudalie Vinosun Protect Very High Lightweight Cream SPF50+ protects face and neck from UVA/UVB while providing antioxidant action even to the most sensitive skin.

Invisible, ultra-light and fragrance-free, this one adopts clean protection without the weight and white streak.
