Anti-aging skin care routines are a must for healthy-looking skin, and it’s never too early to get started. Allow us to break down the anti-aging skincare steps you need to follow.
Believe it or not, it’s never too early to start thinking about putting together an anti-aging skin care routine. And while it’s easy to believe that mature skin corners the market on anti-aging skin care, the earlier you start, the better. In fact, there are certain steps you can take—and skin care products you can use—that will actually help reduce the look of early signs of aging (i.e., fine lines and wrinkles) and protect against certain visible aging cues. Below, find nine anti-aging steps you can incorporate into your skin care routine starting right now.
STEP #1
USE A DETOX CLEANSER
In the morning, squeeze the facial cleanser into your hands and add water to transform it from clay to mousse. Gently massage the facial cleanser onto your face in circular motions, avoiding your delicate eye area. Then, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
STEP #2
DON’T SHY AWAY FROM EXFOLIATION
As for what to exfoliate with? You can’t go wrong with a face scrub! Try using the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Nourish & Soften Cocoa Scrub, the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Smooth & Glow Grapeseed Scrub, L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Purify & Unclog Kiwi Scrub, or L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Resurface & Energize Kona Coffee Scrub. All of which are formulated with three-pure sugars that effectively remove dirt, oil, and debris from skin for a smooth and polished finish.
To use, smooth a small amount of your face scrub of choice with dry fingers onto clean, dry skin. Massage the face scrub over your face with wet fingers, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
STEP #3
MAKE FACE SERUM YOUR BFF
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Want to up the ante on hydration? This face serum is just the ticket! Formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, this serum absorbs quickly to help replenish the skin’s protective moisture barrier for a radiant appearance. And in just two weeks, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, leaving you with visibly plumped skin.
To use, smooth two to three drops gently over your freshly cleansed face and neck until thoroughly absorbed. Use morning and night for desired results.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum: Formulated with 10% pure vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, this serum boosts radiance and neutralizes free radicals that lead to skin aging. We also love that this formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free, dye-free, allergy tested, and non-comedogenic allowing it to be super gentle on your skin.
To use, every morning and evening, apply a dime-sized amount to your fingertips and smooth over the face and neck, making sure to avoid the eye area. In the a.m., be sure to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen for maximum sun protection.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum, 0.3% Pure Retinol: Determined to reduce the appearance of visible signs of aging? It’s time to get acquainted with this retinol serum. Formulated with our highest concentration of pure retinol, this potent offering fights key signs of aging like wrinkles and works to smooth and brighten your complexion for a luminous finish.
To use, start by applying two to three drops to clean dry skin twice a week during the first week. Week two, use every other night. Week three, use nightly if your skin can tolerate it. In the a.m., follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect skin.
STEP #4
MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE
STEP #5
DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR NECK
TIP #6
ADD AN EYE CREAM TO YOUR REGIMEN
Apply it in small dots around your eye and pat—don’t rub—it in until absorbed, morning and night. When you’re applying eye cream, be gentle, as the skin around your eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. Too much tugging could have an adverse effect—potentially causing wrinkles.
STEP #7
WEAR BROAD-SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN DAILY
The Food and Drug Administration recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and reapplying it every two hours. There are other steps you can take to stay sun-safe as well. Try to avoid the sun during peak hours (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), wear UV-blocking sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat, and seek shade as much as possible—especially if you are out during those peak hours.
Sunscreen should be the final step in your morning skin care routine, after facial cleanser, toner, face serum, and moisturizer. However, if you want to pare down your routine, reach for a moisturizer formulated with broad-spectrum sunscreen—just remember to reapply every two hours.
The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Day Moisturizer SPF 30 is formulated with glycolic acid, vitamin C, and Pro-Retinol, in addition to broad-spectrum SPF 30. Not only does it help protect against the sun’s aging UVA/UVB rays, but the hydrating moisturizer also works to correct the look of dull, uneven tone. Immediately after using skin will look brighter, while dull, uneven tone is renewed with continued use over time.
STEP #8
USE A PEEL PAD AT NIGHT
Just smooth a pad gently over cleansed skin before bed. Since alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, be (extra) sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning and take those other sun protection measures we told you about earlier.
