TIPS AGAINST WRINKLES & CO.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, intrinsic skin aging (which is largely genetic) can only be influenced to a very limited extent. Extrinsic skin aging (environmental factors and lifestyle that cause the skin to age prematurely), however, can be prevented and slowed down. In other words, we do have a significant influence on how our skin ages and can prevent and reduce signs with effective anti-aging skin care.
THE RIGHT ANTI-AGING CARE
With the right skincare routine, fine lines can be smoothed, wrinkles reduced and skin rejuvenated. An essential part of the anti-aging routine is a weekly exfoliation against dry, sallow skin for a younger appearance. Equally important is the use of an effective moisturizer. A high-quality moisturizer is perhaps the most underrated tip in anti-aging skin care. Dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe has this to say: When the skin is dry, the natural protective barrier is also compromised, leading to minor inflammations. Gradually, these can accelerate collagen breakdown, leading to faster skin aging in the long run. As the skin's natural oil production decreases with age, the amount of water stored in the skin also decreases. Therefore, the use of a suitable moisturizer is essential. For dry skin, a rich formula is particularly effective. Blue Therapy Accelerated Serum anti-aging serum is enriched with the alga of youthfulnessTM. With each application, it reduces the signs of aging, counteracts wrinkles and gives the skin an even, radiant appearance. For particularly intensive care is suitable Blue Therapy Cream in Oil.
USE AN SPF TO PREVENT UV DAMAGE
The most important anti-aging tip for successful skin care is prevention! In fact, UV exposure is one of the most important reasons for premature skin aging, because it leads to wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine was able to show that regular use of sunscreens actually significantly slows down skin aging in healthy middle-aged women and men. So if you're one of those people who only rely on SPF on vacation, you should think about incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine as well.
RELAX
Are you sometimes overwhelmed by the stress of everyday life? Worry and anxiety can accelerate skin aging, but fortunately, there are a few simple measures to relax in between, like meditation, exercise or a shower! Bath Therapy's berry and rosemary flavored Relaxing Blend shower foam calms nerves and leaves skin feeling supple and delicately scented. Essential oils are another easy way to relieve stress. Lavender oil is especially good for relaxing. You can use it in a variety of ways, for example as a room fragrance, for inhalation, or as a bath additive. Before going to bed, it can help you to switch off and fall asleep more quickly. Which brings us to the next tip: beauty sleep.
STIMULATE NOCTURNAL REGENERATION
A rich anti-aging care before going to bed can work wonders. At night is the time when cell regeneration is particularly fast. That's why your skin can process the nutrients from the care especially well now and the best: the right anti-aging cream even stimulates the regeneration further and boosts the collagen synthesis. Thus, you get a natural lifting effect overnight. Integrate retinol into your evening care routine, for example.
Retinol is a famous secret in anti-aging skin care. As a vitamin A derivative, retinol is particularly efficient when it comes to counteracting the signs of skin aging. But how does it actually work? According to Angela Lamb, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, retinoids work by modifying skin cells and accelerating collagen production. The result is a more youthful skin appearance. By increasing cell regeneration, retinol causes the skin's texture to become finer, which in turn makes fine lines appear less pronounced and generally makes the skin look plumper and smoother.
Enriched with A.flos-aquae (also known as blue retinol), Blue Therapy Night is the ideal anti-aging skin care for the evening. The oil-in-water formula shrinks pores and hydrates the skin to prevent dryness, a common complaint of women with mature skin.
SMOOTH YOUR SKIN OVERNIGHT
To further pamper your skin and slow down the aging process, you can apply an anti-age serum before the night cream. Biotherm's Blue Therapy Serum-in-Oil softens fine lines, reduces wrinkles and tightens the skin. The care is enriched with extracts of the regenerating algae species L. Ochroleuca and A. Flos-Aquae, as well as pure thermal plankton. The Blue Therapy trio of active ingredients is completed by pure algae oil. This combination of active ingredients makes the anti-aging care as deeply effective as a serum and as nourishing as an oil.
Another tip for a particularly restful beauty sleep? Get yourself a silk satin pillowcase! This may seem like an unnecessary luxury, but it helps fight facial wrinkles. Unlike coarser fabrics like cotton, flannel, and wool, which promote lines and wrinkles, a satin pillow makes your skin even softer.
USE AN EYE CREAM
Eye creams are an important part of effective anti-aging skin care, and yet numerous women still believe that facial moisturizer does the trick. According to dermatologist Dr. Noelle Sherber, however, the eye area is significantly different from the rest of the facial skin. Thus, signs of skin aging become noticeable here first. This is due in part to the fact that the skin around the eyes is thinner and correspondingly more prone to fine lines and wrinkles or crow's feet. In addition, there are specific challenges, such as dark circles or puffiness.
With an appropriate eye cream, you can efficiently counteract these complaints and do not have to worry about unnecessarily irritating the sensitive skin area. We recommend Blue Therapy Eye. The anti-age eye cream has a gentle and rich texture, specially designed to moisturize the eye area. Not only does it help reduce existing wrinkles and prevent future lines, but it also minimizes dark circles for an even fresher and more awake look.
ANTI-AGING FOOD: PUT ANTIOXIDANTS ON YOUR MENU
We feel younger and look younger when we eat healthy! Certain foods can even affect the skin in a very concrete way, especially if they are rich in antioxidants. These, in fact, protect the skin from the aging process, but also from the negative effects of mental stress and free radicals produced by sunlight, pollutants and environmental toxins. Among the foods with the highest antioxidant content are blueberries - so put them on your diet to smooth fine lines and reduce wrinkles. Goji berries, cranberries and pecans also have antioxidant effects. Less exotic foods like tomatoes, carrots, broccoli and kale are also rich in antioxidants.
Now that you know some secrets and tips from the world of anti-aging skin care, you're ready to go! Include these tips in your daily beauty routine and protect your skin from the signs of aging.
