How to Prevent & Improve Cellular Aging with an Anti-Aging Skincare Routine

As you grow older, changes happen at the cellular level – its processes slow down or lose function. This is what contributes to the outward signs of aging on your skin – wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, sagging skin, dullness, and dryness. Your cells are gradually losing their potential to repair themselves.

The process of aging is complicated by the phenomenon known as differential aging, since not all subjects age at the same rate, nor do all organs and systems of the same subject deteriorate simultaneously.

With a healthy lifestyle and an effective anti-aging skincare routine, you can reduce the signs of cellular aging.

Of course keep in mind all of the classic advice we’re all familiar with:

• Sleep well.
• Eat a balanced diet.
• Protect your skin from sun damage.
• Exercise regularly.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol.

But also incorporate a good skincare regimen with active ingredients that prevent wrinkles. Pick the best anti-aging skincare products that are adapted to heal your biggest skin concerns.

For example, retinol is one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients. It accelerates cellular processes have slowed down and returns skin to an optimal cell renewal rate. Blue Retinol, a combination of 1% Life Plankton and 0.25% Pure Retinol, is especially potent. Biotech Plankton™ known for its regenerative properties, enhances the resurfacing effects of Pure Retinol. Clinically proven, Blue Retinol has 2x the efficacy of Pure Retinol, delivering amplified anti-aging results.

How do you add retinol to your skincare routine?

In the evening, after cleansing your face and neck, hydrate your skin with a pro-retinol infused cream, such as our Blue Pro-Retinol Multi-Correct Cream. It’s powered by pro-retinol as well as Biotech™, a natural living ingredient that reduces wrinkles and improves radiance.

Why use retinol at night?

Because cell renewal is carried out most effectively while we sleep. Using these powerful active ingredients, such as Blue Retinol and Biotech Plankton™ at night gives them time to work their magic so you can wake up with glowy, beautiful skin.

Why does cellular aging occur?

It’s something that is linked to the passing of time. It is a law of life as we say.

But just as we want to age in good health, we want our skin to look young and healthy for longer and to delay the signs of cellular aging as much as possible.

Cellular aging has external causes – such as from sun damage and pollution. Both of these factors accelerate the cellular aging processes.

However, just as we can protect ourselves from solar radiation with a high SPF, we can also eliminate the affect that pollution microparticles has on our skin.

How?

By cleansing twice daily with a gentle cleanser that effectively washes away impurities, while protecting the skin barrier. A cleanser such as the Cera Cleanser Cream to Foam uses ceramides and a unique cream to foam texture that gently pulls away the day’s impurities without drying it out.

Removing impurities helps improve cell renewal, while also smoothing the skin's surface. Top it off with an anti-aging serum such as the Life Plankton Regenerating Serum to double down on improving the signs of cellular aging.

What factors affect cell renewal?

As time goes by, cells renew themselves more slowly. Their optimal cell renewal cycle is 28 days, but with the passing of time these cycles become longer. While some of the process of cellular aging is inevitable, you can prevent the visible signs of aging and delay the process with the right lifestyle and skincare regimen.

As we mentioned before, a key ingredient for maintaining a good cell renewal rate and delaying these cellular aging processes is Retinol, both pure and in its more stable form, Pro-Retinol.

Proper daily cleansing also helps those dead cells to be removed properly, making way for new cells to shine through.

Keeping your skin hydrated and supple with a dense dermis in good health also helps the skin processes to develop normally. Look for a moisturizer infused with hyaluronic acid, an active ingredient that locks in moisture and helps fix rough, dry patches. Our Aquasource Hyalu Plump Gel is a great daytime anti-aging that gives you plumper and more glowing skin.

And of course, protect your skin barrier by using gentle cleansers that don’t strip your skin.

After consistent use, you’ll see positive changes to your skin after around 28 days, not only on an aesthetic level, but also better quality skin that’s capable of self-repairing and continuing to delay the signs of cellular aging.

How to prevent cellular aging

Cellular aging is different for each person, there are genetic reasons that cause it to appear sooner or later in some people.

What is cellular aging? A clear sign of cellular aging is the loss of water. Hyaluronic acid production is lower, which is why this ingredient is so key in your daily moisturizer – it locks in moisture for longer.

Your lifestyle is a major contributing factor to how healthy your skin looks. Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration, eat a diet rich in antioxidants, get quality rest, and consistent exercise.

At Biotherm, we have products with dermatological ingredients that are enhanced by our exclusive Biotech Plankton™ ingredient to offer specific solutions for the needs of all skin types. We can prevent the visible signs of cellular aging with our power duo: Blue Pro-Retinol Multi-Correct Cream and Blue Retinol Night Serum.

Be sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle and consistently use an effective anti-aging skincare routine that targets the signs of cellular aging. With these two methods combined, you’ll be well on your way to maintaining a healthy, radiant skin texture for years to come.
