Most skincare experts would likely agree that sunscreen, a quality moisturiser, and a well-formulated serum, are the three most effective anti-ageing weapons that should form part of everyone's daily skincare routine.
Here's how to build anti-ageing skincare into your daily routine:
SUN PROTECTION
Apart from general measures of minimising sun exposure such as wearing hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing when exposure is unavoidable, always include daily sunscreen as part of your daily skincare routine regardless of whether sun exposure is expected or not.
Daily use and why
Sunscreen should be applied every day — even on cloudy days because UVA rays are just as strong when it’s overcast, and they can easily penetrate through glass while you’re driving or sitting by a window. Unlike UVB, which causes sunburn, UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and is the main UV band responsible for premature skin ageing.
Broad spectrum
Choose a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays contribute to premature ageing, while UVB rays are more responsible for sunburn and skin cancers.
SPF 50+
Opt for a sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher for the best possible protection.
Water resistance
If you'll be swimming or sweating, look for a water-resistant sunscreen and reapply as directed on the product label.
Dr Mayson's 7/AM Hydrating Facial SPF50+ not only meets all the above recommendations, it also hydrates and provides a perfect base for makeup.
MOISTURISERS
Hydration is key
Choose a high-quality moisturiser that will hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
Hyaluronic acid is a super-hydrator
Top hydrating moisturisers contain TWO forms of hyaluronic acid: Low Molecular Weight HA to deliver deep, long-lasting hydration PLUS Mid-to-High Molecular Weight HA to lock in surface moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. This dual-action approach optimises hydration, leaving skin plump, smooth, and replenished.
Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
Hydrated skin appears plumper, which in turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
