Aging is a natural part of life and, with the right practices and products, can be accomplished gracefully. Our skin performs a number of jobs day in and day out. It should come as no surprise that our faces, hands, and decolletage will show some signs of life passing by. However, there are numerous ways to minimize the impact of skin aging and slow down its visible signs so you can get and maintain youthful skin.

Before starting any new skincare regimen, it’s crucial that you know your skin type and understand how to best take care of it. If you don’t know your skin type yet, consult with your dermatologist, or find an experienced, qualified esthetician with our spa locator. Oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin all require different techniques to keep them healthy, youthful, and vibrant.
Your anti-aging beauty regimen must start with a proper cleanse. Depending on your skincare needs, you’ll need to source a face scrub or cleanser that works best for you. If breakouts are your problem, you may need to use a stronger acne-fighting cleanser. If dryness is your problem, maybe a cleansing milk or cream-to-oil cleanser is better than washes with AHAs like glycolic acid. When not dealt with, both skincare issues can cause premature aging.
Contrary to popular belief, using the right toner doesn’t strip the skin of its moisture. We create toners that hydrate and cleanse at the same time, so you can combat dirt and grime while nourishing depleted skin cells. Using the right toner that works with your skin’s natural defenses helps remove excess dirt, grime, and makeup while replenishing your skin with antioxidants.
Serums and boosters help increase the efficacy of your skincare products and foster a more even skin tone. Ones with vitamin C, peptides, or retinol can actively encourage youthful skin by minimizing the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles.

As your skin goes through various aging phases, dryness, acne, and other skin issues may fluctuate in severity. For example, as women experience menopause, they also experience a host of skin changes, including irritation, a decline in sebum production, and a loss of collagen production.
There is no doubt about it - the sun’s harmful UV rays spur on the aging process and cause skin cancer. It is the most damaging thing that we can put our skin through and we are exposed to it almost every day. The first step in maintaining youthful skin is wearing a daily sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and applying more when you plan on spending additional time in the sun.
There are plenty of practices to implement into your routine and there are others you must avoid.
Wash your face nightly, removing your make-up before going to bed. Heavy foundations, eye-shadows, and blush can dry out skin, increase irritation, and zap the cells of nutrients. Take off your make-up with a gentle remover, like our Essential Micellar Water. Micellar molecules are a mild surfactant, separating water from oil and carrying the oil away so we are left with fresh, clean skin.
The blue light from our myriad screens inhibits our body’s circadian rhythm, interrupting our sleep cycles, increasing our appetites, and ramping up stress or anxiety. A lack of sleep, bad diet, and stress are quickly reflected in our skin, causing us to appear aged. Meditation improves beauty and is one of the easiest ways to reset our systems. Incorporate meditation into your daily or weekly routine to reap its beauty benefits.
Talk to your dermatologist to find out how much exfoliation you should do on a weekly basis. Use a gentle exfoliator that doesn’t scratch or tear sensitive skin, as this can be a sure-fire way to expedite the aging of skin. Essential Scrub. Silica particles easily exfoliate away the grime, and build up of the day while jojoba oil replenishes whatever natural moisture gets zapped.
Sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine - all can degrade the quality of our skin and impact a youthful appearance. As our skin cells try to keep up in eliminating toxins, copying, and regenerating, they can seriously grow weary and lose their elasticity.
It’s never too early to start implementing practices that contribute to a youthful appearance. Staying out of the sun, drinking water, and eating a healthy diet are foundational habits that will contribute to an overall youthful appearance and feel.
