Serums are a game changer for our daily home care routine. They contain a higher concentration of active ingredients to really target your specifc concerns. When it comes to concerns of ageing, there is some good news - anti-ageing serums can be used as both a preventive approach or reparative so if you are concerned with ageing yet haven't started to notice some changes, now is a great time to start. In the flip side, if you asre showing some sings of ageing, an anti-ageing serum will help slow down these changes in your skin.
Why do we age?
Lets firslty look at the reasons that ageing occurs in our skin. There are 2 factors:
- Intrinsic Ageing - known as chronological ageing - this is unavoidable and genetically detemrined. It a process that naturally occurs to all of us counts for 50% of how we age.
- Extrinsic Ageing - This ageing counts for the other 50% of the ageing that happens in our skin. This part involves all the external facotrs around us: our lifestyle, the environment we live in, our stress levels, diet, pollution, and lack of sleep.
So in a nutshell, it makes perfect sense to incorporate a targeted serum to help slow down the effects of ageing...even if you arent showing the signs yet of ageing.
What does ageing look like on our skin?
Ageing can appear in many different ways on the skin:

There can be many reasons we get breakouts as adults with the main reasons being chronic stress, adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances. These breakouts can then lead to premature skin ageing.
One of the furstrating things about breakouts as adults, is the marks that are left behind. This is called Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and its a common concern. It creates dark marks that can remain after a breakout has cleared. This not only prolongs the stressful experience of having adult acne, it causes uneven skin tone that accelerates the appearance of premature skin aging.
- Time-Released Retinol (Vitamin A) helps increase skin resilience and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
- Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid, reduces breakouts to clear skin. Argan, Rosehip Seed, and Golden Jojoba oils deliver lightweight, skin-friendly phytoactive lipids to soothe and nourish skin
