Anti-Ageing skincare is big, big news.

So many of the clients we see here in our Wexford clinic, from twenty-somethings concerned with prevention, to those who have already begun to show the effects of years of cumulative damage in the form of lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and loss of radiance has anti-ageing on their mind.

Here, I will explore the top ingredients/products for getting, and keeping, a youthful complexion.

You CAN reverse the signs of ageing, even better, prevent them!

It is a good time to be working in the skincare industry now as we have so many tools at our disposal in the form of highly active skincare ingredients and fantastic technology  that can give excellent results without invasive procedures.

Until fairly recently it was not possible to achieve such impactful results on existing signs of ageing without surgery or injectables. My favourite thing about all the new scientific breakthroughs is that today’s anti-ageing technology allows you to turn back the clock but still look like you!

In terms of ingredients you NEED to be using on your skin to slow down and reverse signs of ageing, here are my top five hero actives.

(let’s assume you are already using a daily SPF, ok?)

  • Vitamin A – this is the number one superstar ingredient needed in your anti-ageing arsenal. With decades of published research and clinical studies behind it, it is proven beyond a doubt to reduce lines, wrinkles and age spots while also preventing new ones from forming.
  • Epidermal Growth Factor – this does what it says on the tin, aids in the proliferation of epidermal cells and cellular communication, resulting in a thicker, stronger epidermis that protects you better from the environment and looks more even.
  • Ceramides/other essential lipids – ceramides, cholesterol and other essential fatty acids are absolutely crucial in maintaining the integrity of the skin layers and membranes for as long as possible. Without this foundation of healthy skin cell structure, no other product, ingredient or treatment is going to give you full impact.

Along with making sure that you have these ingredients in your daily skincare routine, you must ensure that you are REMOVING inflammatory agents from your routine.

(Remember, inflammation = premature ageing).

The most common culprits are listed below but this is by no means a full list, if you have any questions please give us a call on 053 9145981 or email info@skinessentialsbymariga.com and we can help advise you.

Inflammatory agents to AVOID:

  • Perfume
  • Alcohol (when it appears a a stand-alone name, particularly near the top of the list)
  • Sodium laurel/laureth sulphate/sulphate
  • Over exfoliation of any kind (scrubs, acids, exfoliation treatments). 1-2 times per month is plenty for most skin types, once a week for very congestion-prone or sluggish/smokers skin. (For dull/sluggish skin C&E Advanced Skin Booster is a mush-have weekly natural exfoliation & vitamin booster.
