Anti-aging: 6 tips to adopt in your beauty routine to slow down skin aging

To preserve your skin's radiance and youthfulness, it's important to take care of your skin's vitality. This involves several simple habits and actions. In this article, we share our 6 anti-aging tips to incorporate into your beauty routine right away.

 

The causes of skin aging

Although it is natural, skin aging depends on different factors.

It is first and foremost linked to the nature and genetics of each individual: Over the years, cell renewal slows down, the tissues of the epidermis retain water less and less well: the skin becomes loose, dries out, wrinkles and fine lines appear. The contours of the face change.

The environment is also a factor in the degradation of the dermis. Excessive sun, stress, and pollution affect skin cells and are responsible for the spread of free radicals (natural oxidizing agents responsible for skin aging).

Lifestyle habits, such as alcohol and coffee consumption, smoking, or excessive sugar intake, also have a direct impact on the appearance and health of the skin. The skin then loses its elasticity and radiance.

A poor skincare routine can also alter the appearance of your skin. It's important to prioritize natural and organic skincare products that are better absorbed by the skin and free of certain chemicals that are harmful to your skin's health.

 

What daily routine should you adopt to protect your skin from skin aging?

With the right skincare routine and effective products, it is possible to reduce the signs of aging and slow down skin aging.

Tip #1 : Choose treatments based on anti-aging active ingredients

The first step is to apply daily to the face and body treatments containing active ingredients with anti-aging properties such as white tea or plant-based hyaluronic acid.

• White tea: a powerful antioxidant and anti-aging ally

  Recent scientific studies have demonstrated the benefits of white tea as an anti-aging ingredient compared to 23 other plant extracts. Its very high polyphenol content presents an impressive level of collagen and elastase.

  Good to know : Collagen and elastase are two proteins naturally produced by the body: they help make the skin more supple, elastic, and radiant. However, their production begins to decline from around the age of 25. Incorporating white tea into your daily routine can help counteract the first anti-aging effects and restore hydration, suppleness, and radiance to the skin.

• Plant hyaluronic acid

  This anti-aging active ingredient has been recognized for many years for its hydrating and plumping properties. It helps maintain a high level of hydration by retaining water in cells and therefore preventing the appearance of early wrinkles.

Tip #2 : Activate cell renewal by exfoliating your skin

Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week helps remove dead skin cells and thus optimizes the penetration of active ingredients during subsequent treatments. This also helps the epidermis form a protective barrier against external aggressions and therefore fights against imperfections. It also acts to prevent wrinkles because it promotes the regeneration of the epidermis while preserving the elasticity and firmness of the tissues.

Our recommendation : the milky texture of the Léonia White Tea Scrub provides the skin with the benefits of exfoliation combined with the virtues of plant oils that are beneficial for the epidermis.

Tip #3 : Vegetable oil, a weapon against wrinkles

Dry skin is often the primary source of discomfort in mature skin. Applying plant oils daily helps maintain a good level of nutrition in the dermis and compensate for lipid deficiencies.

Our selection : Léonia Oil is composed of White Tea Oil and a complex of 6 noble oils renowned for their anti-aging properties: safflower, camellia, argan, apricot, sweet almond, and borage. Rich in fatty acids, they provide comfort as well as nutrients essential for the elasticity of the epidermis and its protection. Massaging your skin while applying vegetable oils also accelerates cell renewal and protects against aging and oxidation.

Tip #4 : Cleanse your skin every day

Cleansing your skin morning and night is an essential part of an anti-aging routine. Indeed, well-cleansed skin no longer has to defend itself against pollutants and irritants that can remain on the surface (pollution particles, toxins, etc.).

The cleansing step prepares the skin to receive specific treatments that will work deeper into the dermis, provided you choose a gentle cleansing gel. Indeed, this type of cleansing gel respects the skin's barrier and therefore leaves it more comfortable, protected from tightness.

Tip #5 : Anti-aging serum, the essential treatment

As mentioned above, white tea has undeniable anti-aging properties. Incorporating a White Tea serum into your daily routine is therefore highly recommended to combat the signs of aging. Enriched with White Tea extracts and plant-based hyaluronic acid, Léonia Radiance Booster & Antioxidant Serum provides the skin with anti-aging, radiance, hydration, and anti-pollution protection.

Tip #6 : Facial massage, an anti-aging gesture

Many women tend to apply their cream from top to bottom. However, this simple gesture causes the collagen in the epidermal tissues to sink. Wrinkles can then appear more prematurely. Applying your cream from bottom to top is therefore one of the first key anti-aging steps.

Performing a facial massage for 3 minutes every day also contributes to skin renewal and blood circulation. To find our advice on facial massage, visit our article: https://leonia-cosmetiques.com/blogs/journal/masser-son-visage-un-geste-beaute-a-adopter
