good morning if you're an Lea here so today I'm so excited to continue our antiaging series if you guys haven't watched my previous video please do so because we go through a really really important diet tips lifestyle tips and also very very crucial and essential fundamental skincare habits as always prevention is going to be way way WAY easier and much better than reversing what has been already damaged in today's video we are gonna talk about when and how to start anti-aging and what your skincare routine should look like for every age group so let's get started again our skin is an ever-changing living working it knows how to regulate rejuvenate repair and also it regenerates new skin cells every single day it knows how to push away that skin cells every single day however this process dysfunction will slow down with biological aging and also your lifestyle your diet whatever you're doing with your skin care so that's when your skin care products come in to support this process to kind of push your skin cells to do its job when it comes to anti-aging skin care routine there are three main strategies that you can consider first prevention second maintenance and third reversal in your teenagers all the way up to early 20s your skin is already very very awesomely independent so you might not need a lot of support from skin care products but I think it's also a really prime time for you to form really good skin care habits look for simple formulas that are gentle mild enough that you can use every single day Vic to the very core series which is going to be cleanser moisturizer and sunscreen and I will be going through each steps so that you know what to look for cleansing the most fundamental rule when it comes to cleansing is to be as gentle as possible in my teenagers I think the number one skincare mistake that I always made on a daily basis was really going at it attacking abusing and aggressively cleansing with a really stripping alkaline foamy cleanser I ended up damaging my skin barrier I with the driest skin ever and I thought that was the way to go to keep my skin clear but now we know that is not true we want to protect our skin barrier as much as possible to prevent the signs of aging and cleanser is inevitably the most skin barrier damaging product we want to choose a cleanser that is really really gentle on your skin that in fact leaves your skin really plump supple and hydrated after wash and ideally that is close to your skin's natural pee doesn't need to be fancy it doesn't meet to be expensive something like crave Beauty matcha him hydrating cleanser or a drugstore option like Vani cream gel cleanser if you are in Muji store definitely check out their face soap from the sensitive skin range the mile range step number two is to properly moisturize I know it is very very easy to neglect this moisturizing stuff especially in your teenagers because your receive in production is going out of the roof at the moment our skin feels the most comfortable in repairing rejuvenating and regulating on its own in a really well hydrated environment so your moisturizer doesn't need to be really thick or buttery or waxy at all she's a really lightweight gel moisturizers that you feel the most comfortable wearing some amazing products that I could highly vouch for is active house soon-jong gel cream Muji also has really good ones and so does Neutrogena hydro boost line step number three started protecting and stopped baking apply really really good broad-spectrum daily sunscreen that you feel the most comfortable in applying every single thing please repeat after me I will apply my sunscreen every single day and write this down somewhere in your bathroom if you do need that physical daily reminder and without a doubt a lot of skincare experts including dermatologist biologist estheticians and even your mom would agree with me the most cost effective and the best anti-aging skin care product is going to be sunscreen that's simply because the UV damage is going to be the number one cause when it comes to skin aging but it damages our skin in multiple different love - let's learn about the two main UV radiations that affect our skin if there is UVA and UVB UVB is the one that intensely birds our skin especially in summer times especially on really sunny day it has a shorter wavelength so it reaches our epidermis which is the top layer of the skin however the power it's very very intense then there is UVA which is more associated with skin aging this has a longer wavelengths that it's present all year round even in winter even on cloudy and rainy days and it is able to penetrate the glass or the window so it's actually present indoors - also UVA penetrates deeper into our skin reaching the lower level or the mid level of skin called dermis and dermis is where it decides our skin bounciness basically because it has collagen protein and elastin fibers and all of that when you're looking for a sunscreen make sure it is broad spectrum or it has a really good UVA protection as well and we want to apply at least SPF of 30 on a daily basis the best sunscreen ever is something that will encourage you to apply every single day and everyone has different preference when it comes to sunscreen texture and just some ingredients I will leave my product recommendation down below which will include my favorite crave beauty beat the Sun and of course elta MD UV clear SPF 46 clinic my no sunscreen is also an amazing option but yes feel free to test out and try and explore your own options now we're moving on to our late 20s and early 30s this is the time where you will start feeling some physical biological changes and this is when I start noticing my metabolism slowing down significantly even though I was eating the same amount of food I was just becoming rounder and rounder so that's when I started working out and going to the gym and trying to maintain this bodily function to not like drop so we are entering maintenance mode we're trying to balance out what is slowly missing was once present in our skin but again it doesn't need to be too extreme or too crazy or too harsh or intense in this stage we might need a little bit more hydration so look for a really really good humectant ingredient humectants are basically like water magnets they just draw moisture Dorf draw hydration from the air from your skincare products and from your skin to make sure the top layer of their skin is really supple and nicely hydrated cumec does include glycerin hyaluronic acid sodium Halloran 8 and a lot of really great natural moisturizing factors that your skin already produce those are really good ingredients to look for in skin care products you are really diligent and hydrating and well nourishing and well protecting your skin you might not need to introduce retinol or other active ingredients at this stage yet my favorite hydrating product include LaRoche was a yellow b5 serie Bioderma hydra Pio serum and also the ink ulis poly glutamic acid is a really great serum too next we have anti oxidants one of my favorite ingredient groups to not only include in my skincare routine but also consume and deposit in my body a lot especially if you are someone who lived in such a developed metropolitan city that has little to no green space such as New York where a soul or Hong Kong you are exposing your skin to a lot of great external stressors that can stress out your skin cause free radicals including toxins radiation and stress I like incorporating antioxidant rich product such as primera alpha and berry water cream or primera miracle seed essence for an affordable option the Incubus coq10 is also a really really great and gentle option if you are venturing out to this Gourevitch acid the vitamin C game which is definitely one of the hands-down the best antioxidant ingredient in skin care you can go for something like drunk elephant c firma you know what Department slows down as we age exfoliation department our skin naturally regenerates new healthy skin cells every single day pushing away that that skin cells so that our skin maintains that really plump and useful look how where this process gets to kind of slow down ear by ear that's why we feel like our skin appears more dull in complexion and our skincare products aren't absorbing really well your makeup doesn't really sit well so I think this is a really good time to start your chemical exfoliation game by incorporating some alpha hydroxy acid and alpha hydroxy acids are basically chemical exfoliants that unglued that that skin cell bonds that kind of makes your skin easier to push away that that skin cell so when it's renewing on its own exfoliation it does get addictive include assets only when you really really need it my favorite is definitely going to be crave PT kala lujah 5.25% of like colic acid if that is a lot I think you can go for it lactic acid formulas someday Riley good genes has a really really good one the ordinary recently launched mandelic acid 10% and mandala acid is known to be the biggest molecule in the AAA games so it offers a really great gentle exfoliation if you are willing to try the fruit enzyme peel that's also a really great option as well the beauty pie offers a really great fruit enzyme paste next step protect your skin barrier more than ever our skin is more than half of fat and that is a good thing our natural fats on our skin which is actually a part of our moisture barrier or a skin barrier that includes ceramide cholesterol and fatty acids those are the components that will protect our skin from losing hydration a dermatologists call dr. Messner says that by the time we are in our 30s the ceramides counts decreased by 40% and by the time we are in our 40s 60% of the skins are in my house is already decreased so that is a pretty sad news but the good news is that there are a lot of great topical products or topical skin care products we can reach forward to replenish and balance out what we have lost but first of all how to protect your skin barrier I will link a video right here so that you have a better understanding on how to holistically care for your skin barrier if you do compromise yours again look for something that has cholesterol fatty acids ceramide and crave beauty grape failure relief was designed to repair and restore a broken and damaged skin barrier or you can simply reach for rows of seed oil or any kind of oils that are more rich in linoleic acid than oleic acid finally we are entering the reversal strategy this will be applied to someone who's in their late 30s or 40s and above someone who already does have mature skin with visible signs of aging such as sagginess fine lines or deep lines in this stage of life it is very very natural for our skin cells to slow down and shut down its factory so we might need to hire some personal trainers aka some active ingredients to remind our skin cells of what they are capable of doing and we can teach our skin cells to do certain things again first and foremost all the strategies that diet lifestyle and preventive method of skin care and maintenance method of skin care those are always going to be your foundation however this is a really really great time for you to actively look for some active ingredients vitamin A and vitamin C are probably going to be your best friends from now on if you are interested in learning more about vitamin A retinol retinol in general I do have a tol dedicated video on that so please click here vitamin A is probably going to be the most well researched and the most clinically proven ingredient when it comes to reversing the signs of aging my favorite retinol product still remains to be the pestle and mortar superstar oil it contains 8 PR as well in a blend of tamaño oil and really nourishing blend of antioxidant rich oils also this is when you can start looking for a high concentration of vitamin C formulas the incubus vitamin C product is a silicon-based vitamin C that you can easily apply in the daytime underneath your makeup or you can alternate these on using retinol on one night and vitamin C on another night and I think vitamin C and is such a high percentage such as 30% it really does affect your overall complexion and it provides great antioxidant fit as a baseline as well pet pet is another active ingredient that you can start incorporating it wouldn't show as much of a good dramatic result such as vitamin A retinol products or vitamin C products but it's a really overall promising ingredient group that you can definitely benefit from with consistent use another great anti-aging skincare tip that you might want to incorporate in this reversal strategy is to apply more facial oils that are rich in oleic acid than linoleic acid these are the oils that typically feels a little bit greasy or a little bit thicker and just a bit heavier but these are going to be great at really making sure your outer most layer of the skin as well plump and hydrate it and in order for us to really keep your skin bouncy and healthy is to bring back the fats into your skin and there's nothing like facial oils and there are really great oils in this category including Marilla oil argan oil olive oil avocado oil tomato oil sea buckthorn oil and while you do apply these oils I would highly recommend you to do some facial massage either that's just lymphatic drainage massage to keep that waste and talks in away from your skin but also just any kind of physical manual action that can lift up your skin I typically do kind of like a gentle facial massage whenever I do use cleansing oil so that was my comprehensive guide on when and how to start antiaging this is not the right way or the only way to approach anti-aging of course if you have any wisdom to share in this anti-aging subject definitely do so by commenting below so that everyone in the pump of them can benefit from your wisdom thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of your life and your skincare journey and stay healthy take care and I'll talk to you guys soon bye you
