Perfect Skincare Routine for Deep Lines and Wrinkles | Skin Actives
Posted by Brendan Leonard on Oct 15th 2020
When we are young our faces are smooth and round. We take this for granted. Later, we begin to notice lines working their way in at the corners of our eyes and around our mouths. Soon, those lines become etched much deeper and before you know it, we have bona fide wrinkles. Along with this new feature, we will probably notice that our skin is not as plump and firm as it once was.
This is part of nature, and part of life! Like a machine that has to perform the same functions over and over again, as our skin ages, the constituent parts begin to break down. This leads to lines, then wrinkles. This leads to sagging skin, or at the very least, skin that has lost its youthful vitality.
You may look in the mirror and think, “it’s too late for me.” But it’s not!
Below you’ll find a Deep Wrinkle and Firming Routine made entirely of Skin Actives products. And right now, they are all on sale!
The First Step: Cleansing
The first step to any good routine is going to begin with a cleanser, but which one? We suggest that you choose between the following:
Skin Cleansing Oil - People are taught from a young age to fear oil on their skin, but this is just wrong. Your skin needs oil to maintain moisture, and produce its own. Stripping away your skin’s oils can actually be very harmful. Our Skin Cleansing Oil uses the power of antioxidant rich oils to clear away make-up while preserving without depriving you of your skin’s naturally occurring oils. This product receives raves every year both as a cleanser and as a makeup remover.
Gentle Cream Cleanser - If you’re not convinced about cleansing with an oil, try our Gentle Cream Cleanser! It’s a bit more like a foam you might be used to, but it’s formulated to protect your skin’s oils and to be super-gentle!
AM Routine
This is how you’ll start your day, no matter what time it is that you have to get ready.
First, cleanse, then follow these steps:
Apply Collagen Serum - Apply a thin layer of collagen serum to your face, neck, decolletage and hands, or really just anywhere you want to see it work! Skin Actives classic Collagen Serum is our best selling anti-age serum. Formulated with our favorite ingredients including Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Sea Kelp Coral, and a host of antioxidants, Collagen Serum gets your cells to work for you!
Lock it in with Anti Aging Day Cream with SPF 30 - We can’t stress enough the role that UV rays play in the physical aging process. For this next step, lock in the power of our Collagen Serum with a double duty cream that not only delivers the anti-aging benefits of our state of the art active ingredients, but it also protects with a light, breezy SPF 30 that won’t weigh you down over the course of your day.
PM Routine
As you are winding down and getting ready for bed, here are the steps for the second half of your routine:
Cleanse, and get the remnants of the day off of your skin.
Apply Collagen Serum, same as before.
Finally, lock in your gains with Vitamin A Cream - Vitamin A Cream is your answer to healthy retinols at night. Retinols promote cell turnover that will work to erase lines and wrinkles from your face. But they are reactive to sunlight and so the best time to use them is while you sleep.
But this is just the beginning. Now that you have the power of this simple formula at your fingertips, you can add to it to suit your own personal challenges. For instance, add Skin Brightening Cream into the mix if you are struggling with hyperpigmentation. For older skin, consider the Advanced Ageless versions of Collagen Serum and Vitamin A Cream to triple up on the antioxidant power of Apocynin and our patented ROS* BioNet.
