To understand how to support your skin as you age, it’s first important to understand that different areas of your skin require different types of skincare based on their individual needs. For example, there are several factors that differentiate the skin around the eyes to the rest of the face, including that it is much thinner, has fewer oil-producing glands, experiences frequent creasing from facial expressions, and visibly reflects our lived experiences such as lack of sleep or allergies. To best support the skin around the eyes, it's important to choose an eye crème that is tailored to these unique needs. 

In contrast, the skin on the rest of your face has an abundance of oil-producing glands and therefore a greater ability to reduce moisture loss across the skin’s surface. When choosing skincare, using scientifically proven formulations that have been verified to support the underlying skin structure, boost collagen and elastin production, strengthen the skin barrier, increase hydration and help minimise and prevent hyperpigmentation, will aid in minimising the impacts of ageing. Cleansing and exfoliation are also crucial practices for preventing and reducing skin ageing as they help remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin that can contribute to the degradation of collagen and elastin.
