Protect your skin from the sun every day
Sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging. From a rough and uneven texture to age spots, sagging skin, dark spots and wrinkles, sun exposure in the form of UVA and UVB rays manifests itself on the skin, robbing it of its radiance. And since these pesky rays are everywhere all year round (yes, even on the cloudiest days of winter), we’re all prone to this kind of damage. Fortunately, there are products designed to mitigate the fallout.
Often overlooked, SPF is literally the most important and effective anti-aging product. Thankfully, it’s available in so many different forms these days that there’s a choice for every skin type and preference. Chemical and physical sunscreens include creams, oils, Liquid and powder, so no excuses. A broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher is a must, and reapplying throughout the day is the best way to maintain protection, especially if you spend time outdoors. Another way to keep the rays from harming your skin is to cover yourself with sun-protective clothing, such as light long-sleeved shirts, long pants, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

Bonus Tip: If you want a little more color, apply a self-tanner. Sunburns are actually caused by sun damage, prematurely aging your skin. This is true whether you’re tanning in the sun or on an indoor tanning bed. Both emit harmful UV rays that accelerate the aging process. Oh, and your hands are not immune either. If you’re interested in gel nails, the UV light used to cure the color is the same UV light you’d be exposed to in a tanning bed. Apply plenty of SPF before going to the nail salon.
Cleanse gently every day
For a thorough clean, choose a cleanser that incorporates gentle physical and/or chemical exfoliants. You can get a squeaky clean feeling without rubbing hard. Plus, many exfoliants help reduce signs of aging, so they’re very cost-effective. Gentle and effective favorite options include Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser, Monoi Age Corrective Exfoliating Cleanser, Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser, or Strawberry Rhubarb Dermaphoriant or Stone Crop Oxygenating Phyzo in your cleanser of choice. There is such a thing as throwing in a few follients. website reviewer, pennyraved about our Stone Crop formula, calling it “the best exfoliant I’ve ever used!”

Retinol and Retinol Substitutes
Retinoids are compounds derived from vitamin A known for their ability to improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Traditional retinol (a type of retinoid) strengthens the protective function of the skin’s outermost layer, limits water loss, protect collagen — Proteins that structurally support the skin (holding it in place to prevent sagging and wrinkling). It won’t happen overnight, but traditional retinol may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and address other signs of aging.
Retinol is important in the skin care world, but it’s not for everyone. All benefits come at a price, usually in the form of redness, irritation and peeling. Luckily, Bakuchiol has joined the chat and is changing the game. Touted as an effective, natural alternative to traditional retinol, this plant-based, potent product offers many of the same results as retinol, without the drawbacks. Bakuchiol, extracted from the leaves and seeds of the babuti plant, is a gentle alternative that is gentle and effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, restoring firmness, refining skin texture and evening out skin tone.
Hydration, hydration, and more hydration
Moisture is important to prevent wrinkles and wrinkles. And the good news is that there’s a multi-pronged approach to hydration that literally benefits your skin from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water is very important for skin health. Drinking plenty of water will give you elasticity and plumpness and help maintain a radiant appearance.

Moisturizers are very important when it comes to hydration, but they are not always a top priority in our daily lives.

The Easy Fix is a product that does double duty: Bright Skin Moisturizer SPF 40 or Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer. It takes seconds to add this simple step to your routine, but the look of your skin can take years. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are powerful hydrating ingredients.
