Struggling to navigate your beauty needs?
It seems you hear about a new anti-ageing cream ingredient every week. With the intersection of science and nature growing, we’re starting to see more anti-ageing creams hit the shelves (online as well as off).
You certainly don’t have the time or resources to try every new product. Instead, it’s best to educate yourself on what exactly to look for to prevent ageing skin.
Let’s kick things off with the first powerful anti-ageing cream ingredient.
-
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Acid, huh, you’re probably thinking. This doesn’t sound like an anti-ageing cream ingredient. Alpha-lipoic acid reduces the effects of ageing, while adding a smooth touch to your skin. It improves cellular energy production, while minimising inflammation – one of the major causes of wrinkles and lines. This acid provides your skin with antioxidant protection that gives your complexion this almost-invincible powers, as it accelerates other antioxidants like coenzyme Q10. This collagen-producing antioxidant is found in our anti-ageing products, like Age IQ.
-
Caffeine
Coffee lovers, you’re in for a treat. If this is your morning muse, it’s going to also become your night potion (just topically). It’s found in many anti-ageing creams for its antioxidant properties. Caffeine helps protect your skin against harmful UV radiation and slows down the process of photo ageing. It’s an ingredient we use in some of our anti-ageing creams, such as the Firming Body Contour Cream – to circulate dimpled skin in troublesome spots.
-
Green Tea
Another delicious drink of choice, green tea is also found in anti-ageing creams. It’s in our firming anti-ageing cream because it guards your skin against environmental damage and has anti-inflammatory properties. You’ll see green tea on anti-ageing cream labels because it’s attributed to polyphenols, which is a type of flavonoid found in plants. This natural ingredient has also been linked to reducing sun damage, protecting against cancer, decreasing collagen breakdown and influencing cell regeneration.
-
Jojoba Oil
Cool name, amazing results! If you haven’t heard of it, Jojoba oil is a vegetable wax extracted from Jojoba plants in the desert. It’s vitamin E-rich and packed full of zinc and B-complex goodness to help fight the signs of ageing. And, why it’s found in our anti-ageing creams! When applied underneath the eyes, it lightens dark circles and minimises puffiness. Look for Jojoba oil in your anti-ageing creams.
-
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
This ingredient gives anti-ageing creams an edge. Niacinamide aids your body to perform critical actions like cell and DNA signalling, and converting carbohydrates into essential proteins and fats. It’s in our anti-ageing creams and it’s one of the most natural ways to tackle hyperpigmentation. If you purchase an anti-ageing cream, make sure it’s got niacinamide in it.
