‘Older and wiser’ goes the saying. However, along with wisdom, age also brings wrinkles. In our quest to knock off years from our face, we do all we can – from trying expensive dermatological treatments to hoarding up on innumerable creams. But the truth is that eventually, age is going to catch up and reflect on our faces through lines and wrinkles. We cannot defy this natural process, but we can definitely slow it down. Here are some products that can be used everyday to give you smooth, wrinkle-free skin. 

Sunscreen  

A leading cause of fine lines and premature ageing is overexposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours from 10 am to 4 pm. This makes sunblock an essential part of your everyday routine. Slather on a broad-spectrum sunscreen like the Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 50 to prevent the onset of wrinkles. It is sweat and water-resistant, making it perfect for those days at the beach or while playing sports.   A more affordable option is the L’Oréal UV Perfect Advanced 12H UV Protector that can be used whenever you step out during the day. Make sure you reapply every two hours when outdoors for maximum effectiveness. For more on sunscreens, read our blog on Sunscreens We Trust To Protect You From The Heat. 

Vitamin C 

Vitamin C is the holy grail of anti-ageing products, making it an absolute must-have. This potent antioxidant combats wrinkles and imparts a youthful glow to the skin. Although available in forms of creams, a serum is the most concentrated and well-absorbed form of Vitamin C. Make it an integral part of your daily nighttime beauty routine. Try the Clinique Fresh Pressed Vitamin C Serum. A few drops are all you need for it to work its magic. 

Vitamin E 

This antioxidant vitamin is considered as the first line of defence against ageing. Although Vitamin E occurs naturally in our skin, exposure to sun depletes it, resulting in dry, wrinkly skin. Apply a nighttime Vitamin E enriched serum like the Yves Rocher Anti Age Global Complete Day Cream to reverse sun-induced damage.  

Alpha Hydroxy Acid 

Alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid help a great deal in evening out your skin’s texture. The exfoliating action removes the upper layer of the skin, revealing fresher skin while diminishing the appearance of fine lines.  

Collagen 

Collagen is what lends suppleness to the skin. Kaya Collagen Intense Solution formulated with a combination of super-hydrating hyaluronic acid and collagen plumps up the skin while diminishing fine lines and restores its youthful glow. 

Retinol 

A derivative of Vitamin A, retinol is a powerful wrinkle-fighting weapon. It boosts cell turnover by accelerating the shedding of dead skin at a cellular level and boosting new cell growth. Try the Estée Lauder Wrinkle Lifting/Firming Serum or the L’Oréal Revitalift Night Cream to erase fine lines and brighten your complexion.  

Ayurvedic Products

For a more natural approach to counter signs of ageing, try Kama Ayurveda’s Kumkumadi Miraculous Beauty Night Serum. Its unique blend of oils and herbs help skin look young and healthy.   Using these products is almost futile if you do not embrace healthy lifestyle habits. So, make it a point to eat a healthy balanced diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, stay hydrated and better manage stress. Try sleeping on your back instead of sleeping sideways as it might cause wrinkles on your skin. Limit washing your face to a maximum of two times a day to avoid stripping off the natural oils, and always moisturise.   Ageing is inevitable. However, practising a healthy lifestyle and the right skincare starting from your 20s can prevent its acceleration and help you age gracefully. To get these miraculous products, shop for them at Shoppers Stop online or in-store.
