The Golden Gate to Anti Ageing

Ageing, something we would rather avoid discussing. At a certain point in our lives it almost feels taboo to speak about age, am I right? That awkward laugh when you start counting the candles on your birthday cake, having an internal battle with yourself about whether to tell them your real age, or not. Yes, accepting that we’re ageing is not as easy as it was when we were in high school, right? Today we are going to give you some secrets to put your mind at ease. Our age doesn’t have to be a painful thought or reminder anymore, and looking in the mirror can now be as exciting and satisfying as we have always dreamt of. 

No more inspecting every detail of your skin and finally, you can say bye to those subtle frown and smile lines, to those small eye wrinkles you could’ve sworn you imagined seeing last week. All of that, much like the awkwardness and blush-worthy topic of ageing, it’s old news! 

The Classic ‘Revive Me’ Retinol

Retinol is basically like CPR for your skin, resuscitating our skin, to keep working! Retinol is also known as vitamin A, is found in plenty of fruits; yellow, orange, and dark green leafy veggies, liver and fish oils, milk, eggs, etc. It helps the body to function better, improving your vision and taking care of your heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs as well.

So why Retinol for your skin, you ask?

The main aim of retinol to put it simply is to preserve, revive and reboot your skin, think about it like this, it gives you that flawless Instagram filter look. It helps the skin produce collagen, stimulates and renews your blood vessels which create better pigmentation so more vibrant, youthful, fresh, firm and glowing skin. Beyond that, the most important function it has is to help minimize those lines, wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, blemishes, spots, or discolouration while at the same time improving your skin turnover (the process of your body creating new skin cells which happens every 28 days).

Anti-ageing products tend to make people think about a whole lot of potentially damaging chemicals on your skin, and some of the possible side-effects of these products. It is so important to be aware of ingredients in certain retinol serums, it can cause dryness, skin irritation, redness, peeling, cracking and sometimes even skin discolouration.
