Prevent ageing completely? Currently only available in sci-fi movies, but we do know the best way to avoid wrinkles: future-proofing your skin. Making a plan that prevents, prolongs, and protects your skin health will prevent the signs of ageing from appearing prematurely. Of course, no one can prevent ageing completely (And here at AlumierMD we don’t think we should, ageing is a privilege and we believe in ageing well), but you can keep signs of ageing skin, like wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging, away for longer. It’s a skin ageing prevention strategy that you can build with your skin pro – no matter how old you are right now.
PREVENTING
In recent years we’ve seen a shift away from corrective measures later in life, to skin prevention in younger years. Keeping your skin looking more youthful – which could include some of the visible effects like less wrinkles, firmer skin and a more even tone. So how do you prevent early wrinkles? You future-proof with medical-grade skincare! Creating a future-proofing plan with your pro will likely begin with a focus on your skin barrier. A resilient skin barrier shows your skin is working efficiently which means less chance of the damage that leads to the visual signs of ageing.
Your pro will help you build a rejuvenating skincare routine that’s right for you, but consistency is key. The best age-prevention skincare can only work when applied every morning and evening, no matter what. And the products? Well, our hardworking hybrids are formulated to work in synergy with your skin and one another for the best results. Your skin pro won’t keep you on the same routine forever. As you hit your skin goals your pro will update your products, so your skin just keeps on improving.
PROTECTING
Environmental aggressors accelerate our natural rate of ageing; free radicals present in pollution, pesticides, and more bombard our skin and lead to premature visible effects of ageing such as wrinkles and dark spots. Antioxidant ingredients work to neutralise these free radicals and help to stop them attacking our collagen. You can boost this protection by applying antioxidant-rich skincare each day. Enter: Alumience A.G.E.® with a sophisticated blend of antioxidants it helps to protect the skin from free radicals. It also contains EXO-P – an anti-pollutant that creates a breathable shield on the surface of the skin which traps the smallest particles of pollution that come from things like car exhaust fumes. These particles are so tiny that they can penetrate through the hair follicles and get into the lower layers of the skin and cause environmental ageing and damage, particularly to skin that’s already sensitive.
L-ascorbic acid is another incredibly powerful antioxidant that the body utilises to make vitamin C – known as the glow boosting vitamin. As well as its brightening powers, vitamin C can help to protect skin from environmental aggressors AND both prevent and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, you’ll find it in our EverActive C&E™ + Peptide.
What is the no.1 cause of the premature signs of ageing? Yep, you know it – UV rays! So, protecting your skin 365 days a year with a powerful sunscreen will help to preserve your skin and prevent damaging rays from attacking your skin’s architecture. Our range of mineral sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. You can choose tinted or clear, moisturising, or matte and all feel comfortable, lightweight and are so easy to apply.
PROLONGING
Collagen is a key component in our skin’s architecture, but when we hit our mid-twenties, we start to lose around 1% of collagen every year and this only increases as we age. Cell turnover naturally slows down which leaves the complexion dull and sluggish and natural hyaluronic acid – which helps to hydrate and plump skin also decreases. The good news is that you can protect your skin’s architecture by banking your collagen. Collagen banking is a relatively new term, but we’ve been talking about this for years, essentially you target your collagen before it declines and thus preserve it. How? Well, retinol and vitamin C have both been proven to prevent and dramatically reduce the appearance of collagen-related degradation such as lines, wrinkles and scarring, alongside peptides, and our skincare is based on this principle. Every AlumierMD product works in harmony to protect and prolong the skin’s construction for everyone. No matter what age you are now, the best time to start is today.
