Visible skin aging begins as early as the age of 25. Fine lines, crow’s feet, and dark circles start to appear. This is the time to give your skin more attention in order to effectively counteract the signs of aging.
But how does skin aging actually occur, and what does the perfect anti-aging routine look like? Here’s what you need to know.
How skin aging works
Our largest organ, the skin, consists of three main layers: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis, and the hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
Over time, these layers change as collagen levels gradually decline. As a result, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture, leading to fine lines and a loss of firmness.
Slowing down the aging process
We can’t stop skin aging – but we can slow it down.
Skin aging depends on several factors. In addition to genetics, external influences play a major role. Frequent sun exposure, an unbalanced diet, stress, and lack of sleep can accelerate premature aging. The good news: these are factors you can actively manage to help delay visible signs of aging.
Using the right skincare products is also essential.
The perfect skincare routine
Not all skincare is created equal. To slow down premature aging, anti-aging products often contain cell-communicating ingredients that support skin regeneration and improve moisture retention.
That’s why it’s recommended to start using anti-aging products and follow a balanced skincare routine from your mid-twenties onward.
Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes environmental impurities and makeup, helping to prevent blemishes and breakouts. After cleansing, targeted, ingredient-rich care is essential to nourish the skin.
A lightweight serum with hyaluronic acid helps improve skin firmness and delivers optimal hydration. An eye cream is also a must to care for the delicate eye area and reduce the appearance of crow’s feet.
A light, nourishing day cream completes your morning routine.
Since the skin regenerates overnight, an evening routine is just as important. After gentle cleansing and applying a serum and eye cream, a rich night cream is recommended to support skin regeneration and deliver active ingredients while you sleep.
Our recommendations for radiant skin:
Herbacin’s luxurious Face Care line combines carefully selected herbal extracts with an innovative blend of anti-aging ingredients such as carnosine, hyaluronic acid, and white lupine.
The Herbacin Face Care Morning Routine Set includes everything you need for a coordinated morning skincare routine.
For your evening ritual, we recommend the Herbacin Make-up Remover. Its gentle, dual-phase formula removes makeup thoroughly while already providing hydration during cleansing.
Follow with the Eye Cream to target crow’s feet. The rich Face Care Night Cream, enriched with camomile, lotus blossom, and moth bean extracts, supports skin renewal and helps smooth fine lines overnight.
