With inputs from a dermatologist and a yoga instructor – here's everything you need to know about how to use anti-wrinkle serums for that glow from within. Ageing is inevitable. We want to fight ageing so badly that even a glimmer of its resemblance is unsettling. But what is ageing and why is it so undesirable? The visibility of wrinkles, crow's feet and sagging skin means the signs of ageing are now noticeable on your face. Maybe in the 90s ageing was frowned upon. Today, we tackle it differently. It is no longer cool to call someone old. The phrase anti-ageing may be popular but the fear-mongering energy it carries transpires us all. As something that is to be taken care of rather than fearing, the anti-ageing toolbox we've crafted has anti-wrinkle serums along with some practices for radiant skin. It's true that as we age, the skin's radiance diminishes fast. This is because estrogen in women declines, which is the key activator of collagen production, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Estrogen loss dramatically affects the appearance of the skin, robbing us of that healthy glow, and making skin appear dry and dull. If you're wondering how to avoid this biological process, there is no way folks. Renowned dermatologist and skin expert from Mumbai Dr Madhuri Agrawal shares, "Starting with an anti-ageing skincare routine in as early as your late twenties can actually slow down the occurrence of signs of ageing."
From anti-wrinkle serums to restorative overnight creams and under eye recovery gels, caring for mature skin doesn't have to feel like an uphill battle. It can be an empowering routine. In fact, an effective skincare routine must have face serums that target wrinkles and fine lines. Below, we discuss the magic of anti-ageing serums along with practical tips to maintain radiant skin.
As Dr Madhuri Agrawal explains, anti-ageing serums are formulated to tackle common signs of ageing while improving skin health. Here are some of the benefits she highlights:
Here are the key ingredients to look for in anti-wrinkle serums and how should you use each one.
Anti-wrinkle serums can be a game changer in your routine. The key is to know effective application tips, when to use and with what frequency and the best times to use them. Consistency plays an important role too. For best results, here are some ideas that you can incorporate on your skincare routine.
Our daily practices and habits have a huge impact on the health of our skin. Some lifestyle tweaks like drinking plenty of water and prioritizing 7-8 hours of beauty sleep will allow for natural skin regeneration. Diet plays an incredibly important role too. Think about incorporating antioxidant-rich foods like berries, nuts, and leafy greens to combat oxidative stress that can negatively affect the skin. Apsara Vydyula , a certified yoga instructor, shares that simple and mindful living through wellness practices, yoga, deep breathing techniques, and stress management, contribute significantly to skin health. Stress often shows up on the skin, so a balanced mind supports a glowing complexion. "Remember, caring for ageing skin is about consistency and simplicity. Embracing a natural, wholesome lifestyle not only enhances your skin but also supports your overall well-being." It's common knowledge that yoga is the best way to approach a holistic goal. The first benefit of yoga is that your stress levels drop, which not only brings calmness to the face but also relaxes your chakras, limiting the negative effects of stress on the skin. Her top three asanas for glowing skin include Sirsasana (Headstand), Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose) and Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog). "Each of these asanas not only improves circulation and skin health but can also help in feeling more present and relaxed. I believe that inner balance is the secret to glowing skin", explains Apsara.
