WHEN SHOULD I START ANTI-AGEING SKINCARE?

Author: Angelika Wiatkowska


WHAT YOUR SKIN ACTUALLY NEEDS TO LOOK REVITALISED


“When should I start anti-ageing skincare?” and “Is it too early to use retinol?” are some of the most searched skincare questions, and the answer is simpler than you might think.

Great skin isn’t about age. It’s about supporting your skin with the right care, at the right time. When skin starts to feel less firm, less hydrated and a little dull, it’s usually asking for three things: support, nourishment and renewal.


That’s where Firm. Plump. Renew. comes in…the philosophy behind The Skin Revival Beauty Kit.



DO I NEED ANTI-AGEING SKINCARE, OR JUST BETTER SKINCARE?


Anti-ageing doesn’t have to mean harsh actives or aggressive routines. In fact, the most effective approach focuses on protection, hydration and gentle renewal, especially in your 20s, 30s and beyond.

Firming care starts with prevention. In the morning, Doctors Formula Power Active RAPIDLift Serum helps visibly firm and smooth skin using 5% RapidLift Actives, vitamin C and green tea. Follow with Ultra Violette Queen Screen™ SPF 50+ Luminising SKINSCREEN™, a daily essential that protects against UV damage (the biggest cause of premature ageing) while delivering a healthy glow.


To enhance firmness, tools play a supporting role. The Brushworks Rejuvenating Skin Set can be used morning or evening. The rose quartz facial roller helps de-puff and soothe, while the micro-needle derma roller supports skin renewal and texture.



IS IT TOO EARLY TO FOCUS ON PLUMPING AND HYDRATION?


Never. Hydration is the foundation of healthy-looking skin at any age. When skin is well hydrated, it appears smoother, firmer and more radiant.


Use e.l.f. Thirst Burst Pore-fecting Toner morning or night (or both if your skin handles actives well!) to gently exfoliate with 2% BHA while delivering lightweight hydration. Layer Kanzen RevitaCell Niacinamide Serum to help balance tone, refine texture and support the skin barrier. For the eye area, e.l.f. Bright + Brew-tiful Eye Cream works AM and PM. Powered by vitamin C, caffeine and banana-coloured pigments, it brightens, de-puffs and helps eyes look instantly refreshed.


And for lips, Plump It Daily Lip Plumping Fix is designed for once-daily use, helping enhance natural fullness while deeply hydrating. With Peptamide 6 Plus, vitamins C and A, and hyaluronic acid, it supports lip structure, softness and smoothness from the very first application.




DO I NEED RETINOL TO RENEW MY SKIN?


Retinol isn’t essential for everyone. Renewal can be gentle, supportive and just as effective when done consistently. Use the Doctors Formula Cleansing Sheet Mask in the evening to deeply cleanse, detoxify and remove dead skin cells. For daily balance, Kanzen Hypochlorous Acid Spray can be used anytime to calm redness, refresh skin and support clarity, especially when skin feels stressed or reactive. At night, Delhicious Body Dream Drench Sleep Mask supports skin’s natural repair process. With kokum butter, lavender and bakuchiol, it nourishes, soothes and renews while you sleep.



WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF MY SKIN?


Skin revival doesn’t stop at the face. The Baylis & Harding Kindness+ Discovery Set delivers hydration, renewal and radiance to hands and body, morning or evening, with science-backed formulas designed to support healthier-looking skin from head to toe.
