Do you want to know the secret to staying young forever? Staying educated. Studies show that collagen production starts to decrease in most people starting in their early twenties and decreases up to 1.5% a year. UV exposure, age, and environmental factors can all play a huge part in the decline in collagen production. Protecting your natural skin structure is really important and the best way to do that is to start incorporating anti-aging products in your skincare routine.
What are some tips/advice people should consider when shopping for anti-aging skincare?
Look for comprehensive products with multiple beneficial actives and functions to reduce the number of products in your regimen. Using too many products in a regimen especially with powerful ingredients like retinols or exfoliants can make your skin more sensitive and reactive.
