Essential Ingredients in an Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine

If we could pick three ingredients that we recommend in an anti-ageing face routine then it would be hyaluronic acid, natural antioxidants and plant derived peptides. These three ingredients in our opinion are the absolute best for an anti-ageing routine that is effective and kind to skin at the same time. This is why we use these ingredients in our natural skincare range, as we love the performance that they offer and how they work holistically with our skin. Find some or all of these ingredients in our cleansers, treatments, moisturisers, lip and eye care.

Hyaluronic acid can sound quite scary, but it is actually an ingredient that occurs naturally in us, and when applied topically it offers superb hydration to the skin. Antioxidants are vitamins that give skin a kind of invisible shield of protection, and we include these in our products from our masses of plant oils and extracts, including green tea and seaweed. The plant peptide that we use in our Eye Cream Complex and Performance Face Serum is derived from hibiscus, it is an amazing ingredient that helps to smooth lines on the face.

Good skincare like ours that contains high quality ingredients is where the magic happens when it comes to having healthy skin. Because it is natural your skin will not be subject to those harsh synthetic anti-agers like retinol, that can disrupt lots of skin types. Instead, our well researched formulations are deigned to bring out the best in our skin on the face and neck. We always mention the neck as we know that some people only moisturise from the jaw line up. This is why traditionally you could spot someone's age by their neck, and of course by the hands.

Hyaluronic acid, natural antioxidants and plant peptides are excellent ways to regularly treat the face and neck, and using them together gives your skin a pick-me-up that leaves skin feeling plump, hydrated, conditioned and protected.

When customers ask us what the key ingredients for good anti-ageing skincare are then we always say it is hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and a peptide. This is why our products contain them, as we know how beneficial that they are for your skin. It is hard to choose three main ingredients, but for good skin naturally we feel these are hard to beat. There are loads of amazing ingredients in good anti-ageing skincare like ours. Of course, SPF is also key, as the sun causes a huge amount of premature skin ageing, that's why it is a non-negotiable.

Why Hyaluronic Acid, Natural Antioxidants and Plant Peptides are So Anti-Ageing for Skin?

When it comes to anti-ageing skincare, there are a few key ingredients that have gained massive popularity in recent years. These include hyaluronic acid, natural antioxidants, and plant peptides. But why exactly are these ingredients so effective in fighting the signs of ageing? We will delve further into the science behind these ingredients and explore how they work to keep your skin youthful and radiant.

Hyaluronic Acid: The Skin's Natural Moisturiser

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies that plays a crucial role in keeping our skin hydrated. It acts as a humectant, meaning it attracts and holds onto water molecules, providing a plumping effect that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

As we age, our natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to drier and less supple skin. By incorporating hyaluronic acid into our skincare routine, we can replenish this vital molecule and maintain a hydrated and youthful complexion.

Natural Antioxidants: The Skin's First Line of Defence

Our skin is constantly exposed to environmental stressors such as pollution, UV radiation and free radicals. These factors can accelerate the ageing process by damaging our skin cells, leading to wrinkles, dark spots and loss of elasticity.

Natural antioxidants, found in ingredients such as green tea extract, vitamin C and resveratrol, help to neutralise these harmful free radicals, reducing their damaging effects on our skin. By incorporating natural antioxidants into our skincare routine, we can protect our skin from premature ageing and maintain a healthy and youthful complexion.

Plant Peptides: Nature's Anti-Ageing Miracle

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins in our skin, such as collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining the elasticity and firmness of our skin.

Our plant peptide has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in our skin, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. Not only do these plant peptides have anti-ageing benefits, but they also provide a natural alternative to synthetic ingredients like retinol, which is commonly found in skincare products.
