3 Best Anti-Aging Tips

I am turning 27 this coming December 2016. 

People often say age is just a number - which is true. It doesn't matter how great are you in doing your makeup to make yourself look younger. At the end of the day, your skin condition somehow shows your real age. This is especially for those who are having dry skin, without proper hydration and anti-aging properties, lines and wrinkles appear quicker than to those who are having oily skin. Same to the oily skin, without proper care on oil balance and blemishes, it causes scarring, bumpy skin texture and skin loses its radiance; when your skin look dull, your skin tends to age quicker too.

Here's I have my 3 ultimate anti-aging tips for all of you. For those of you who thinks that their age is yet to reach 25, it's better to start using anti-aging skin care products as early as 23 years old, unless you have oily skin and acne-prone skin type that might not suitable for rich ingredients in anti-ageing skin care products.

1. Wear Sunscreen Every Day

I used to skip applying sunscreen in my morning skincare regime. Trust me, it freaked me out when I found out that there's slight pigmentation developed on my cheekbone area during one of the beauty consultation when I was 25. Since then, I apply my sunscreen diligently every day. I know some of you find that most of the sunscreen out there leaves a greasy feeling, well, you just need to spend some time at the store to look for the right sunscreen for your skin without leaving any greasiness and clogging your pores. Regular use of sunscreen with at least SPF30 or higher is a great way to keep your skin healthy and prevent age spots and discoloration.

note: It is important to apply sunblock every morning 30 minutes before you leave the house. 

2. Apply Some Honey

We all know that honey has been one of the natural ingredients that good for all skin's problems and health. It is the best nourishment for dry skin and acts as a natural humectant which means it is great at retaining and preserving moisture. It also exfoliates skin to remove dead cells and promotes the regeneration of new cells which in turn lighten pigmentation, age spots and scars. Vitamin B and potassium present in honey also helps in improving skin elasticity and suppleness.

note: Pamper your skin 1-2 times a week by applying honey to your skin and leave it for 5 minutes before rinsing off with warm water, your skin will thank you for that!

3. Good Skincare Regime

I know this can be quite a boring topic. But yes, a good skincare regime is crucial in order to keep our skin well hydrated and appear radiant and supple. Normally, a simple regime that consist of cleansing, toning and moisturiser considered a pretty good. Though, as we grow older and especially with climate changes, I find that such skincare regime is no longer suffice in order to keep our skin in good care.

As for me, my current skincare regime consist of Cleanser - THE THERAPY First Serum - Toner - THE THERAPY Moisture Blending Cream - Sunscreen (morning only). Trust me, adding one more step in my skincare regime has made a different on my skin hydration.

THE THERAPY First Serum

THE THERAPY First Serum is the essential regimen first step serum water blending formula with Crystal particles and essential oil assures optimum skincare results by restoring balance to skin. It enhances hydration and balancing the skin, to generate the glowing radiance of a healthy and flush skin.

What you need to know about this amazing product - it is anti-aging and anti-dryness whilst providing deep moisture to your skin, as well as able to exfoliate your skin. The First Serum uses the Thalassotherapy Water instead of the normal water. Also, the European therapist's essential oil formula helps to heighten the anti-aging effect by forming protection shield for the skin.

How To Use?

After cleansing, apply 1-2 pumps of THE THERAPY First Serum onto the skin.

Other than use it as a First Serum as it is, here's another 3 brilliant ways to use this product!

a: Use it as a facial mist by pouring the product into a spray bottle and you can spray it onto your face whenever you feel that your skin needs it.

b: Use it as a massage gel by pouring the product into your warm palm and gently press on the face points such as temple, cheek and behind the ear. Inhale deeply for the relaxing sandalwood based essential oil will help in relaxing too!

c: Use it as a pack by dampening a piece of gauze with the product and freeze it in the fridge. You may then put it on your face for 10-minute for its cooling and relaxing purpose. It's good for your pores too!

My Thoughts?

I personally love using it as the First Serum itself and facial mist. I realize my lotion and moisturizer absorbed better to the skin after I added this step in my skincare regime. I love it didn't leave any dryness or any tightening effect to my skin. Most importantly, it is hydrating and allows deep penetration of the rest of my skin care products! 

note: THE THERAPY First Serum is recommended to use right after cleansing. As the first step after cleansing, the serum helps to balance the skin and boost the absorption and effectiveness of any treatments used after it.

Hand-blended ingredients are combined to create a luxurious cream that gently melts into skin for hydration. The Thalassotherapy water and essential oil moisture oil gel cream at the upper layer and rich moisture cream at the lower later form double layered formula to deliver a differentiated luxurious texture that was unseen in the existing moisture cream.

How To Use?

Using the spatula provided to mix the two layers for 10-second before applying it to your skin.

My Thoughts?

I was kinda skeptical at first, I mean I have acne-prone and sensitive skin type, and applying rich moisturizer to my face is the last thing I will do to my skin. Surprisingly, it didn't break my skin out at all. In fact, it feels soothing and always give me supple and radiant skin in the morning. I no longer experience skin peeling around my super dehydrated cheekbone and nose area. Also, I realize how it well prep my skin before applying the makeup and there's no cakey nor patchy makeup application!

I love using it as moisturizer and massage gel whenever I feel like it. As it has essential oil properties, it's great for point massage for its relaxing and calming effect. I find it easier to do the point massage with this product compare to the First Serum. But that's just me, you do whatever that suitable to your skin needs!
