Truly effective anti-ageing skincare
doesn’t need to be expensive.
As I have said in my earlier blogs, scientific research indicates that the essential components of an anti-ageing facial regime are a Vitamin C serum, a retinoid and a hydroxy acid.
To these three add a sunscreen, moisturiser & cleanser and you will not need anything else.
I have evaluated numerous products and my favourite combination is
- Medik8 CE-Tetra (Vitamin C Serum)
- Glō Therapeutics Renew Serum (Retinol, Glycolic & Salicylic Acids)
- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser
- SkinMedica TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20
These are all quality products with high concentrations of active ingredients. The SkinMedica TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20 is a superb year-round moisturiser with sunscreen but during sun exposure this should be supplemented with SkinMedica Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30+ or 50+.
Don’t let glossy, air-brushed promotions fool you into filling your bathroom cabinet with expensive miracle creams; these four products are all you will need.
