Ageing is an inevitable process that develops when fluctuations in the dermis’s structure occur, resulting in decreased elasticity, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and sagging. Whilst it is a natural process, premature ageing can be catalysed by environmental factors and lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet and sun exposure. 

Accounting for one-third of the body’s protein composition, collagen plays a pivotal role in maintaining moisture balance. After turning 20, the body’s ability to generate collagen reduces, producing 1% less each year. As a result, fibres that support the skin’s structure begin to thin and sag, leaving the face looking dull and dry. Adjusting lifestyle habits such as increasing the intake of amino acids, Vitamin C and copper, can increase collagen production. When coupled with deeply nourishing skincare, this can accelerate, leaving you with a plump, rejuvenated complexion. 

Retinol is a key ingredient in products aiming to target ageing skin as it has been clinically proven to reverse extrinsic ageing by improving elasticity, increasing moisture and smoothing out wrinkles. Whilst wrinkles and fine lines are part of the parcel in the ageing process, premature signs of ageing such as hyperpigmentation, deep lines and dryness can occur ahead of their time. Retinol is, therefore, vital in targeting delicate areas more prone to ageing.
