7 Anti-Aging Skincare Ingredients You Need

The amount of anti-aging skin care ingredients seems to grow more every day and it can get overwhelming deciding on which products to invest in.

Here are my top 7 that I recommend to my clients.

1. Glycolic Acid - This alpha-hydroxy acid derived from sugarcane helps to gently lift dead skin cells revealing brighter smooth skin underneath. Regular professional treatments using glycolic acid results in smooth texture, reduction in acne breakouts and congested pores as well as a reduction in fine lines. Bonus, this treatment also helps your home care products penetrate more efficiently. See more about professional chemical peels here: https://www.finelineseattle.com/chemical-peel

2. Retinol - The tried and true ingredient we know and love. Vitamin A does it all. It refines texture increases collagen production and brightens. This is one ingredient that your anti-aging regimen must have. Try my favorite version of retinol here: https://www.finelineseattle.com/shop/p/clinical-super3-booster

3. OMEGA-3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids - Nourishing, calming and natural solution for warding off wrinkles. We love the taste of this vegan liquid formula:  Seriously Delicious ™ Total OMEGA® Vegan Pomegranate Blueberry Smoothie https://www.finelineseattle.com/shop/p/seriously-delicious-total-omega-vegan-pomegranate-blueberry-smoothie

4. Hyaluronic Acid - This ingredient holds one thousand times its weight in water which has an incredible effect on the skin surface.  Hylauronic holds moisture in the skin to prevent evaporation into the air results in a glowing and plump look to the skin. I love wrapping my skin in the Cocoon Moisturizing Cream which includes hyaluronic acid within its creamy texutre. https://www.finelineseattle.com/shop/p/cocoon-moisturizing-cream

5. Copper Peptides - This skin-restoring ingredient is known for slowing down the skin aging process by promoting the growth of collagen and elastin. The result is softer skin and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Try Constitution Copper DNA Serum. https://www.finelineseattle.com/shop/p/constitution-copper-dna-serum

6. Vitamin C - It’s no secret that vitamin C is vital for the skin. It is known for its antioxidant properties, plumping and brightening effect on the skin. Our Revival Drops - Multi Acitve Essence is packed with vitamin C for noticeably softer and nourished skin. Use in the morning before your moisturizer and sun protection.  https://www.finelineseattle.com/shop/p/revival-drops

7. Zinc Oxide - The ultimate sun protection ingredient. We all know by now that the number one thing you can do to save your skin is by protecting it from UV rays. Zinc oxide minerals reflect UV rays so it is suitable for all skin types. Modern formulas are ultra smooth, creamy and available with a tint so that it blends more easily into your skin.
