Anti-Ageing

Men's anti-ageing

Fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet appear when the skin produces less collagen. Collagen is very important to keep your skin supple and elastic. As you age, your skin produces less collagen and that is why anti-ageing products can help.

When should men start using anti-ageing products?

It may sound a bit strange, but it is wise to start using anti-ageing products while you are still in your twenties, but certainly by the time you are thirty. Also when it comes to skin ageing, prevention is better than to cure it.

If you start using anti-ageing products at a later age, there is not much that can be done about the wrinkles and fine lines you already have. The best approach is to start young and keep your skin youthful for as long as possible with good anti-ageing products, but you definitely do not have to start before your twentieth.

What makes anti-ageing products different from regular skincare products?

Anti-ageing is its own category of products. Although anti-ageing and regular skincare products are both designed to care for your skin, anti-ageing products often contain better and higher-quality ingredients.

That is why anti-ageing products are unfortunately also a bit more expensive. Many anti-ageing products, for example, contain hyaluronic acid. That is a molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, so such an ingredient provides ultimate hydration. In addition, anti-ageing creams often contain various vitamins and extracts to protect your skin and nourish it with important nutrients.

Most anti-ageing products are therefore aimed at keeping your skin well-hydrated and elastic. These are the key properties to address in order to prevent wrinkles and keep your skin smooth. Of course, it is also better not to spend too much time in the sun.

This is where it can sometimes get a little complicated because there are so many different products and terms for anti-ageing items. Think of anti-ageing cream, anti-ageing serum, anti-wrinkle cream, day cream, night cream, eye cream. Most of these terms you will have heard of.

First, a brief explanation of the difference between an anti-ageing cream and an anti-ageing serum. A serum is more concentrated and targets specific issues. For example, there are hyaluronic acid serums, vitamin C serums or retinol serums. An anti-ageing cream is more general and addresses multiple things at once, such as hydrating, nourishing, firming and evening out your skin. This is also the difference between an anti-wrinkle cream and an anti-ageing cream. The first category only tackles wrinkles and fine lines, while anti-ageing creams also addresses dull or dark skin or pigmentation spots.

An anti-ageing cream can also be divided into a day cream and a night cream. Night creams are richer, as they can work throughout the night to deliver their important nutrients. A day cream is lighter, because during the day your skin is exposed to many more factors, such as wind, rain, sunlight, etc. And an eye cream is specifically intended for the delicate skin under your eyes and around your cheekbones. It is a more targeted treatment against dark circles and puffiness.

In a perfect anti-ageing routine, you first apply a specific serum and then follow up with a day or night cream and an eye cream. It is also good to know that a moisturiser is not an anti-ageing product. As the name suggests, it only provides hydration, which is very important after cleansing your face, but it usually does not have anti-ageing ingredients or properties unless specifically mentioned.

That is a lot of information, but now you know exactly what to expect in the area of anti-ageing for men. Anti-ageing products are often a bit more expensive, so it is better to be well-informed to make a good decision.
