Do You Have These First Signs Of Aging?
Don’t you wish that your skin could stay as young and perfect as it looks today? Well, unless you’ve been dipped in wax or cryogenically frozen, your skin is probably already showing signs of aging or will be soon. Here are the first signs of aging to look for and how to look your best, aging gracefully:
1. CROW'S FEET
With age, collagen and elastin production slows down so skin loses the ability to bounce back to its original shape. Lines also appear around the eye area because the skin around the eyes is especially delicate. After a lifetime of squinting and everyday eye movements, crow’s feet are usually one of the first signs of aging skin.
How to look your best:
Our new Firm Skin Targeted Treatment delivers an intense dose of actives to specific areas like the eye area. Our Natural Retinol Alternative ingredient firms and smooths the skin while the Botanical Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and plumps, reducing the appearance of fine lines like crow’s feet.
2. DARK CIRCLES
When you grow older, your skin starts to thin and become more translucent. This change in texture results in darker circles under the eye, another initial sign of aging skin.
How to look your best:
Try our Wild Plum Eye Cream which contains wild plum juice, an iron-rich ingredient that brightens the look of skin under the eye. Other key ingredients include shea butter and grape oil for hydration as well as our Biocomplex™ and antioxidant-rich green tea.
3. DARK SPOTS
Maybe your dark spots are a faint sprinkling on your cheeks or summer freckles that are no longer fading in the fall. Examine your cheeks, chest area and hands for these first signs of aging that are caused by a lifetime of sun exposure.
How to look your best:
Our Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum is a brightening serum formulated with licorice and a Natural Hydroquinone Alternative Complex designed to brighten the appearance of the skin.
You can also prevent further dark spots by protecting your skin from the sun. Our Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40 is a fan favorite that hydrates and protects from UVA / UVB / UVC rays.
4. LAUGH LINES
Like crow’s feet, lines around the mouth are caused by all of our facial expressions and reduced elasticity in our aging, sagging skin. With older skin which is dryer and less elastic, lines and wrinkles in this area are much more obvious the older we get.
How to look your best:
The Firm Skin Targeted Treatment is perfect for tackling lines and wrinkles around your smile as well. Its formulation tightens the skin quickly and delivers intense hydration, making laugh lines much less obvious.
Why Does Our Skin Change Over Time?
As we age, our skin undergoes various changes that affect its appearance and texture. One of the most significant changes is a decrease in collagen and elastin production, leading to loss of firmness and elasticity. This decline is often accompanied by a reduction in the skin’s natural moisture content, causing dryness and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, factors such as sun exposure, pollution and lifestyle choices can accelerate these aging effects, resulting in uneven skin tone, rough texture and a dull complexion. Understanding these changes is essential for developing effective skin care routines that can help maintain a youthful and radiant appearance.
