Anti-Ageing

Well if you know someone who can sell you the elixir of eternal youth and vitality then this probably isn't going to get your juices going. There is a world of anti-ageing serums to injections, some may be the toxin treatments which is all good and costly. Some even claim to be "Botox in a bottle."

When I was researching what ingredients I wanted in my Face Moisturiser I knew straight away what I wanted. It's a fair claim to say that some ingredients can have a temporary anti-ageing effect and may help somewhat. I always use the phrase "everyone's skin is different" — my little crow's lines as I approach my 50 young years may not be as deep as someone who is 40. I know though when I apply my moisturiser they plump out a little bit and it makes me feel that bit more confident.

Diet and lifestyle matter

It's quite often written and I agree that diet and drinking your 2 litres of water play an integral part. Drinking too much alcohol can take its toll and smoking — well no comment. Environmental and lifestyle all plays a significant part in how our skin ages. Sun damage is the worst thing for ageing. Sun beds even worse.

Find what works for you

Us guys have become more aware of our skincare over the years. It doesn't matter what you want to spend on a product — it's personal choice. At least you're looking after your personal care. A bigger price point will generally give you a better formulation. Just find what works for you. Try an anti-ageing face serum to level up your routine.

Don't be fooled by claims and yes, go for what works — but be conscious of what is in it. We are proud to have none of the nasties in Mens Skins and as you know we never add fragrance or dyes.
