What is the Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Regimen?
We know there’s a million different products and advice vying for your attention when it comes to anti-aging skin care, so we thought we’d condense the science and the best products in one helpful place. A high-quality anti-aging skincare regimen is an investment in your appearance no matter what your age. We broke it down into the steps you need to take in the morning, evening, and on a weekly basis.
Morning and Night
Step 1: Cleanse
The foundation of any skincare routine is daily cleansing both in the morning and at night. Our gentle and silky smooth Citrus Herbal Cleanser is a great way to wake up and refresh your appearance in the morning, and our high-performance Clarify Cleanser is an effective way to clean up at the end of the day.
Step 2: Tone
When you’re looking for potent results from anti-aging products, toning every day is essential to ensuring products sink in deeply by balancing skin’s pH after cleansing. Our Protein Mist Enzyme Toner can be used throughout the day to activate the proteins and enzymes your skin needs to stay healthy and strong.
Morning
Step 3: Serum
For instant results and long-term wrinkle reduction benefits when used regularly, an anti-aging serum is a powerful tool in your anti-aging skincare regimen. Use our Bio Peptide Complex Serum in the morning to create a firm, plump complexion that will nourish your skin with a peptide-rich formula.
Step 4: Facial Oil
As we move into the hydration stage of your morning routine, there’s an opportunity to introduce another potent product proven to hydrate and smooth your skin. The Defy Age Corrective Facial Oil not only hydrates, but also brightens skin and helps reduce inflammation.
Step 5: Moisturizer
Although you may think that moisturizers don’t come with anti-aging benefits beyond the essential need to hydrate skin, this isn’t the case with our Skin Rejuvenation Therapy cream. Lock in the effects of the previous powerful products while Epicuren’s Metadermabolic® Protein Enzyme Complex and growth factor work to strengthen skin and prevent the signs of aging.
Step 6: Sunscreen
The main cause of the visible signs of aging such as fine lines and hyperpigmentation is sun damage over time. As UV rays hit skin cells, they damage their ability to produce collagen, elastin, and other proteins vital to smooth, youthful skin. Couple this with the body’s natural loss of collagen over time and it becomes imperative to protect your skin every day with a non-greasy, high-SPF sunscreen like the ones from Epicuren Discovery.
Nightly
Step 3: Retinol
Powered by key ingredients like Vitamin A and glycolic acid, our Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Complex is a powerful way to create a firmer, less wrinkled appearance. This formula is so powerful we recommend only using it up to five times per week, and only at night.
Step 4: Serum
Nighttime application of serum helps you double down on the anti-aging benefits of our science-backed products. Either use the same serum that you used in the morning or one designed to address a specific issue, like our ever popular Eye Alive Serum.
Step 5: Moisturizer
Depending on your skin type, you may want to use a different moisturizer in the evening to prepare and protect your skin. Our Evening Emulsion Enzyme Moisturizer is specially formulated to provide deep moisturization with a proprietary enzyme complex to help skin rejuvenate itself as you sleep.
Step 6: Eye Treatment
The skin around the eyes is the most sensitive skin on your face, and the cause of many concerns of wrinkles and fine lines. To keep the windows to your soul surrounded by a healthy glow, our rich Eye Cream helps keep skin moisturized and full while helping you appear more alert and radiant.
Weekly
Face Mask
You may already know and practice this but doing a weekly face mask can be more than just a treat-yourself habit you do on the weekends. A professional formula can help hydrate and restore the skin, going deeper than your everyday routine does. Our Hydrating Mineral Mask provides deep moisture and establishes a protective barrier to help keep your skin smooth and silky.
