The Visible Signs of Aging Skin, and How to Fight Them

The signs of aging seem pretty obvious: lines and wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin…

Unfortunately, the remedies for these common concerns are not so obvious! Here’s a closer look at the most common issues of maturing skin and the products we’ve formulated to help your skin look and feel its best at every age.

What Causes Volume Loss

As you age, your epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, becomes thinner, which can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. This is largely because collagen levels in your skin begin to drop by 1-2% every year after age 20, resulting in volume loss, reduced elasticity and weaker, more fragile skin. You can combat the appearance of volume loss with a wide range of formulations, including

• Focus Care Youth+ Concentrated Retinol Serums 1-3, which help improve the look of uneven skin tone, reveal a firmer and smoother look to skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and premature aging.
• Youth EssentiA Antioxidant Defence Creme Plus, which is packed with vitamins A and C, protective antioxidants, peptides and other ingredients to help provide firmer-looking, more youthful-appearing skin.
• Focus Care Moisture+ HA Intensive Hydrating Serum contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid for the appearance of smoother and plumper skin with the benefits of more resilience.

What Are Pigmentation Spots

Areas of skin that are exposed to sun are prone to revealing darker spots of pigmentation, often referred to as age spots or sun spots. Did you know that any type of dark spot on your skin is considered hyperpigmentation, an area where pigmentation or color appears in concentration? Think of freckles or sun spots. Fortunately, we have formulations that help brighten the look of the skin and reveal the appearance of a more even tone, including:

• Focus Care Radiance+ Intense C-Boost Mela-Even Cream, a special oil-soluble vitamin C-infused cream that helps improve the look of uneven skin tone, skin laxity and sun damage.
• C-quence Energising Masque, a gentle micro-exfoliant mask formulated to help soften the look of fine lines, brighten dullness and reveal more even looking skin tone.
• Youth EssentiA Antioxidant Defence Creme is packed with antioxidants and vitamins to help the appearance of your skin look younger for longer.

Why Do I Have Dry, Itchy Skin?

With age, the skin’s sebaceous glands produce less oil, which can result in dry, itchy skin.

• Focus Care Moisture+ Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser contains a variety of moisturizers and emollients that help enhance the skin’s natural protective barrier while helping it feel nourished, moisturized and refreshed.
• Youth EssentiA Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum is packed with vitamin E, lycopene and five natural amino acids that work synergistically to revitalize skin’s appearance and keep it looking younger.
