How to recognize the first signs of age and prevent them?

Skin ageing is a natural and inevitable process, but it is possible to slow it down. The appearance of the first signs of aging is linked to an excess of free radicals. To prevent them, simply adopt skin care products rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E or plant polyphenols. They help the skin combat oxidative stress and effectively prevent the signs of skin aging.

Wondering what the first signs of aging are? Here are 4 things to look out for:

• The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

By altering skin structures, free radicals contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dehydration can make them even more visible. If left unchecked, fine lines and wrinkles will eventually deepen as the skin's mechanisms weaken over time. The very fine skin around the eyes is often affected first.

• Loss of elasticity and firmness

Around the age of 30, production of the skin-supporting proteins elastin and collagen declines. Skin loses firmness and elasticity. Reserves of hyaluronic acid also decline: the skin retains less moisture and loses its plump appearance.

• Dull skin

Everyday stress, pollution and the slowing down of cell renewal can lead to a loss of radiance. The complexion can also reveal that your skin is affected by the first signs of aging.

• More pronounced eyes

The eye contour area is very sensitive, and fine lines quickly appear on crow's feet. With fatigue, dark circles and puffiness set in, weighing down the eyes. 

To limit the appearance of the first signs of aging, get into the habit of :

• Cleanse your skin thoroughly every evening

Even if you don't wear make-up, your skin needs to be cleansed morning and night. This removes dust, pollution particles and perspiration. Their accumulation can generate free radicals that damage the skin.

• Moisturize your skin every day

Moisturizing your skin every day is essential for maintaining its elasticity and suppleness. It limits the formation of dehydration furrows, which can later turn into fine lines. You'll keep your skin plump and radiant. Above all, choose skin care products that contain antioxidants to help your skin defend itself against external aggressors.

• Use specific eye contour care

This particularly fragile and sensitive area needs special care to prevent skin dehydration and to reduce the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles.

• Protect yourself from sun exposure

Protecting your skin from UVA and UVB rays helps limit photoaging and the appearance of pigmentation spots. Choose a NUXE Sun protection protection suited to your phototype and the sunlight conditions you experience.

• Exfoliate your skin once a week

This action removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin with a finer texture and more radiant appearance.
