How to Reduce the Visible Signs of Aging Skin.

Fine lines are a normal part of skin aging. They can begin showing up in our 20s and 30s and beyond. But even if fine lines are inevitable, we can still work to prevent and reduce their appearance with a consistent and quality skin care routine. To achieve a smooth, more youthful-looking complexion, here are a few tips that can help.

1. Choose Serums with Epidermal Growth Factor.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) like ours from barley, acts as a moisture-binding signaling protein that encourages the natural production of collagen and helps your skin maintain optimal hydration. Consider using both our EGF Serum for the face as well as our more concentrated fine line eye serum featuring plant-based EGF as the key ingredient. It is often the eye area that shows visible signs of aging initially and typically that’s in the form of crow’s feet. Thankfully, our growth factor serums are suitable for all skin types.

2. Find Your Moisturizer Match.

As you age, your skin often becomes drier, making fine lines appear more visible. Hydration is key to plumping the appearance of skin and noticeably reducing the look of fine lines as a result. Choosing a moisturizer for your specific skin concerns or skin type is essential, whether it’s our oil-free hydrating cream or our rich anti-aging cream, EGF Power Cream that’s designed to tackle a variety of concerns, such as the look of sunspots and deep wrinkles.

3. Keep Those Pores Clean and Clear.

Whether it’s by using the right kind of cleanser for your type of skin, regular exfoliation, or incorporating weekly beauty masking like our Imprinting Hydrogel Mask, your skin will appear noticeably healthier and smoother-looking if you build in the right steps to help keep your pores clean and clear. It’s important to use products that slough off dead skin cells, remove excess oil, makeup, and other impurities from your pores. These steps can also produce a positive effect by helping your other skin care products absorb better and work harder.

4. Consider Healthy Habits and Good Lifestyle Choices.

If you ask anyone with glowing skin what their secret is, most often you’ll find that there really is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet. Eating a diet that features lots of antioxidant-rich vegetables, plus committing to regular exercise and regularly getting good sleep, are often cited as top reasons for noticeably healthier, more youthful-looking skin. And it’s certainly hard to argue with that!

5. Sunscreen Is Not an Option.

Regardless of whether it’s sunny or cloudy outside, sunscreen is a need-to-have in your skin care routine every day. It’s one of, if not the most significant products you can use daily, especially because most noticeable signs of premature skin aging are due to the sun. Prevention is really the key to reducing the appearance of fine lines to begin with. Application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with adequate SPF rating should be the last step in your daily morning skin care regimen but is always the most important one.

6. Skin Treatments Can Help.

When lifestyle or changes to your diet aren’t giving you the results you seek, skin treatments might be a good option that can help produce more visible results, like reducing the look of fine lines. Microneedling, laser treatments, fillers, or other skin treatments under the guidance and supervision of a trained professional of course, may all be worth exploring depending on your specific skin goals and needs. Be sure to talk to your dermatologist about what the best fit for your skin is.
