What is an anti-ageing cream?

An anti-ageing cream is a cosmetic product designed to help prevent or reduce the signs of ageing in the skin, such as wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness and elasticity, dryness and dullness.

These creams usually contain active ingredients that act on the various processes that affect the skin with age, such as decreased collagen and elastin production, free radical damage and moisture loss. The active ingredients may vary depending on the brand and formula of the anti-ageing cream, but typically include antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, retinol, peptides, vitamins and minerals.

Anti-ageing creams are applied to clean, dry skin, usually in the morning and/or evening, and gently massaged in until absorbed.

The best ingredients for an anti-ageing cream: antioxidants and anti-inflammatories

3. Antioxidants: such as vitamin C and Ewhich can help protect the skin from free radicals and UV damage.
4. Ceramidesare molecules that can help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the skin's firmness and elasticity, as well as reinforce our dermal hydro-lipid barrier.
5. Niacinamideis a form of vitamin B3 that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, and increase the production of ceramides, which are important for skin barrier health.
6. Centella AsiaticaCentella asiatica is a natural ingredient that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various skin conditions. In cosmetics, it has become popular because of its ability to improving health and appearance of the skin.

The great moisturiser: Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic acid is a compound naturally present in the human body found in the skin, joints and other connective tissues. It is a popular ingredient in skin care products due to its numerous benefits.

Here are six benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin:

1. HydrationHyaluronic acid is a natural humectant that can help retain moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft.
2. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Hyaluronic acid can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by improving skin hydration and elasticity.
3. Improves skin elasticityHyaluronic acid can help improve skin elasticity by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
4. Protection against environmental damage: Hyaluronic acid can help protect the skin from environmental damage, including UV exposure and pollution.
5. Helps repair the skin barrierHyaluronic acid can help strengthen the skin barrier, which is essential for keeping skin healthy and protected.
6. Improves skin texture and toneHyaluronic acid can help improve skin texture and tone by stimulating cell renewal and improving hydration.

Please note that the benefits of hyaluronic acid may vary depending on the formulation and concentration of the ingredient in the product. Therefore, it is advisable to look for products from trusted brands and consult with a dermatologist or skin care professional to find the products that best suit your needs and skin type.

Hyaluronic Acid can be compared to a sponge that retains volume and moisture in our skin and body. This compound is produced naturally by our body, but as we age, we produce less of it.

The inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid in a cream can provide an increase in volume and hydration, which helps prevent premature skin ageing. In addition, this cream can provide a smooth effect similar to that of an Instagram filter.

Protection: Ceramides

Ceramides are lipids or fats found naturally in the skin, where they play an important role in the skin barrier. This barrier is the protective layer that helps maintain hydration and protects the skin from external agents such as pollution and irritants.

In the skin, ceramides help maintain moisture and elasticity, and also contribute to cell regeneration. As we age, the amount of ceramides decreases, which can lead to drier and less protected skin.

Because of their essential role in the skin barrier, ceramides are a popular ingredient in skin care products. Creams and serums containing ceramides can help restore and strengthen the skin barrier, which can improve skin hydration and elasticity, and protect against external agents.

Studies Recent studies have shown that topical application of a combination of ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids can accelerate skin barrier repair in patients with atopic dermatitis.

Therefore, if you are looking to improve the health of your skin and achieve a hydrated and juicy appearance, the inclusion of ceramides in your skincare regime can be beneficial.

The professor, the great regulator of oxidation and inflammation: CBD

The cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce psychoactive effects and has been investigated for its potential health benefits.

The CBD has been used in skin care products due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and redness of the skin.

Their potential use has also been explored in the treatment of acne, dermatitis and psoriasisalthough more research is needed to confirm its effects on these conditions.

CBD acts on the skin by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin. endocannabinoid system receptors. These receptors are found in skin cells and are involved in a variety of processes, such as the regulation of inflammation, sebum production and cell renewal.

CBD is known to have properties anti-inflammatory y antioxidants that can help to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the skin. It can also help regulate sebum production, which can be beneficial in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions.

In addition, it has been shown that CBD can interact with other signalling systems in the skin, such as the TRPV1which is involved in the regulation of the pain and the feeling of itching.

In general, CBD can act on the skin in a variety of ways, making it an interesting ingredient in skincare products to help improve the health and appearance of the skin.

Skin care ritual with CBD:

We begin our morning routine at 8:00 a.m. by gently moisturising and cleansing the face. Then, we towel dry the skin and apply the Anti-Ageing Cream with CBD (The Chill Cream) for an immediate good face effect, which will moisturise and plump our skin all day long. This cream is ideal for use before make-up as it provides a smooth, mattifying effect without pilling. If you prefer a juicier finish, apply a few drops of the CBD Serum to 2% and Bakuchiol to 1%.

After the cream, we apply the Lip Balm with CBD to protect and nourish the lips. If we want to add antioxidants to our diet, we can opt for some antioxidant-rich teas, such as green tea, black tea, chai or turmeric infusion.

Before going to bed, we cleanse our skin thoroughly and apply a few drops of the CBD Serum, warming it slightly in the palms of our hands before applying it to the skin. This plant-based formula rich in fatty acids and omega 3 and 6 regulates oxidation cycles and balances the production of oil and cells in our skin. Afterwards, apply a little Moisturising Cream with CBD y CBD Body Oil (if you showered in the morning, apply the lotion then). This way, our skin will be nourished and ready to rest overnight.
