If you want to have young and healthy skin, you need to follow 3 rules. ⠀ 1. EXFOLIATION. Retire grannies on time! Otherwise, skin may develop uneven texture and unhealthy colour + skin care products will struggle to penetrate. ⠀ 2. STIMULATION. Regularly activate/stimulate/wake up the cells of the 1st floor, so they constantly produce decent amounts of new cells to keep skin fresh and strong. ⠀ 3. STIMULATION. Regularly activate/stimulate/wake up Fibroblasts (daddy of Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic acid). ⠀ And here is the list of the most powerful stimulators: ⠀ 1) Vitamin A / retinol; 2) vitamin C; 3) acids. ⠀ This is why we can often see them in the adverts as well as on the jars of our creams and masks :) ⠀ (!) Whenever you want to get an anti-ageing effect from the cream, make sure it contains at least one of these stimulators. Thus, if you have a choic between cream with Collagen and cream with vitamin C, choose the 2nd option. ⠀ Collagen and Hyaluronic acid in a cream are able to comfortably moisturize the SURFACE of the skin, BUT they are NOT able to stimulate the 1st floor of Epidermis or Fibroblasts, thus, they dont have anti-ageing properties. And in most cases their molecules in creams are too big to get any deeper than the 5th floor! ⠀ It is also important to use these 3 leaders from the inside: consume with food. ⠀ For example, try to regularly add food rich in vitamin C to your diet (yellow pepper, strawberries, broccoli, citruses, etc.). ⠀ Google the top 10 of products rich in each of these stimulators and add them to your everyday menu.
