Your Complete Guide to Anti Aging Skincare Routines

Noticing fine lines, dark spots, or wrinkles starting to appear? These are natural signs of aging, but the good news is they can be managed with the right skincare.

The secret to youthful looking skin is a consistent routine and choosing the right ingredients. With proper care, you can slow down the signs of aging while keeping your skin healthy and glowing.

So what kind of skincare really works against aging? Let’s dive into the full guide from L’Occitane!

What Is Anti Aging Skincare?

Anti aging skincare refers to facial treatments specially formulated to slow down and reduce visible signs of aging.

The main focus of these treatments is the use of sunscreen to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

The treatments also often include powerful active ingredients such as retinol and vitamin C, which help stimulate collagen production while strengthening the skin’s barrier.

Today, there are also more natural alternatives that are gentler on the skin compared to these actives. One of them is the immortelle flower, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help improve overall skin texture.

L’Occitane offers a range of anti-aging skincare products, especially in the Immortelle Divine and Immortelle Harmonie collections, both enriched with immortelle flowers sourced from Provence, France.

When Should You Start Using Anti Aging Skincare?

A lot of people think anti-aging products are only needed once they hit their 40s or 50s. The truth is, it is best to start as early as 25.

Why 25? Because that is when preventive care makes the biggest difference. Taking care of your skin early helps delay the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness.

This does not mean you need a complicated routine. You can start by finding products that suit your skin type and, above all, never skip sunscreen.

When it comes to skincare, prevention is always easier than trying to fix problems later. Protect and care for your skin now, and your future self will thank you.

How to Apply Anti Aging Skincare

The right way to do an anti-aging routine is usually divided into two parts: morning and evening care.

Morning Anti Aging Skincare Routine

1. Cleanse Your Face

Right after waking up, wash your face with a gentle cleanser or facial foam that suits your skin type. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry using a towel reserved only for your face.

2. Use a Toner

Toner helps restore the skin’s pH balance after cleansing. It also hydrates the skin and prepares it to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively.

3. Apply Serum

Using a serum in the morning is important because it is packed with active ingredients that penetrate the skin quickly. This gives your skin extra protection against pollution, UV rays, and free radicals throughout the day.

4. Apply Eye Cream

Eye cream helps hydrate the delicate eye area, reduce puffiness, and brighten dark circles for a fresher look.

5. Moisturize Your Skin

Moisturizer restores hydration and strengthens the skin barrier. It keeps your skin soft, supple, and protected against pollution, dust, and irritation during the day.

6. Protect with Sunscreen

The most important step in your morning routine is sunscreen. Always apply one with at least SPF 30. If you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, choose SPF 50 for maximum protection against UV rays.

Evening Anti Aging Skincare Routine

1. Double Cleanse

After a long day, the first step in your evening routine is double cleansing to remove dirt, oil, and pollution from the skin. Start with an oil based cleanser such as micellar water or cleansing oil, then follow with a water based cleanser like a facial wash.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and buildup on the skin’s surface. This can be done using a gentle scrub cloth or skincare products that contain AHA or BHA.

Exfoliation should not be done daily. Some people find twice a week works best, while others may only need it once a week depending on their skin.

3. Apply Toner or Essence

After cleansing, use a toner or essence to rebalance the skin’s pH and prepare it for the next steps. This also helps restore hydration after double cleansing.

4. Use an Anti Aging Serum

Apply 3–4 drops of anti aging serum to your palms and gently spread it across your face. If you have sensitive skin, natural alternatives with immortelle are recommended since they are gentler on the skin.

5. Apply Eye Cream

The delicate area around the eyes is prone to early signs of aging like fine lines and dark circles. Nighttime is the best time to smooth and nourish this area, so do not skip your eye cream.

6. Moisturize

Moisturizer is the final step to lock in all the hydration from your routine. Apply a pea sized amount and massage it gently upward and outward to boost circulation and absorption.

7. Apply Face Oil

As an optional extra step, face oil provides deep hydration and leaves the skin looking plump, smooth, and healthy.
