Achieving eternal youth is impossible, but maintaining firm and elastic skin is definitely within reach. If you know which active ingredients truly have a rejuvenating effect, you can easily provide your skin with proper hydration and firmness. It’s worth knowing this even when buying ready-made cosmetics – check if they contain ingredients that actually work.
Buying ready-made products isn't the only option. If you don't want to overpay for colorful packaging and a well-known brand, you can make your own cosmetics. What ingredients should you definitely include?
Hyaluronic acid intensely moisturizes and prevents water loss. It fills in fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful appearance. This substance also supports regenerative processes and has antioxidant effects. You can add a few drops of hyaluronic acid to your cream, body lotion, or serum.
Collagen and elastin are two substances that are natural building blocks of human skin. They give it elasticity, firmness, and help retain moisture. The level of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases with age (starting as early as 25), causing a loss of firmness, dryness, and the appearance of wrinkles. A collagen booster with elastin can be added to creams or lotions, or diluted with water or hydrosol and used as a spray for the face and body (especially recommended for the neck and décolletage). This product intensely moisturizes, restores skin elasticity, and smooths wrinkles by increasing skin tissue.
Liftiss is a specialized ingredient that strongly tightens the skin. It’s especially recommended as an ingredient in lifting creams for sagging, less firm skin, and for preventative care – to prevent the first signs of aging. Liftiss comes in the form of an orange gel (it doesn’t stain the skin!) and is rich in moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and cell-regenerating substances. It should be added to creams in an amount not exceeding 10% of the total volume.
Squalane improves skin firmness, making wrinkles less visible. It is derived from olives, and a similar substance is naturally present in the human body, protecting the skin from moisture loss. Its production decreases with age, leading to dryness and a loss of skin tension, so it’s beneficial to supplement it externally. Additionally, squalane is a strong antioxidant that protects against free radicals.
The liposome complex contains natural extracts with powerful anti-wrinkle effects. You can choose either an anti-wrinkle complex or one with hexapeptide – both formulas have strong anti-aging properties. This preparation stimulates estrogen production, the formation of hyaluronic acids, and collagen production. It has strong antioxidant properties, strengthens and seals blood vessel walls, and stimulates cell division and renewal, improving skin circulation. This complex is an ingredient in many luxury cosmetic products – now you can add it to your daily cream or use it diluted as a spray for your face and body.
