Mirror, mirror on the wall, when did these wrinkles pop up? Sure, ageing gracefully and embracing nature’s intent is the easiest approach, but if we can understand, and care for our skin a tad better and delay those fine lines with a few super products, what harm is in that?
There’s a whole load of factors that contribute to our personal ageing process, from genetics to diet and lifestyle. And then there is, of course, the environment (sun-damage, that includes you!), our skincare routines, and the products we use. We spoke to skincare guru Joseph Lewis, one of the leading cosmeceutical research scientists in the world, who has provided the skincare industry with significant anti-ageing technology breakthroughs including pioneering AHA technology and research, as well as star anti-ageing ingredients Idebenone, Coffeeberry and Triple Lipopeptide Complex, and developing and launching the world’s first glycolic acid product. And now, Joseph has teamed up with Elizabeth Arden to develop a new, superior anti-aging skincare weapon.
Here, Joe reveals the three most powerful anti-ageing ingredients and his latest innovative product…
The 3 Daily Ant-Ageing Ingredients…
“An SPF, antioxidants and DNA enzymes are the three ‘non-negotiables’ for saving your skin,” explains Joe. “Most of us know that SPF is needed daily to protect against damaged effects of the sun and that it is the most important step for anti-ageing protection. “But we also know that SPF is not enough. It’s like protecting your skin with Swiss cheese – it’s got holes in it. SPF does not provide protection against free radicals that constantly attack our skin from oxidative stress caused by ozone pollution, cigarette smoke, stress, diet – only antioxidants can do that. However, because no SPF or antioxidant is 100% efficient, damage to our cells still occurs, which leads to premature skin ageing, and that is why we now also have products with DNA enzymes, which acts like a backstop to mop up any existing damage and also protect against new damage. So DNA enzyme products are the third line of defence.”
