Let’s face it: No one wants to spend their hard-earned on anti-aging products and not get the best results they possibly can. We’re going to give you professional tips on everything from application techniques that are a little different from what your mom taught you to the one step you should never skip and even how the timing of the application on these products makes a huge difference in their efficacy.

Exfoliate your skin at least once per week

This step is key if you want your anti-aging products to perform optimally. Removing the top layer of dead, dry skin cells allow age-fighting ingredients to penetrate deep below the surface where they can do their job. We recommend NuPeel Natural Enzyme Peel, an enzyme gel, that gently removes dead skin cell without harsh abrasives.

Use your anti-aging products consistently and stick with them

Those wrinkles didn’t form overnight and they aren’t going to disappear overnight. Most medical-grade products (those backed by science, not marketing buzz words) take around 12 weeks to start seeing results. Sticking to a routine for the long-term will deliver the best results. Also, using your anti-aging products daily on a regular basis will help you get the most out of them. And a word to the wise - don’t stop using them once you see results!

Don’t skip the serums

Applying an antioxidant serum under your anti-aging cream is what you need for targeted results. Choose one with hyaluronic acid as an active ingredient to give skin a dose of hydration while the anti-aging products work on the wrinkles. Our favorite is OPC Reparative Serum. 

Treat your skin to a facial treatment

Scheduling complementary treatments such as chemical peels or laser treatments will help speed the anti-aging process up.

Apply anti-aging products to moist skin

Applying these products immediately after washing your face will make your skin more absorbent and allows them to penetrate more readily and evenly.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen

We cannot stress this one enough! The sun is the second-leading cause of premature aging so make sure you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily or you will sabotage your results! Platinum Protection Facial Sunscreen provides broad-spectrum coverage with an SPF of 43. It is oil-free so it works well under your makeup. It was designed to not burn your eyes as well as not leave a white sheen!
