Your Ultimate Guide to Well Ageing
Embrace Well-Ageing With Confidence
Looked in the mirror lately? We mean, have you taken a good long look at your skin, without any products or make up? If you notice dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness under your eyes, dry patches and smile lines around your mouth, guess what? Your skin has begun ageing. Each year as you celebrate another year round the sun, your skin is on its own trip too. In fact, you begin to age in your 30s, which is a lot earlier than people would imagine.
Ageing is a natural and beautiful journey, and caring for your skin is one of the best ways to embrace it with confidence. That’s where the concept of Well-Ageing comes in. Well-Ageing is a holistic approach to wellness, from head-to-toe, honouring your skin’s natural changes, and feeling confident at every stage of your life. In this blog, we explore essential skincare practices, powerful ingredients, and lifestyle habits that support radiant, resilient skin as you age gracefully.
Well-Ageing Through Ayurveda
While many skincare trends come and go, the practices of Ayurveda are lifelong for long-term benefits, and results in a healthier mind, body and soul, and thereby a healthier you.
Ageing gracefully is not just about skincare. It’s a journey of holistic wellness that blends science with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. By aligning your lifestyle habits to focus on balance, nourishment, mindful rituals, and inner wellness, you can support your goal of healthy, radiant skin, no matter your age.
Here are 5 lifestyle habits you need to invest in ASAP for Well-Ageing:
1) Regular Hydration - Water helps, but is not enough. You need to use a good moisturiser that keeps your skin hydrated through the day, and a night cream or serum for overnight hydration. Regularly consuming food items heavy in water content such as watermelon, cucumber celery and cantaloupe - in other words to ‘eat your water’ - helps your skin detox, and get the essential hydration it needs.
2) Use Sunscreen Daily - Definitely when outdoors, and even when indoors. According to dermatologists, sun exposure is the leading cause of skin damage. So layer on the SPF to suit your climate.
3) Eat A Balanced Diet - Ensure your meals are rich in vitamins and minerals that include natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and seeds. Herbal teas and infusions are also a great addition. Protein sources such as fish, fish oil, bone broth, and eggs are also nutrient heavy food that help the collagen production for healthy skin.
4) Rest. Mindfulness. Movement - Your body is your temple. A key part of Well-Ageing is head-to-toe wellbeing. Relaxation techniques, such as mindful breathing, facial yoga, meditation, nature walks, and being near plants, sources of water, and natural lighting all contribute to achieving a sense of balance and holistic wellness. Most importantly, you need to allow yourself plenty of rest - at least 7 to hours of sleep each night, where you unplug, and unwind. Quality sleep is essential for your skin to repair and restore overnight.
5) Have a Regular Skincare Routine - This is where the real commitment counts - as skincare is self-care, and the by making it a daily ritual for your well-being, just a few minutes each day at the start, and before bedtime, you are making a long-term investment for healthy, nourished skin.
Where do I start? Which products are suitable for my skin at this age? These can be a few of the questions running through your mind. Read on, as we set out to answer them all for you!
Well-Ageing Skincare In 20s, 30s & Beyond…
Well-ageing skincare focuses on nurturing your skin’s health, rather than fighting wrinkles or fine lines. Essentially, it’s about helping your skin look and feel its best at every stage of life. While many out there race to turn back the clock with various anti ageing creams, we want you to take a moment and embrace your journey, right where you are.
When it comes to well-ageing skincare, focusing on preventing issues BEFORE they start is the most effective. Ideally, you need to start thinking about skincare in your mid-20s. Focus on preserving your youthful appearance to prevent the first signs of ageing.
The Spa Ceylon White Rice range infused with cold-pressed rice bran oil that is rich in natural antioxidant and youth-giving Gamma Oryzanol, is a great way to begin your skincare journey in your 20s. It protects your skin against the first signs of ageing, and provides nourishment to your skin, with day, night, and under-eye skincare, for a youthful glow.
In your 30s, maintaining is key by revitalising your skin through collagen-boosting natural actives, and Ayurveda WonderHerbs. Whereas in your 40s (and after), your skin is now in its mature stage. Corrective skincare with retinol, and rejuvenating oils will be your main priority, to help restore your skin balance, and protect any further damage to your skin barrier. At this age, your collagen production slows down, decreasing your skin’s elasticity. If left untreated, your skin will start to sag, be dry and dull.
The Spa Ceylon Skin Smooth Bakuchiol range with its age refining properties is an ideal skin wellness range for this stage of your skincare journey. Infused with natural actives from the Bakuchi flower, it is the natural retinol alternative, which can be used both during day and night. Including two power-packed products, a face cream, and an international award-winning day and night serum, the Bakuchiol range is luxurious in texture, and a tribute to graceful ageing.
Now you have it, your ultimate guide to Well-Ageing. But all of its potential and results depend on you. You have the power to start your journey to ageing well, not just for healthy skin, but for an overall better quality of life. By embracing a well-ageing approach that nurtures both skin and overall well-being, you can glow from the inside out at every stage of life.
