Beautiful skin in old age is a case for the gene lottery? Are you serious when you say that? Premature skin ageing can often be prevented – with the proper knowledge and an intelligent slow-ageing strategy. How quickly our skin ages is only written down to 20 to 30 per cent in our DNA. Lifestyle decides the rest, and you have that in your own hands. Find out what anti-ageing has to do with brushing your teeth and how you can get the most out of your complexion with skincare, nutrition and quality products.

 What exactly does anti ageing mean?

Anti-ageing is prevention with common sense and therefore concerns every skin at every age. It includes all measures that effectively prevent premature skin ageing with Skincare. Prevention is better than aftercare when it comes to skin health. It is easier to delay the ageing process of the skin when you are younger than to try to reverse wrinkles later. If you start smart slow-ageing in time, you can permanently gain years in appearance!

Anti-ageing is a holistic concept that goes far beyond creams or cosmetic procedures. Diet, sport, stress level – you can make skin-smart decisions in all areas of life. We want to encourage you that the time you invest in your skincare routine pays off. You, too, can age slowly, well-groomed and self-determined.

What happens with skin ageing?

Firm skin and a youthful glow for the rest of our lives? I’m sure we all dream of that. In reality, skin ageing has become visible over the years. First, there are a few fine lines on the forehead, then suddenly deeper furrows form around the mouth, and at some point, even age spots appear. Sounds unfair? A natural process is responsible for these changes.

From the age of 25, cell renewal slows down, so our complexion looks sallow faster. In addition, the body’s collagen production also decreases. But collagen is the driving factor behind the resilience and elasticity of our skin. Suppose it can no longer fulfil this critical task so well, our complexion changes. The skin not only loses its rosy colour but appears less plump and shiny.

Because collagen also acts as a moisturizer, our skin is less able to store moisture. All of these factors combine to make us look less “fresh”. But do you have to accept all this?

How nutrition and vitamins help prevent skin ageing

Are you eating chocolate croissants and looking like your best at 50? Unfortunately, that is impossible if you want to slow down your ageing process. Instead, it would help if you focused on a healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains & lots of plant-based protein in the form of legumes. Natural foods are essential for daily stress metabolism – and can prevent premature skin ageing.

 The beta-carotene in vegetables such as broccoli and carrots, for example, protects the lower layers of the skin from aggressive solar radiation and prevents skin cancer. In short: Fruit and vegetables contain many vitamins and nutrients that make your skin, hair and teeth beautiful. Incidentally, the undisputed leader in anti-ageing food is green leafy vegetables such as spinach, chard or kale. Skincare from the inside – enjoy it!
