\"pillars<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You know what I love about skincare products and information these days? It’s that there is so much information out there, and so many products and brands that help us achieve what we want for our skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to broadly focus on 2 areas of skin concerns in the past – hydration and anti-aging. While trying to find products that suited this ‘anti-aging’ category, I realised that ‘anti-aging’ is such a broad category, with so many products that claim to be it. For my purposes, I decided to narrow it down further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, there are 3 specific types of products in my skincare routine that I maintain to address my ‘anti-aging’ concerns. These concerns are primarily lines, skin firmness and dull skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would it concern me if I don’t make a fuss about growing older, you ask? Well, because I’m vain – as are most people! \ud83d\ude1b \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From experience over the years, these 3 products\/ingredients have made a noticeable difference to the quality of my skin, and I am more partial to maintaining them in my skincare routine for this reason. They form the pillars of my skincare routine now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is that I can find these products\/ingredients in all price ranges, so I can use a more pricey product if I’m feeling flush, but can also use an affordable one if the budget calls for it. That’s the beauty of focusing on an effective ingredient, as opposed to a general skincare product from a specific brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am a huge huge fan of products containing Vitamin C. I am partial to using a Vitamin C serum as my experience with this ingredient over the years has been nothing but amazing! It is an antioxidant that protects skin from agressors within and without, and also helps improve skin texture and appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found that with regular use of a Vitamin C serum, my skin is brighter and stronger. If you have problems with freckles or pigmentation, Vitamin C serums can help you keep it under control and reduce their appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been using Vitamin C serums for a few years now, and I swear by it to keep my skin bright and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n

Is there one product I can recommend? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not really. I’m not terribly anal about the type of Vitamin C that is in the product. I do find that serums with L-Ascorbic Acid do work better and more quickly, but they also oxidise more quickly. I personally opt for products with a high percentage, as my skin tolerates it well, and I see results with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I know that some people find Vitamin C irritating to the skin, so start with a lower percentage, or a different Vitamin C derivative that may be less irritating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
