Aging skin is a natural process, but it may start happening sooner than we like. The team at elline Switzerland share their top reasons to incorporate specially formulated anti-aging products into your daily skincare routine, and which ingredients in creams, serums and masks are the most effective to rejuvenate your skin.

Postpone the signs of aging
 Environmental stresses like pollution and the natural process of ageing lead to a drop in moisture. Making friends with a good quality moisturiser is one of the best decisions you can make for your skin. Look for a moisturiser with hyaluronic acid because it acts on your elasticity making your face taut and wrinkle-free.

You also need to consider hydration – drinking plenty of water and reducing your alcohol and caffeine intake will benefit your skin, together with using a gentle cleanser, a serum with hyaluronic acid and a good quality exfoliator.

Both hydration and moisturisation are essential for your skin but target your skin differently. While hydration works towards maintaining the water level of your skin, moisturisation helps lock the natural moisture level of your skin.

Invest in quality products
Your skin is very precious. When it comes to skincare products, shop from the brands you trust. Read the customer reviews if you are trying a brand or a product from that brand for the first time. A few pennies saved at the cost of your skin is not a wise decision in the long run.

elline’s Treasures of Youth collection is based on a unique and effective combination of precious spherical gold crystals, highest quality hyaluronic acid, pure liposomal encapsulated Swiss glacier water, and rare edelweiss extract, which is captured for elline at a height of over 1500 meters in the Swiss Alps.

The products use ingredients that are safe for your skin and contain no harmful chemicals or harmful synthetic dyes. The products are totally vegan and are cruelty-free giving your skin the best care that it deserves.

Protect your skin from the sun – even in winter
Sunscreens are not just for summer. If you want to keep your skin healthy, apply a good quality sunscreen before going out; even on a bright winter’s day.

Your body needs Vitamin D, which it only gets from sun rays. Its deficiency can lead to several diseases like rickets and hyperthyroidism, but be sure to apply sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF before you step out.

Sun rays also have ultraviolet rays in them, which are harmful to your skin, no matter what time of year. Sunscreen prevents exposure of skin to UV rays. Excess exposure to the sun causes the skin to go dry, which leads to flakiness, wrinkles, fine lines, and sunspots; all signs of aging.

elline’s Treasures of Youth Luxe Day Cream SPF 30 contains a precious anti-aging complex comprising spherical gold crystals and short-chain hyaluronic acid to nourish your skin and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and imperfections.
