5 skin care lessons your 40-year-old self wish you knew sooner  

If your future self could sit you down for five minutes, what skin care tip would he or she tell you? 

Some skin care lessons are learnt the hard way – and that’s usually when it’s a little too late. Scroll as we share some tips on caring for your skin gracefully through the years.

1. Your moisturiser should change as your skin needs do

Still using the same moisturiser since your early 20s? It’s probably due for a change. That moisturiser may not be doing enough for your skin now, or it could even be too heavy if your skin has shifted the other way. Skin needs change with age, and moisturiser is the one key product you should keep adjusting to fit those. 

If you’re not sure which moisturiser fits your skin, here’s a quick guide:  

If your skin runs dry and needs deeper moisturisation, Moisturizer 6 is built for that.  

If your skin leans towards the oilier end and needs a more lightweight option, Emulsion A6 is a better fit.  

Still unsure which to choose? Take our Skin Studio AI skin quiz and we’ll help match you to the right moisturiser. If you’re looking for a more elaborative comparison, here’s how to choose the right moisturiser for your skin.

2. Peptides are the game-changers for anti-ageing care

By the time signs of ageing show up, it’s probably too late for your skin. Peptides have long been a key ingredient in the anti-ageing game. 

If you’re already spotting signs of ageing like fine lines, it’s time to include the AR Tab A3 + AR Essence A3 duo in your routine. 

Age Arrest A3 Set is a complimentary duo formulated with our proprietary E-factor peptide. This growth factor-mimicking peptide acts like our skin’s natural growth factor, reminding itself to conduct cell renewal. This in turn helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity with consistent use.

3. Your neck ages faster than your face, and most routines skip it entirely

Neck skin is thinner, more delicate and has fewer oil glands than facial skin. This means that sagging skin, dryness and horizontal lines show up earliest here, and yet most routines leave it out completely.

NeckLift Cream targets this exact concern. This neck firming cream targets sagging skin, horizontal neck lines and loss of elasticity.

Powered by A.C.E Lift, our proprietary botanical-peptide blend, NeckLift Cream is clinically proven* to improve the appearance of horizontal neck lines by 16%, skin firmness by 10% and elasticity by 11%.

*Based on an instrumental study, conducted on 31 Asian adults with dry, loose neck skin and neck wrinkles, aged 31 to 53 over 56 days, by an independent scientific laboratory.

4. Skin care works harder when your overall health is on track too

Skin is the downstream of everything else happening in the body — bad gut health shows up as breakouts, low energy slows down cell repair overnight and nutrient gaps mean actives ingredients have less foundation to work with. Besides skin care, nutritional needs are just as important to be taken care of to maintain your skin condition.

If you’re looking to elevate your skin care routine, the Get Glowing Radiance Pack from our sister supplement brand, Avance, is thoughtfully curated for those concerned with dull skin, dark spots and visible signs of ageing.

Combining the benefits of Glo Caps, QQ Collagen and HA Jelly, this beauty-from-within trio works synergistically to support a brighter, more luminous complexion while promoting skin hydration and a youthful glow.

5. Starting early beats catching up later

When you start seeing the signs, that means it’s too late. The earlier good anti-ageing skin care habits start, the less there is to catch up on later.
