What Should I Use for Anti-Aging Benefits?
Let's face it, aging is natural. Over time, we all develop fine lines on our skin, our skin becomes thinner, drier, and our skin spots mark memories from our time in the sun.
But not all aging is natural, and there are preventative measures that we can do to slow down premature signs of environmental aging- and refreshen skin to some of it's youthful glory.
Here are some suggestions for how you can use our products for youthful, healthy skin.
Night-time routine
Step 1- Cleanse
Try oil cleansing with the Farm Girl Cleansing Oil.
The top layer of skin is beneficial and contains the hydro-lipid-barrier and acid mantle. Meaning it is your skin's waterproof seal, helping the skin retain water and shielding you from foreign substances trying to enter your body. The acid mantle is the natural layer of acidic oils on the skin that fights acne. When harsh soaps and cleansers are used on the skin they often strip this barrier and it causes dry irritated skin, more sensitive skin, dermatitis, rashes, acne, or it leads to an overproduction of oil in the skin as the skin tries to compensate. Oil cleansing improves the skin’s ability to regulate oil production and can moisturize and nourish the skin as it cleanses it. As oil attracts oil, it is really effective in removing makeup as well as grease and grime from the day. It’s also easy and effective to do! Here’s a quick tutorial on how to oil cleanse.
Step 2- Sculpt
While the skin is still saturated with the cleansing oil, perform a gua sha routine. Here are some examples of gua sha routines you can try.
Step 3- Balance
Tone the skin with Pure Rose Facial Toner.
Rose water reduces inflammation, skin redness, show that rose water offers protection against the breakdown of collagen and elastin, and also provides defense against free radicals.
Step 4 - Treat
Target skin goals with one of our natural serums. For anti-aging benefits that are nourishing while also evening skin tone, I recommend the Rose Glow Serum. For dry skin, try the Plum Glow Serum.
To target discoloration and dark spots, I recommend trying the Brightening Vitamin C Serum.
Step 5- Moisturize
Moisturize and nourish the skin with Fresh Face Cream.
Morning routine
Step 1 - Freshen
Rinse the face with water only
Step 2 - Balance
Mist on the Toner
Step 3 - Target
Apply your serum.
Step 4 - Moisturize
Apply cream only if you need extra moisturizing.
Step 5 - Protect
Apply a non-nanoparticle zinc oxide cream as a mineral sunscreen.
Frequently
2-3 times a week, gently exfoliate the skin with the Wild Rose Facial Cleansing Grains.
1X per week, you can do the Wild Rose + Honey Probiotic Mask, and I would mix it with yogurt or honey for some extra soothing.
Additional Suggestions
Consider purchasing red light therapy. Here is a link to my favorite red light therapy products. Why try red light therapy? Red Light and Near Infrared Light therapy stimulate your body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps keep the skin firm and elastic. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By boosting collagen production, red light therapy can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
