Many women who are about to enter their 30s are reviewing their beauty routine and want to make a place for a very effective active ingredient: retinol. Of course, there are a wide range of benefits associated with retinol, especially when it comes to anti-aging.
Vitamin A stimulates new cell production and regulates cell turnover, helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and increases collagen and elastin synthesis. The end result is visibly firmer skin and a more radiant complexion.
However, retinol can also make the skin overly dry or even irritated, especially when a woman first applies it to her face, making her question whether this ingredient is really right for her or not. .
If you're new to using retinol and want to know all about this famous ingredient, we've got all your questions answered.
At what age should you start using retinol?
Retinol not only softens the skin's texture, but also strengthens its all-important barrier, helping to protect against signs of aging in the future. Studies have shown that we lose about 1% of our collagen every year starting at age 20, so if you want to introduce retinol into your beauty routine, you can do it from age 25 onwards.
How can you manage the side effects of retinol?
Today, retinol formulas cause far fewer side effects. However, if your skin reacts, be sure to keep it properly hydrated by applying moisturizer after each use of retinol. Look for retinoids with encapsulated technology, the delivery of which helps reduce the chance of irritation. It is also absolutely necessary to put on a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day when using retinol, as it makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Can you use retinol if you have sensitive skin?
If you know your skin is sensitive, be sure to gradually incorporate retinol into your routine. Start by applying it two to three times a week and over time increase the dose. (A2 Televizion)
