People Don't Believe My Mother Is 71 – Here Are The 8 Anti-Aging Serum She Uses
Six years ago, my family experienced a panic when my 65-year-old mother was rushed to the ER to receive an emergency cardioversion — aka a medical paddle used to restart his heart. The day before the emergency room trip, we were traveling, and my mother (who discovered she had a high sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and a French pastry filled with almonds for breakfast and then later. after dinner a little vanilla ice cream cone. As he explained, sugar (at least for him) was enough to send his heart to atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.
"Though frightening to experience, it has been a blessing in disguise," he told me. "I removed heavy doses of sugar from my diet and noticed that my skin began to look better. Shortly thereafter, I was forced to watch a PBS program that I recorded called The Age Fix prepared by plastic surgeon Anthony Youn (and later read his book with the same name ). I refrain from watching the show because I know it is not my personal choice to go the route of plastic surgery when it comes to age. prevention, but as a makeup artist who specializes in helping women over 50 I felt there might be some useful information. "
As my mother told me on the phone, Youn connected the dots for her when she said the most important thing that could What we do for our skin is to eat a clean, healthy diet, and sugar is usually the equivalent of wrinkles. So when my mom started to reduce her sugar intake and make healthier choices when it came to food and snacks, her skin began to look better and better, and she became more interested in what more he could do to help with some age-related redness, dark spots, fine lines, and less delicate lines that were even harder to miss when he looked in the mirror every morning. (His words, not mine!)
"Honestly, I am also ashamed to admit that I did not do much other than a morning face wash in the shower, some moisturizer under my makeup, and a cleaning at night, "he laughed. “But as I started checking out serums that improve skin and products that could benefit my skin, I realized that in order to get the best results from these products, I had to make sure these formulas were can penetrate deep into my skin.I bought a Clarisonic Brush ($ 50) that, according to research, can get your skin six times cleaner than a normal cleansing routine , and I started adding some other skin rejuvenating products to my lifestyle. "
However, until my mother started introducing various anti-aging serums in her skincare routine she said she really noticed a difference in the appearance of her skin. "I also switched to a natural moisturizer – Adele's Essentiel Moisture ($ 39) was pure heaven – which made my routine cleaner and a game changer on my skin's hydration levels, namely that & # 39; t since we spent our winters in the Arizona desert. "
So you want to know the details of my mother's anti-aging skin care and her favorite serum? Keep scrolling! Ahead, she shares the best anti-aging serums and formulas that really make a difference in the look and feel of her skin.
"I know this serum is always talked about, but there is one factor that is very iconic. It works. If I can only use an anti-aging serum in the rest of my life, this is probably the one. it literally changed the clarity, radiance, tone, and texture of my skin since I started using it. I incorporate it into the two serums below, and this is my own fountain- of-youth cocktail. "
" This serum is a triple threat and features coenzyme Q10 (an antioxidant that boosts collagen production, which we need when we get older!) in addition to hyaluronic acid for hydration, and Matrixyl 3000, an amazing anti-wrinkle ingredient used as a less harsh alternative to retinol. This serum really helped reduce my redness and some of uneven patches used d to bother me with my complexion. "
" As I mentioned, I want to mix this serum from Timeless with the two mentioned for a super-charge serum mix. It features Matrixyl Synthe & # 39; 6, a powerful peptide that, by brand, boosts six skin rejuvenation essentials. This is great for wrinkles, and it helps reduce some of the beautiful lines on my face and creeps in my eyes. "
" This essence-serum hybrid is really an investment. However, it really helps with hydrate and skin condition, and I have also seen improvements in firmness and how productive and youthful my skin looks since I added it to my normal routine. Importantly, it is a treatment that you apply after you cleanse and tone, and it acts like a serum primer – which enhances the benefits of any serum you use afterwards — while also using caviar-rich caviar water to make it smooth and your pores are small. "
" Ohhhhh, this one is so beautiful, and it definitely made my skin brighter and pliable – fewer beautiful lines and less slow! It's really light, which I like. Lots of anti-aging products can get really heavy and feel cloying. It features a specialized Line Relaxing Complex. It also hydrates, and I don’t seem to need a moisturizer after I apply it. "
" I really noticed the difference in this serum — Especially about improving the firmness of my skin and the overall tone of my skin. I especially love this fact it is more affordable than other products and easily available at Target, Walgreens, and other locations. "
" Several nights a week, I will also use SkinCeuticals & # 39; Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight, an evening treatment that promotes cellular transplantation ningning. I am a big fan of SkinCeuticals, and this new product has become a favorite recently. I’m not sure if it is considered more of a serum, exfoliator, or cream, but I focus on it here! "
" Erin is really obsessed with this brand, so I didn & # 39; t know I had to check it out. Dr. Barbara Sturm makes a handful of really luxurious and high-quality serums, but this is the anti-aging formula, especially, that is a real game changer for my skin. I just started using it, but I definitely like some of the results I am starting to see in this product. "
" I love this gentle polish from Tatcha for keeping my skin clean, soft, and free of congestion. Erin first introduced me to Tatcha a few years ago, and while everything from the brand is really good, it has become one of my skincare ride products that can help with aging. I use it a few times per week, and it really makes a difference in the texture and luster of my skin. "
" I was really chosen when it came to lotions and moisturizers and, frankly, doubted this formula for many purposes when Erin brought it home. (obsessed). However, it was not long after he forced me to try to fall in love with him. It is pure heaven, translated by many amazing ingredients, and I want to use it all over my body, face, and hands. Even my husband is obsessed with it! I also appreciate the affordable price point compared to some of my other regular creams and moisturizers. "
" Because I want to move my skincare and creams depending on how my skin feels, this luxurious cream from La Prairie is another I swear. When paired with the Essence in Lotion I mentioned above, my skin was wonderfully moisturizing and reduced the severity of some of my sun and dark spots. "
" This is my go-to night cream. It has a unique blend of many active ingredients like RES and glycolic acid so you get some exfoliation benefits in addition to the hydrated glow you will wake up the next morning. Erin praised the radiance of my skin and texture on her last visit, and I have partially linked that to regular use of this cream over the past few months.
