Here are the top five ingredients your skincare products should have if you are 30 years of age or older:

1. *Ingredients that help boost cell turnover* As we age, it takes longer for new skin cells to be generated. This means you are stuck with dead skin cells for a longer period, making your skin dull and gray.

When your skincare product has ingredients that boost your skin’s ability to produce new skin cells, your skin will be brighter, firmer, and more radiant.

Ingredients like Retinol Aspartolift, Moth Bean extract, and GenesteinSOY present in our anti-aging skincare ranges do this effectively.

2. *Ingredients that boost your skin's ability to produce collagen* (not necessarily you ingesting synthetic collagen)

Collagen is the pillar that keeps our skin matrix standing firm. As collagen levels drop, wrinkles begin to appear. The more wrinkles you have, the less collagen your skin produces.

Ingredients like vitamins C, peptides, and certain plant stem cell extracts in our anti-aging range boost your skin's ability to produce collagen by up to 200%, making your skin appear smoother & radiant

3. *Antioxidants to fight oxidative stress and repair skin damage.*

Oxidative stress from sun exposure is the number one cause of skin damage, which in severe conditions can lead to skin cancers.

As you age, you must ensure your skincare products are rich in antioxidants like vitamins E and C. Those of you who avoid vitamin E because you think it makes you "dark" are destroying your skin because you want to be "yellow." If your skincare product does not have vitamin E, return it, abeg!

4. Hyaluronic Acid: This is the holy grail for skin hydration.

As we age, our skin barrier becomes damaged, leading to water loss and skin dehydration, which makes the skin look dull.

Hyaluronic acid is a small molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, keeping water on your skin and absorbing water from the environment. This will keep your skin plump, radiant, and soft, just like a well-watered plant.

5. *Fatty Acids:* These are the secrets to velvety-smooth, soft, and supple skin.

If you want your skin to feel as good as a baby's bottom, then you need to ensure your skincare products are loaded with fatty acids.

They replenish your skin's lipid layer, providing protection from pollution and water loss, reducing breakouts and inflammation while improving the look and feel of your skin.

I love Oriflame because all of these ingredients and more are present in all our formulations. They work together to repair, nourish and protect your skin all day, everyday!

Buying your skincare products is not an expense; it is an investment in your skin health, self-care, and mental health.
