Let’s face it - getting older is inevitable, but we want to do it as gracefully as possible. But before that, we must understand the underlying causes of skin aging in order to turn back the clock.

The Ultimate Guide To Anti-Aging
Aging happens, but we don’t need expensive treatments to turn back the clock. Here’s all we need to know about skin aging and what to do about it.
#1 The Biggest Culprit: The Sun
Repeated exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light accounts for almost 90% of premature skin aging, and skin cancer. This is because it breaks down Collagen and impairs certain fibers in the skin called Elastin.
The breakdown of these causes the skin to sag, and lose its firmness and elasticity. While the effects of sun damage may not show when you're young, it will inevitably show later in life. To protect your skin from the sun, try UltraShield™, the daily defence sunscreen we absolutely love.
By incorporating the power of nature and science, UltraShield™ is able to penetrate deep into your underlying skin layers, creating a protective firm and providing both physical and biochemical protection. Unlike any other traditional sunscreens, it provides a complete shield against skin damage caused by UVB, UVA rays, infrared light, and visible lights. Suitable for all skin types and cosmeceutical-graded, its water-based texture and natural coverage are also points our fans obsess over! Check out the science below.
#2 Over-Exfoliating
That’s one way most of us are aging our skin without realizing it. “We need to treat our skin like silk fabric, not a piece of leather,” according to Nurse Jamie, the celebrity skin expert also known to advise the Kardashians. When we over-exfoliate, it strips the skin of needed oils and destroys the protective barrier of the skin, exposing it to environmental toxins and sun damage which ultimately causes (you know it) - skin aging.
Our tip? Exfoliate but keep it to about 2-3 times a week and stick to skincare products with gentle and natural ingredients. Check this Calming Gel Cleanser and Hydrating Toner Mist that's filled with all the natural goodness out.

#3 Sugar And Aging
The not-so-sweet truth about sugar is that it speeds up the skin aging process. Glycation causes skin proteins like Collagen and Elastin to lose their ability to function properly, which then reduces their regenerative effects that were supposed to keep our skin soft and supple. Not only that, eating a diet filled with sugar can lead to increased acne, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and the development of dark spots. Yikes!
While our skin is at the mercy of many forces as we age: the sun, our diet, bad skin habits, we can, in fact, turn the table around to revive that youthful glowing complexion you so deserved.
Incorporate The Anti-Aging Duo
We’ve learned that Collagen and Elastin breakdown is one of the main causes of premature skin aging. Instead of forcing our body to absorb them from external sources or synthetic ingredients, the key here is to teach our body to produce more of it naturally!
Derived from premium Cysteine Peptide, AG-FACTOR™ unlocks the fountain of youth from within by teaching your body to become smarter in self-producing its own Glutathione and Collagen! With this, your skin gets all the essential nutrients to flourish into that bright, flawless youthful complexion.
Another key to the quest of youthful skin is none other than hydration. Studies have shown that dehydrated skin can speed up the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. But worry not, because we’ve got just the right skin hydrator, CERA5™.
Filled with Ceramides incorporating the Japanese technology, CERA5™ locks in skin moisture and promotes a plump and hydrated complexion. It strengthens the skin barrier naturally and protects against environmental toxins and UV exposure, which slows down aging effects. Wrinkles and spots? We don’t know them anymore.
