Darlings, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness are all natural signs of ageing skin. As we age, it becomes even more important to take care of our skin to help it look and feel smoother, plumper, and more lifted. Discover my anti-ageing skincare routine to unlock glowing, youthful-looking skin in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond!
REPLEXIUM™
REPLEXIUM™ is a groundbreaking, anti-ageing peptide duo that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin. This MAGIC, wrinkle-targeting compound can be found in many of my supercharged skincare and beauty icons including Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, Magic Cream Light and Airbrush Flawless Foundation.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar substance that’s naturally produced by our skin. It works by keeping up your skin’s moisture levels for better elasticity and a GLOWY complexion. As we get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid we produce naturally decreases, resulting in drier skin. One of the best way to compensate for this is by using hyaluronic acid-infused skincare. Hyaluronic acid powers some of my most famous beauty icons including Charlotte’s Magic Cream, Charlotte's Magic Water Cream and Charlotte's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a nourishing antioxidant that multitasks! Not only does it promote an even skin tone (one of the things we lose as we age), but it also brightens the look of your complexion for a RADIANT-LOOKING GLOW. Many of my skincare products contain the power of vitamin C including Charlotte’s Magic Cream, Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and Multi Miracle Glow.
Retinol
Retinol is a high-performance skincare secret found in Charlotte’s Magic Night Cream and Magic Eye Rescue. A form of vitamin A, retinol can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other skin ageing concerns for a more YOUTHFUL-LOOKING complexion. Use these retinol-infused skincare products every night for the best results over time!
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a SUPERCHARGED version of vitamin B3 that helps to improve the overall look of skin tone, minimise the look of pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This GROUND-BREAKING skincare ingredient can be found in Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir face serum and Glow Toner!
BioNymph Peptide
Bionymph Peptide is a skincare ingredient that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for SMOOTH and PLUMPER-LOOKING skin. It's one of the hero ingredients in my Magic 8 Matrix of supercharged ingredients and is found in many of my magic skin icons including Charlotte's Magic Cream, Charlotte's Magic Night Cream, Charlotte's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and Goddess Skin Clay Mask.
SPF
Darlings, too much exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can contribute to accelerated skin ageing so that’s why it’s super important to stay sun-safe! Avoid direct sunlight during peak hours and ALWAYS wear SPF. My skincare and beauty products contain SPF to help slow down the signs of ageing, contribute to overall healthy skin and even out the look of your complexion. A super-easy way of getting your SPF fix is by applying my super-hydrating Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer with SPF 50 shield right before your makeup for SMOOTHER-LOOKING skin and daily defence.
MAGIC STEP 1: Cleanse
The first step in every anti-ageing skincare routine is a gentle cleanser that washes away impurities and leaves skin looking and feeling fresh and rejuvenated. Charlotte's Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser is a triple-action cleanser that's perfect for ageing skin; it cleanses to remove makeup and sunscreen; it hydrates with hyaluronic acid while strengthening the skin barrier with `biomimetic barrier shield technology to retain more moisture over time; and it primes the skin with smoothing-effect peptides for a gliding skincare and makeup application.
MAGIC STEP 2: Apply a face mask
After cleansing, continue your routine with a nourishing clay mask. I created my Goddess Skin Clay Mask as a pore-tightening, brightening-effect mask that gives ageing skin a goddess glow in just 10 minutes. It's a Meditteranean-inspired skin recipe with Spanish clay and sweet almond oil and is infused with skincare powerhouses including smoothing-effect peptides and radiance-boosting vitamin C to make mature skin look born to glow.
MAGIC STEP 3: Exfoliate your skin
Exfoliating your skin improves circulation and brightens the look of your complexion by removing dead skin cells to reveal the FRESHER skin that sits beneath! My Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial is a MIRACLE MAKER, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by ridding your skin of impurities.
MAGIC STEP 4: Apply potent ingredients with a face serum
Once you’ve exfoliated, it’s time to apply some face serum! Infused with MAGIC potent skincare ingredients including hyaluronic acid, REPLEXIUM™, vitamin C, niacinamide and bioNymph peptide, Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir refines your pores and reduces the appearance of wrinkles for a more YOUTHFUL-LOOKING complexion.
In user trials for Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, 93% AGREE SKIN LOOKS YOUNGER* and 91% agree fine lines and WRINKLES appear REDUCED in 4 weeks!*
MAGIC STEP 5: Apply a brightening-effect eye serum
Follow up your face serum with Cryo-Recovery Eye Serum! Containing CAFFEINE, ICEAWAKE™, REPLEXIUM™ and hyaluronic acid, this cooling skincare icon helps to reduce the look of puffiness and the appearance of fine lines around your eyes for a SMOOTH and WIDE-AWAKE looking complexion!
In clinical testing for Cryo-Recovery Eye Serum, crows feet APPEAR REDUCED by 25%!**
Tilbury Tip: Store in your refrigerator for an advanced cooling sensation every time you apply!
MAGIC STEP 6: Moisturise with MAGIC!
Moisturising is the secret to a HYDRATED and HEALTHY looking complexion. The award-winning Charlotte’s Magic Cream is infused with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and bioNymph peptide for a BRIGHTER, SMOOTHER and PLUMPER-LOOKING complexion.
When evening comes, switch up your moisturising product to Charlotte’s Magic Night Cream - containing the anti-ageing ingredients, retinol and bioNymph peptide - for overnight firming and plumping effects! For your delicate eye area, use Charlotte’s Magic Eye Rescue which contains retinol, which glides over fine lines and wrinkles so you wake up to eyes that look BRIGHT and REFRESHED!
Tilbury Tip: Don’t forget to apply your face moisturiser to your neck and chest too! These areas get as much exposure as your face so they’re just as prone to dryness and fine lines.
MAGIC STEP 7: Apply primer
The last product in your skincare routine before applying your makeup is primer! Charlotte’s Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer is an ultra-hydrating primer with SPF 50 shield to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays that can accelerate skin ageing. Infused with MAGIC ingredients including hyaluronic acid and BioNymph Peptide, this brightening primer also contains smoothing, blurring polymers to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for a more RADIANT and YOUTHFUL-LOOKING complexion!
