Feel beautiful and confident in your skin with my expert anti-aging skincare tips, tricks, and recommendations for aging skin.

Darlings, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness are all natural signs of aging 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-aging skincare routine to unlock glowing, youthful-looking skin in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond!

Anti-Ageing Skincare before and after

What causes aging skin?

As we age and our skin matures, our production of sebum slows down. Sebum is our skin’s natural oil which is responsible for keeping our skin looking smooth and supple.

On top of this, as we age, the skin’s ability to renew itself slows down over time which can cause dullness and dark spots. Diet, lifestyle habits, genetics, stress, gravity, and exposure to the sun and pollution are other factors that all contribute to aging skin.

The most common signs of aging skin are fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, larger pores, dullness and hyperpigmentation.

7 MAGIC anti-aging skincare ingredients and where to find them

Darlings, each of my skincare products are infused with potent skincare ingredients that help your skin to look and feel its best. If you're searching for an anti-aging skincare routine to give your skin a youth-boosting effect, here are some of the best anti-aging skincare ingredients to incorporate into your routine.

  1. Molecule image of anti-ageing skincare ingredient REPLEXIUM

    REPLEXIUM™

    REPLEXIUM™ is a groundbreaking, anti-aging 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 Charlotte’s supercharged skincare and beauty icons including Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, Magic Cream Light and Airbrush Flawless Foundation.

  2. Molecule image of anti-ageing skincare ingredient hyaluronic acid

    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.

  3. Molecule image of anti-ageing skincare ingredient Vitamin C

    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 is a high-performance skincare secret found in Charlotte’s Magic Night Cream and Magic Eye Rescue. A form of vitamin A, it can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other skin aging concerns for a more YOUTHFUL-LOOKING complexion.

    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 Primer with SPF 50 shield right before your makeup for SMOOTHER-LOOKING skin and daily defence.
