How to choose your anti-aging care?


When you venture into the jungle of anti-aging skincare, it is not always easy to find your way among all the offers. What assets do I need? Should I opt for a serum or a cream? Or for both? Should I choose according to my age, or according to my skin type? So many questions we answer in this guide to find the perfect anti-aging treatment for your skin!

The art of anti-aging skincare

Nowadays, many techniques exist to prevent skin aging. If diet and lifestyle play a lot on the evolution of our skin, it is possible to limit the effects of time thanks to anti-aging treatments .

Faced with the various products available on the market, we would be tempted to take the first bottle on the fly, and see what happens. Unfortunately, if the anti-aging treatment chosen does not meet your needs, you risk not seeing any improvement, or worse, accelerating skin aging.

To be sure not to make a mistake, you must choose your anti-aging treatment based on four different criteria:

  1. Your age-related skin problems
  2. Your skin type
  3. Your age
  4. Your way of life

Choosing your anti-aging treatment according to the skin's problems

Skin aging can manifest itself in many ways. Age-related issues will vary depending on skin care, environment and lifestyle, depending on skin type . Thus, some will need to reduce pigment spots, while others will have to fight against sagging skin.

Some will develop marked expression lines, others slight wrinkles on the surface. Similarly, the areas of the face affected vary:the eye and lip contour is often affected because the skin there is fragile, but some women suffer from deep wrinkles on the forehead or the nasolabial fold.

Thus, for an effective anti-aging treatment, you need a targeted treatment on your problem :a lifting eye contour treatment, a concentrated anti-aging serum, a light anti-wrinkle cream for prevention, or a shaping treatment to plump up the skin. Think about your real needs, what you absolutely want to treat, to be sure not to be disappointed by your treatment.

An anti-aging treatment adapted to the skin type

If your anti-aging treatment addresses your age-related issues, it must also be perfectly suited to your skin type. Above all, he must not dry it out or grease it. If the skin is dried out by a treatment that is too aggressive or not moisturizing enough, you risk seeing even more fine lines appear, despite the anti-aging active ingredient. If the treatment is too rich and it greases the skin, you will benefit from the anti-aging effect but your complexion will be dull and you risk seeing imperfections appear. Respecting the nature of his skin is therefore a very important criterion!

To do this, you can play with textures:oils for dry skin, silky creams for sensitive skin, light creams or emulsions for combination to oily skin.

Choose an age-appropriate anti-aging treatment

It is often said that you have to choose your anti-aging skincare according to your age. This is not the only criterion, but it is necessary to have a treatment adapted to the stage of aging of the skin.

Between the ages of 20 and 30, you will need preventive anti-aging care, not particularly concentrated treatment care. In this age group, it is above all good hygiene, hydration and nutrition adapted to your skin which will help preserve the youthfulness of the skin tissue.

Between the ages of 30 and 40, the skin becomes fragile because it loses elasticity. Subject to changes in temperature and humidity, but also to pollution, the first signs of skin aging appear:small expression lines, dark circles and bags under the eyes.

You can then opt for a global anti-aging treatment , as a daily moisturizing cream , or as a more concentrated serum to apply before your usual skincare cream . If your dark circles are marked or if you develop crow's feet, opt for an eye contour treatment:either concealer and anti-puffiness, like our illuminating Eye Magic, or with a lifting action, like our Eye Magic lift.

Between the ages of 40 and 50, wrinkles multiply and deepen. The skin is more prone to slackening and the oval of the face loses its vigour. To restore radiance to the face and limit sagging, you need a sheathing and lifting treatment . At Veld's, our Age Killer cream and serum are intended to plump and plump the skin, to restore its original tone.

At 60 and over, if wrinkles have set in, the skin continues to evolve. It dries out naturally, and loses elasticity, which contributes to deepening wrinkles. It is therefore necessary to use and abuse moisturizers to nourish weakened skin . In the form of a mask, cream or serum, our Age 2 range O is designed to provide mature skin with all the hydration it needs to regain freshness and tone. Around the age of 60, it is not uncommon to see pigment spots appear. Don't panic, there are treatments dedicated to pigment spots that can significantly reduce them.

Choose your anti-aging according to your lifestyle

Last important criterion for choosing your anti-aging treatment:it must be adapted to your lifestyle. For city dwellers particularly exposed to pollution, you need a detoxifying treatment, which will eliminate pollution particles and create a protective film to prevent skin aging .

For those who live in particularly sunny areas, it is essential to protect the skin against the harmful effects of UV . To make your daily life easier, we have designed a tinted cream with UV protection, with our Flash Protect treatment. Its light and natural shade provides a healthy glow and constitutes a good make-up base:you are thus protected from UV rays for the whole day, while having a well-groomed complexion.
