Anti-ageing prevention can start as early as your 20s.

The science of ageing shows that skin loses elasticity from exposure to too much sunlight and UV radiation. UVA and UVB rays wreak havoc on the skin and causes fine lines and wrinkles to form.

Just how does the skin age?

The epidermis makes up the outer barrier of our skin and protects from environmental damage like bacteria and UV exposure. With excess sun, the epidermis burns from UVB radiation, causing pigmentation. It also reacts to UVA rays by creating fine lines on the surface of the skin.

The deeper layer within is the dermis which contains collagen and proteins that bolster the skin’s elasticity – where we get that boing! in the skin.

Over time, skin cells lose their strength because their intercell connectivity and the network structures holding them diminish. It also affects the cells’ natural ability to function. In addition to cell deterioration, free radicals that poke holes at the cells, causing more damage (a process called oxidation) make the ageing process more pronounced.

What can be done?

There’s no turning back with cell degeneration but we can delay skin cell deterioration.

Home-grown brand Skin Inc, now a global beauty player present in 78 countries with more than 200 retail outlets, shares their top signature anti-ageing regimes and products for the face.

Focused on data-driven science and research that propels their innovation, Skin Inc fuses technology and knowledge scoured from women all over the world to customise serums that address skin concerns. The brand uses a proprietary encapsulation technology process that hails from Japan. This protects each capsule from environmental exposure, maintaining efficacy till application.

Skin Inc’s promise is custom skincare solutions for every skin that is paraben-free and fragrance-free, making sure its products are suitable for even the most sensitive of skins.

Fusion of Technology and Skincare

Because Skin Inc’s foundations lie in technology, some of their most tried-and-tested anti-ageing products include devices that work in tandem with their customised serums.

Here are their recommendations.

Devices to Supercharge your skin

Face

1. Optimizer Voyage Tri-light++ USB Rose Gold Chrome, $408
Combat anti-ageing with Optimizer Voyage Tri-light++ USB Rose Gold Chrome

It’s the latest in the Skin Inc line of devices that improve skin texture, elasticity, inflammation and shape. The award-winning device uses a NASA-inspired, coloured LED chromotherapy and Sonic Technology with low frequency stimulation. The device offers you three lights to use and each for no more than 10 minutes after your customised serum at night.

Tip: It also helps reduce the redness from sensitive or acne-prone skin with its blue light.

Combat anti-ageing with Optimizer Voyage Tri-light++ USB Rose Gold Chrome

The eye-version of the Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light for skin, this device boasts the LED Chromotherapy with three LED lights. Red for anti-ageing to reduce those fine lines and wrinkles. For instant glow, use the yellow light. To combat digital fatigue and puffy eyes, use the orange light (a mix of the red and yellow).

Use it after eye serum and eye cream at the final stage of your skincare routine. Because the skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of your face, Skin Inc recommends no more than 10 minutes’ use a day.

Tip: Use it on your neck to reduce fine lines. Or over your scalp to revive the skin on the head.
