In the last of our series on achieving Cleaner Greener Skin. We take a look at skin firmness and what’s behind anti-aging skincare.
The F word
F is for Firm. The secret to an effective anti aging skincare routine is in knowing exactly what your skin needs. Most people build their anti aging skincare routine by replacing all their care products with new ones that have ‘anti-aging’ on the labels. Doing this is hardly ever effective and most times, it is money wasted. The F word stands for ‘Firming’ which is all you need to understand if you want smooth, plump and youthful skin.
As we get older, the properties that hold everything together (collagen and elastin) start to break down, this is perfectly normal. The only solution to this is intense hydration and moisturization- they do so much for your skin. Hydration for the skin comes by topically applying water and hydrating products. Drinking water also helps but you need to remember that once something goes into your body, it goes through several processes before it gets to the skin’s layer. Drinking water is more for a long term effect.

Moisturization is the only way to seal in the hydration you get from your shower or bath. The minute you step out of your shower, the moisture on your body starts to evaporate. To lock it all in, you need to go in and moisturize all over using a body oil. It is even more advisable to moisturize in the shower, before you step out. Basically, the sooner the better. The Moisture Rich Body Oil- Lemongrass by Calypso Glow is highly recommended. Made from a blend of organic coconut oil, healthy fatty acids and sea weed extracts, it comes with a very powerful anti oxidant level. Using this oil will help to rehydrate the skin and repair damaged skin cells, giving you a bright and even skin tone. It also absorbs very easily into the skin without leaving a greasy or oily film. The Moisture Rich Body Oil is the perfect moisturizer if you have dry skin, hyper pigmented skin or if you are building an anti aging skincare routine.
This moisturization process is also helpful for the breast and décolletage areas. Remember that the skin of your neck is actually thinner than that of your face and needs equal care. It has been pointed out several times that it’s possible to tell a woman’s age by looking at her neck. This is because most women forget that their necks also need as much care as their faces.
