Our skin is our best ornament.

Beautiful skin is a God gift to us, but to sustain the beauty we have to work on it. Skin requires nurturing, care and attention. If we ignore the subtle signs our skin gives us as a warning, we might end up losing a lot. So what are the signs of aging which we’ll notice on our skin?
Signs of Aging:
- Age spots: these are small hyperpigmented spots which are found in clusters over sun-exposed skin. It’s a very important sign of aging.
- Fine lines/ wrinkles around the eyes- Crows Feet.
- Dull/ lusterless skin.
- Sagging/loose skin.
- Laugh lines
- Frown lines.
What to do??
Let’s start with small changes in lifestyle that might help restore the skin.
- Get adequate sleep/rest.
- Wash with gentle face wash.
- Exfoliate by scrubs at least once a week.
- Keep skin moisturized.
- Apply sunscreen.
- Eat healthy food- fresh veggies, fruits, salads.
- Take plenty of water.
Invest in:
After you’ve crossed 30’s landmark invest in your skin. Use anti-aging serums/creams. They help in restoring youth and brings the glow back in the skin. Use has to be for at least 1-2 months for people to get apparent results so have patience. Soon you’ll get that one compliment which would make your day.

These are wonderful tips of keeping skin young and glowing. I believe it’s very important to look ur best always, that boosts your confidence.
Thank you Dr for this great list.Have you tried Kama’s much hyped Kumkumadi Miraculous fluid – would love to know your thoughts .
i’ll research on that, i’ve personally not used it yet
Thanks …I am waiting for your research to complete .
My niece would love to read this and I am going to forward this article to her right away. 🙂

My dad who is a dermatologist always told me that there is nothing like pure clean water to clean my face. Also he said that how you age is largely genetic. Having said that he would tease me whenever I tried all kinds of skin treatments and tell me that the only thing left was to put a ‘vaghar’ on my face! But I myself love moisturising my skin and have used Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night repair for years. I always change my moisturiser but make sure to moisturise day and night. Currently I am using Shiseido which is also a good product for diminishing frown lines and age spots.
i’m currently on estee Lauder myself i love the feel of serum on my skin
I have used both Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Capsules and Estee Lauder’s night repair serum. Even though they are expensive they are worth the price and make a profound difference on the face. A great compilation of products!
Investing in the skin is a must I agree – at any age….earlier the better… and we have to know our skin types before investing. Grt info.
An excellent piece on several anti-ageing skin products with the pros and cons spelled out. Some of the products do seem to be very attractive. Skin happens to be very important and we cannot allow age to take a toll on it. A very informative article indeed.
Anti-aging solutions seem to be really working. This blog post is helpful.
I loved how you have curated the anti aging products. Bookmarking this post .
This was much needed. I’m sure I’ll take your words and the product list into consideration next year.
Hey..nice post. I swear by adequate sleep and exercise. Also have been contemplating using Biotique products. Will do henceforth. Thanks.
Serums work great though they take a while to show results.. You briefed out most used and known products. It would surely help many.
I like the products you have mentioned here though I Do not use such product. May be choose one or two to try once. Who does not want to look young 😉
That’s a fantastic list of products, I must say. I never had any skin related problem in my life so far but I could see the signs of aging now as wrinkles near my eyes. Will check these products.
This is worth saving post Richa. 💓
a Very useful post for those like me in mid-30s and looking for an easy fix for their skin. I have used Olay 7in1 in the past and found it to be very effective. I think I am going to try the Biotique serum soon to compare once.
you should try it and update the results here too…
Informative! I usually prefer mild, organic or natural skincare products. I liked how you had a mix of all kinds there.
I use Garnier night cream and it doesnt help for anti ageing but definitely it a nice cream when you wake up in the morning, face is fresh and more over I suffer heavy acne and dark patches due to health issues. I am a bit particular about what to use.
sensitive skins have such issues. i’ve seen great results with the products and they reduce post acne scars too..
Anti Ageing is cream is the must needed after the certain age
It is said that me. does not need it but i don’t agree
We are using Biotique brand for full family
Thanks for the tips also.
A lovely round-up of essential skin care.. Will make a note of some of these to include in my routine for the future.
Thanks for sharing!
We often tend to take good care of skin in teenage and up to 30s. But as you said, skin care after 30s is equally important to avoid aging and wrinkles. A well researched post on each of the available products and its pros and cons. A much needed post!! #superbloggerchallenge
