What are the fine lines on face?

While all signs of aging can be concern-causing, fine lines and wrinkles are typically the first ones to be observed and therefore targeted. Most commonly found around the eye and mouth area, Fine lines are thin, shallow lines that are caused due to the weaking of elastin and collagen in the body, which further leads to laxity and loss of firmness.

How to prevent & reverse signs of aging?

The best way to prevent signs of aging is by indulging in proper skincare and a dedicated anti-aging regime before the onset of the first signs.

Incorporating moisturising day and night creams with effective anti-aging ingredients that help prevent a specific sign can holistically help defy aging of the skin. For example, Milk helps refine wrinkles and deeply nourishes the skin, cold-pressed oils of Coconut and Jojoba are exceptional ingredients for smoothening texture and encouraging cell regeneration.

Another easy way to prevent signs of aging is being diligent with your SPF. This protects the skin from harmful UVA/UVB radiations that may otherwise speed up the aging process of the skin.

Indulging in Facial Yoga can also be a great way to reverse signs of aging. The correct facial exercises can help stimulate blood flow and facilitate lymphatic drainage, thereby counteracting wrinkles and fine lines.

As per Ayurveda ‘we are what we eat’, therefore in order to maintain the youthfulness of the skin, it is also absolutely imperative to maintain this very youthfulness from within. A healthy and nutrient-rich diet ensures good immunity, a harmonious mind & balanced Doshas- thereby leaving the skin looking healthy and glowing from within!

What is the right age to use anti-aging cream?

In Ayurveda, the key to youthful and luminous skin with the best anti-aging mechanism is an early and comprehensive start to skin care. According to Kashyap Samhita, the ancient scripture of Ayurveda, a woman is known as Yuwati from 13 years onwards. It from here, or the onset of puberty, when the devolution of skin often begins and continues.

One experiences hormonal changes alongside environmental effects, lifestyle changes such as smoking, drinking or unhealthy diets, and stress, all of which may combine to cause an imbalance to the body, mind and spirit – a depletion of Ojas. To rejuvenate the Ojas and boost the collagen promoting tissues, may we suggest investing in only the best anti-aging creams for your skin, which are replete with natural replacements of chemically propelled and quick-dry lotions, that are better for the skin in the longer run.

Forest Essentials features different variants of skincare products, which when coupled together, make for the perfect anti-aging skincare regime.

Daily Anti-Aging Skincare

Our bestselling and most iconic, Soundarya Radiance Cream with 24 Karat Gold & SPF 25 is formulated with an infusion of Gold Bhasma (Gold Ash), renowned in Ayurveda to lend the skin a natural lift and a glow from within. We suggest applying the award-winning Advanced Sanjeevani Beauty Elixir, before applying the Soundarya Radiance Cream, as a pre-moisturizer, to prep and plump the skin. This makes for the best anti-aging serum and has been awarded as the ‘Best Spa Product’ in our selection of anti-aging skincare products, by Asia Spa. Together, these make for the best anti-aging skincare routine for the day.

Nightly Anti-Aging Skincare

For the night, we suggest the Advanced Eternal Youth Formula Date & Litchi, this has been awarded the ‘Best Anti-Aging Night Cream’ award by Harper’s Bazaar and works exceptionally as an anti-wrinkle cream. May we suggest pouring a few drops of the award-winning Advanced Soundarya Age-Defying Facial Serum into the Date & Litchi Cream, for beautifully illuminated skin the morning after. These nightly anti-aging skincare treatments ensure the collagen replenishment whilst the skin is at rest.

Anti-Aging Facial Balms

When it comes to anti-aging, our Balms would have to be the ultimate Slow Beauty products as they are luxuriously saturated with Ayurvedic serums and an infusion of pure Cow’s Ghee. Formulated with aged Ghee and Ayurvedic herbs, regular massages with our award-winning Tejasvi Emulsion can help reverse signs of aging by many years, as it boosts collagen production in skin. The Tejasvi Brightening Emulsion is the best anti-aging cream as it enhances elasticity of the skin, leaving it toned, supple and youthful with a noticeably soft resilient and plumped quality, and a luminous glow or “Tejas”. Did you also know that the benefits of Ghee increase with its age? Aged ghee is particularly treasured in Ayurveda as the best anti-aging ingredient because it is said to reduce imbalances of all three Doshas.

Our bestselling Ojas Night Beauty Balm is opposite of the Tejasvi Brightening Emulsion, in terms of its application. While the Tejasvi Emulsion needs to be massaged into the skin, one should press the Ojas Beauty Balm into the skin and not massage it, so as to activate the skin with a patting motion and enhance the efficacy of the anti-aging night cream to follow.
