How to Choose the Right Anti-Ageing Skincare Products for You

How to Choose the Right Anti-Ageing Skincare Products for You
Image credit 


If you’re looking for the right anti-ageing skincare product for you, it’s hard not to feel bombarded with choice. The market is saturated with brands and different kinds of products, and it may seem difficult to know where to start. The good thing is you can find effective anti-ageing products to suit any budget or lifestyle, and there are specific ways to target certain problem areas. If you do a bit of research, you can find the right ones for you. Here are a few quick tips to help you.

Go for a high SPF

Sun damage is one of the main culprits that can cause premature ageing skin so SPF is essential. First and foremost, you need to choose a sunscreen or moisturiser with a high SPF that you can rely on every day. Look for a product that suits your skin type and budget. Once you’ve found something your skin agrees with, it’s then a good idea to stick to the same brand. This way, you can rest assured you’re protecting your skin from harmful rays without a risk of irritation.

Select products according to your skin type

In fact, you should aim to select all skincare products according to your skin type. Look at the labels and find out if they’ve been specially formulated for dry, sensitive, or combination skin. If you’re not exactly sure of your skin type, you could take a test online to find out. If you have any allergies you can also check the labels for ingredients.

Target your main skincare concern

Rather than trying to target all your skincare issues at once, it’s best to keep it simple by using SPF and moisturiser, and focusing on one main concern. This may be reducing the appearance of fine lines or dark circles, or boosting elasticity and glow. The Avon anew range, for example, has several products that target different issues. You can choose the one that’s specially designed for the issue you want to correct.

Stick to your budget

There’s no reason why investing in skincare products needs to break the bank as there are anti-ageing products for all budgets. In fact, some of the most popular products can be found in your local supermarket. Read online reviews of brands that fall within your budget. There’s no need to go over a set price range if you don’t have to. This will also help to narrow your options.

Be mindful and minimal

Be mindful of the products you buy and always think twice before splashing out on something new. It’s better to find a product that agrees with you. It’s not ideal to pile on too many products at once, and a combination of sunscreen, antioxidants, and retinoid can suffice. Here are a few more tips from the experts on how to create a minimalist anti-ageing skincare routine. Be gentle to your skin and always remember to practise self-care. This way you’ll glow both inside and out, and have younger-looking skin for longer.

Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box

This months Lookfantastic box for August has arrived and firstly, how is it August already and secondly, this is a really good box!
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
Unusually for Lookfantastic, this months box doesn’t have a theme, previous themes have included the Wanderlust edition which lay month gave that cute carry case and then Eco Elements back in June. All of these alongside boxes which focus on one brand such as the soon to launch Omorovicza Box, which is incredibly exciting and then we are still awaiting information on the collaboration with Revolution!

So this months box sees Lookfantastic tram up with fashion influencer Rosie Connolly, whose name you might recognise from the Colour Wow box which launched back in February. Another slight change to this months box is the inclusion of a QR code in place of the Lookfantastic Magazine, the QR code instead linking you to everything you need to know about this months box.

The first product out of this months box which caught my attention was the AHC Natural Essential Mask Sheet MaskThis soothing sheet mask, which is crafted from 10% cotton, is described as being once which is powered by a host of nourishing ingredients that work to comfort and replenish the look of tired, angry skin.
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
This mask, which is gentle enough to use on even sensitive skin types. Using Aqua Ceramide which defends against uncomfortable dryness while locking in a layer of moisture as well as other nurturing properties which help to quench parched skin with an intense surge of hydration, leaving the visage supple and silky to the touch.  Full-Size worth £11.

The second product from the box is from Percy & Reed with their Hold It Right There! Strong Hold Hairspray (50ml). 
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
Described as being a genius lightweight spray for heat protected, brushable locks. The ultra-fine formula works with expert ingredients to resist humidity and provide a flexible hold, so flyaways stay in place, but your hair maintains its movement.  This 50ml can, which is handy for your handbag or travel bag is worth £7.

The next product is from AHAVA with the Superfood Kale & Turmeric Smoothing Body Lotion.
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
This incredibly lightweight body lotion from AHAVA’s bodycare collection envelops your skin in a plumping, smoothing cushion of long-lasting hydration. It boasts a soft, milky texture that absorbs rapidly into skin, the lotion plumps the skin with moisture, instantly refining patches of dry, rough skin to restore its silky-smooth texture while at the same time protecting it from environmental aggressors. This 40ml tube is worth £8.

This months box does feature a makeup item alongside all the hair and skincare and it comes from Ciate with their Glow-To Illuminating Blush in the shade Matchmaker.
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
Described as being a virtually weightless powder that dusts your complexion with a luminous, rosy-hued iridescence. It is said that this product will give up to 12-hours of smudge- and cake-free wear and the finely milled formula contains an ombré blend of matte blusher with ultra-refined highlight pigments which help to create a natural looking flush of colour with a subtle shimmer in one simple sweep.  This 2.5G mini blush is said to be worth £11.60.

The next brand is GLOV Mask Off Mask Remover Cloth. GLOV is a brand I’ve come to know through my love of beauty boxes and this is the first time I’ve had this particular product.
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
This mitt which is described as being an innovative cleansing mitt fits over your hand and is designed to quickly and effectively remove face masks from the skin. It is made from special polyester fibre, the mask removal tool expertly draws and removes the remains of your face mask without absorbing it. Instead of exfoliating the skin, the fibres slide over the surface, dissolving the mask whether it is a mud or clay and it doesn’t need to be used with anything other than water. Full sized product worth £8.90.

The final product in this months also is also a shaircare product and it is one I can never rave about enough! It is the incredible Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo and I’ve got a full review of it right here.
Lookfantastic x Rosie Connolly August Beauty Box
This Dry Shampoo is powered by the Living Proof patented Healthy Hair Molecule and it has a 'Triple-Action Cleaning Technology' which not only absorbs and removes oil, sweat and odour, it also makes your hair look and feels clean, all with those telltale white drops all over your clothes and no itchy scalp after using. This a 92ml can and it is worth £11.

So that’s the Lookfantastic August Beauty Box 2021 and as I said, it is a brilliant box, full of amazing brands and their products. If you like the look of this edit, it does on sale from August 1st and as Lookfantastic Beauty Box is a monthly subscription service* membership starts at £15 per month, but with the code BBSUN there is £5 off. There is also further membership offers of signing up for a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription to save money.
