My friend, our first organ to show signs of ageing is our skin. This is normal. The skin is the barrier that protects us from the environment.. Over time it becomes drier and thinner. The process is first noticeable in the eyelids, which become thinner, and in the skin on the back of the hands, which becomes blotchy and wrinkled.
To slow down the cellular processes associated with maturity, the ideal is to apply anti-ageing cosmetic products that combine several ingredients. Which ones? We'll tell you about them.
The most effective anti-ageing ingredients
Collagen
Collagen is a protein that forms the fibres of the skin and bones in most mammals. It gives the skin volume, elasticity and firmness. This is why it is used as an ingredient in many cosmetics for mature skin. As we age, the fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen, weaken. For this reason, an extra supply via topical application with creams containing collagen is recommended.
Although collagen is referred to in the singular, there are 21 types of collagen in your body. They are identified according to the organ in your body in which they are found and their specific functions. To give you an idea of their importance, 25% of the proteins in our body belong to the collagen group..

Retinol
Retinol or vitamin A has antioxidant power. That means this anti-ageing ingredient is able to effectively combat the free radicals that cause ageing. You will find it in some products identified as retinoic acid, which indicates that it is pure vitamin A and therefore more effective (but also more irritating).
Due to its light structure, retinol penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It is used in numerous cosmetic treatments and beauty creams to eliminate wrinkles, expression lines and give a smooth appearance to the skin. It also reduces blemishes due to melanin accumulation. It promotes cell renewal and improves skin texture.
At Soivre we have proven how beneficial retinol is for your skin - it has been used in the cosmetics industry for more than 40 years - and that is why you will find it in our delicate eye contour gel.
Hyaluronic acid
It is a recommended ingredient for filling wrinkles and eliminating expression marks. Hyaluronic acid molecules are hydrophilic. It retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water. For this reason, its presence keeps the skin moisturised.
In this article we explain everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid, its history and properties: What is hyaluronic acid?
Vitamin C
Fill your body with vitamin C all year round! Its benefits are essential for the well-being, health and beauty of your skin.
Add this ingredient to your daily topical care with creams, serums, masks and facial tonics. In addition, make sure you eat foods that provide it naturally.
If you have any doubts about this, here is one list of foods with vitamin C that will help you to incorporate this important vitamin into your daily menu.
Why do we insist on vitamin C? Because it is an antioxidant that also increases collagen synthesis. It has a non-irritating whitening effect on the skin and at the same time minimises redness. Vitamin C cosmetics are perfect allies to complement depigmentation treatments.
You will find it identified on the labelling as ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate of vitamin C, magnesium ascorbyl palmitate of vitamin C, lipophilic tetrasubstituted ascorbates of vitamin C.
At Soivre we have our concentrated serum with vitamin Cin the form of ascorbic acid. A stable preparation that will stimulate your skin's collagen production and give you a gentle exfoliation.

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant found mainly in grapes and derived products such as wine. But, it is not necessary to take baths with wine, it is sufficient to use the Soivre grape cream to give your skin all its benefits ;-)
Resveratrol protects us from the sun's rays and has anti-inflammatory properties.. It is a product that has recently entered cosmetics and counteracts the signs of maturing age in a remarkable way.
Also eliminates toxins in the cells and combats oxidative stress. A cosmetic with resveratrol is a guarantee of more radiance in the skin.
Sunscreens
These are essential anti-ageing ingredients you will find in several of our Soivre creams. We recommend using sunscreen every dayeven if you don't have direct exposure to the sun.
Sunscreens prevent the skin from ageing and protect it from exposure to the sun, keep your skin moisturised and evenly tanned. Sunscreens are necessary to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, spots and freckles caused by the sun's rays.
And finally, there is one anti-ageing ingredient that should not be missing from our list: hugs.
Daily hugs from the people you love - and even from generous-hearted strangers - will make your skin cells take a trip back in time to their origins. These are the side effects of contact :-)
