From the age of 25, your skin changes. Fine lines, a duller complexion, and less firmness are signs that your skin needs extra attention. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to combat skin aging. In this blog, we'll tell you all about what helps, what to avoid, and which products will give your skin a boost.
Why does your skin age?
There are several causes of skin aging. Genes are a significant factor, but lifestyle and external influences also play a significant role. Think of infrared skin aging, UV exposure, silicon skin aging, alcohol, and skin aging or damage from air pollution. Sun-induced skin aging, for example, is responsible for 80 to 90% of premature facial skin aging.
Oxidative stress, caused by factors like poor sleep or an unhealthy diet, can also accelerate skin aging. And then there's the impact of smoking, poor hydration, and a lack of exercise. Time to address those!
How to combat skin aging
Combating skin aging starts with a healthy foundation. Eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds. Drink plenty of water (1.5 to 2 liters per day), exercise regularly, and relax. Sleep is also essential: 7 to 8 hours a night helps your skin recover. And did you know that antioxidant-rich foods, like blueberries and green tea, reduce oxidative stress?
But there's more you can do to make anti-aging skincare truly effective. Use skin products that are appropriate for your skin type and age. Avoid harsh cleansers and choose natural, skin-friendly formulas.
The right products for your skin aging treatment
At Kuypersshop, we have a few powerful favorites for those who take anti-aging seriously:

For a complete routine, combine it with the matchingIt's Never Too Late Eye Balm, which reduces fine lines and puffiness around the eyes.
Exfoliating is also essential. TheOolaboo Smart Aesthetics Exfoliantgently removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin radiant. After exfoliating, apply theSmart Aesthetics Protector: a light, hydrating emulsion with almond oil. Does almond oil slow down skin aging? Absolutely! This gentle oil is rich in antioxidants and intensively nourishes the skin.
Protect your skin during the day withGlowy Face Cream SPF 50.This day cream not only protects against UVB rays, but also against UVA rays and infrared skin aging. Ideal for those who want to prevent sun-induced skin aging.
Additional tips against skin aging
Besides good products, it's important to quit smoking, drink alcohol in moderation (alcohol and skin aging unfortunately go hand in hand), and be careful with the sun. Skin aging from the sun is cumulative: what you get today will only show up years later. So always wear sunscreen, even in winter.
Get enough exercise, relax, and try to reduce stress. Cortisol (the stress hormone) breaks down collagen and accelerates the skin aging process. And remember: love yourself, your body, and life. Happiness, peace, and positivity help combat skin aging just as much as a good moisturizer.
