Signs Your Skin Is Aging Prematurely

Aging is a gift, but signs of premature aging, caused by external aggressors such as UV rays and pollution, most definitely are not. These nasties damage the structure of the skin, resulting in an increase in fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation.

Thankfully, these signs of aging skin can be addressed with a natural, science-backed anti-aging regime to target dryness and dullness, and help nurture younger-looking skin.  

Signs of aging skin: Dullness

Divine Face Oil Rosehip & Avocado Oil

As skin ages, it loses its bounce and becomes more prone to dullness and dryness. Divine Face Oil boasts a potent blend of anti-aging oils – avocado, rosehip, and macadamia – that unite to intensely nourish the complexion and address signs of aging skin.

Divine has been scientifically shown to stimulate Type I collagen production in human fibroblast skin cells by up to 51%*.

The face oil is light and easily absorbed, making it an ideal anti-aging boost under your moisturiser or makeup. Massage a few drops into your face, neck, and decolletage after cleansing, before your favourite Antipodes eye cream and moisturiser.

Signs of aging skin: Crow’s feet

Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is very thin and delicate, making it particularly susceptible to crow’s feet, fine lines, and puffiness. Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream helps address these signs of aging skin, thanks to vitamin C-rich kiwi seed oil, which helps moisturise the eye area to keep skin smooth and supple. Kiwi seed oil, from New Zealand kiwi fruit, is also high in beneficial omega 3 fatty acids to help plump the skin and keep it looking youthful.

Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream is scientifically shown to stimulate Type I collagen production in human fibroblast skin cells by up to 82%*.

Dot the eye cream around your eye area and gently pat into the skin, taking care not to rub.

Signs of aging skin: Pigmentation

Diem Vitamin C Pigment-Correcting Water Cream

Pigmentation such as dark spots and uneven skin tone become more prevalent as skin ages. Diem Vitamin C Pigment-Correcting Water Cream’s key ingredient is the powerful peptide Melanostatine™5, a melanin inhibitor. It helps correct pigmentation by diminishing the appearance of dark spots and helping to prevent new ones from forming.

The natural-origin peptide has been scientifically shown to help target discolouration to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone. Diem also features Kakadu plum, Nature’s richest source of vitamin C, to further address pigmentation and foster skin that looks fresh, even, and youthful.

For best results, apply a generous amount of the day cream to face and neck after your serum and eye cream.

Signs of aging skin: Fine lines and wrinkles

Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream

Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream effectively targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The richly textured moisturiser features a potent dose of avocado oil, which is famed for its ability to target signs of aging skin. The nutrient-dense oil is rich in beneficial omegas as well as vitamins A, B1, B2 and D, and a plant compound called sterolin, which helps support healthy collagen levels.  

Avocado Pear also features the antioxidant extract Vinanza® Grape to help improve elasticity and protect skin as you sleep.

The night cream has been scientifically shown* to stimulate Type I collagen production by up to 92%, and clinically shown** to reduce wrinkle depth by 22%, reduce skin roughness by 34%, and reduce dryness by 85%.  

Massage a coin-sized amount into your skin as the final step in your nightly anti-aging routine.
