As we move into the colder months, it is especially vital that we look after our skin. This is because with harsh winter winds comes dreaded dry skin. When it comes to choosing the right products for you, especially for anti-ageing, we know that it can be incredibly overwhelming. That’s why we have compiled this guide to help you build the ultimate anti-ageing skincare routine, using Elite Beauty skincare products.
Do I need anti-ageing?
Despite popular misconceptions, anti-ageing products are not only for more mature individuals. They can be used preventatively in order to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful, as well as targeting fine lines and wrinkles.
What do I need to build the ultimate anti-ageing skincare routine?
When looking to build a simple 4 step anti-ageing skincare routine, you should apply your products in the following order.
1. Cleanser
If you are looking to build a night-time skincare routine, it is especially important to use cleanser. This is because it works to clean any excess makeup or build-up that has accumulated throughout the day. If you are looking to incorporate cleansing and makeup removal into your routine, we offer an eco-friendly natural alternative to regular cleanser, in the form of a solid block.

Once you have cleansed your skin, you can then move onto your serum. Within this step, you can incorporate products such as our Elite Super Strength Pentapeptide Complex. This serum is specially-formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This product is loved and regularly-used by not only our patients, but also our pharmacy team.
The product should be patted into the skin gently to aid absorption; you should apply it once in the morning, and again at night. You can find out more about the serum and its benefits here:

Both morning and night, moisturiser should form a vital part of your skincare routine. Moisturiser works to hydrate and soften the skin; you can even get moisturisers, such as our Elite Rejuvenating Beauty Cream, with anti-ageing properties. Using an anti-ageing moisturiser such as this one will help to plump and soften your skin, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The cream contains Argireline, which is a potent hexapeptide that relaxes the skin around said areas, giving a smoothing effect.
4. SPF
SPF is arguably the most important step in your everyday routine, as UV rays are still present even when you are in the UK, and it is cloudy. UV damage can lead to a range of health issues, from sunburn to skin ageing. You can get moisturisers with added SPF, such as our Elite Moisture Plus Beauty Cream with SPF 30. However, it is important that you also incorporate a sunscreen for the best possible protection.
Ultimately, the most important part of your skincare routine is just that: routine. It is important to use these products consistently over an extended period of time to see the best results.
