Did you know the skin starts to age naturally in your mid-20s? Just when you’re about to kick off adulthood, you start to get old. Go figure, right? As we age, the production of collagen–an essential protein that acts as the framework to our skin–starts to slow. Furthermore, the elastin in our skin, which is responsible for keeping things nice and firm, demises and can even break down. Dead skin cells start to accumulate because they no longer shed as quickly, and turnover of new skin cells starts to decrease. Ultimately this leads to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, which can start to become apparent as early as your 30s.
Wrinkles…happen.
Many factors contribute to how the skin ages, including genetics, smoking, dietary habits and, most importantly, sun exposure. The sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays wreak havoc on our skin, and, over time, exposure to these rays damage elastin fibers within the skin. When elastin starts to break down, skin will show signs of sagging and eventually lose its ability to bounce back into place. Therefore, the most important anti-aging product you can use, at any age, is a sun protection.
Sunscreen is splendid.
Protect your skin daily with a good, high-quality MyChelle sunscreen, which lets you guard yourself from the sun’s damaging rays without harsh chemicals. MyChelle Sun Shield Coconut SPF 28 protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which is vital to the health of your skin — with a potent mineral combination of titanium dioxide and clear zinc oxide for broad-spectrum defense. This skin-defending formula prevents signs of aging from sun damage by blocking UVA and UVB rays, and research has shown that zinc oxide has the capability to shield against UVC as well. Soothing, regenerating and hydrating aloe eases signs of redness and irritation before they have a chance to occur. Did I mention it has a lush natural coconut scent that will remind you of the beach?
Moisture is a must.
Another age-defying must is hydration with in the skin. Dryness can cause inflammation, redness and irritation–not to mention making fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable. Make sure you are drinking eight cups of water a day, which is healthy for many reasons including for your skin. Also consider using a moisturizer with peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, or proteins. Skin is comprised of collagen, a protein comprised of long segments of amino acids arranged like a chain. Peptides are manufactured by proteins within the body, and many peptides are readily and quickly absorbed. Because of this, peptides are effective skincare ingredients which can help to reduce wrinkles and improve skin quality.
At MyChelle we love peptides and we creatively formulate certain products to be age-defying super heroes. We partner and pair peptides together and add in essential antioxidants and nutrients to deliver truly effective results.

Kick crow’s feet to the curb.
One anti-aging product we all need regardless of age is eye cream. The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate and needs intense hydration and anti-aging support. As we start to age, the first place we tend to notice it is in our eye area. This is because of continued facial contractions as well as the skin being so thin. You can start to see fine lines and in some cases even wrinkles before your 20th birthday.
