First things first! As a public service, we’re clearing up the commonly misunderstood notion on aging — it can actually happen faster and earlier than we think. Let’s face it, those Saturday nights staying up late, whether it’s out painting the town or binge-watching Netflix in bed, have serious backlash that only hastens the droops and lines (yikes!). Combat signs of skin aging by kickstarting your own anti-aging regimen, and it’s under 5 minutes too!
The dream to be forever young is alive and well, and we have just the routine for every millennial out there, and in 3 easy steps too!
1. CLEANSE
Start your morning right by greeting your face with a cleanser then then taking your ritual a notch further with your toner. Call in the L’Oreal Revitalift Laser X3 Power Water after your facial wash with anti-aging ingredients such as Pro-Xylane and Adenosine that makes your skin hydrated up to 48 hours, visibly replumped and poreless without the sticky feel!
Tip: Maximize the active cleansing elements of power water by covering the entire face using a damp cotton pad.
2. PRESS
Fear not if you’re late to the world of serums, it’s never too late to get on the bandwagon! With 3% Pro-Xylane and Adenosine, this renewing treatment serum is a must as it helps reduce your pores, wrinkles, and fine lines!

Tip: Press a small amount (it’s highly concentrated) with heated palms on your face to help your pores absorb the product easily and evenly.

Every skin type whether dry, oily, or both is susceptible to skin aging, no one is exempted. The main signs namely dull, dry, and wrinkly skins all have to do with clogged pores.Here’s where your moisturizer comes in. Religiously massage a small amount of your day cream in the morning to prep your face before applying makeup; while your night cream comes after completing your night skincare routine. Invest in a day cream that has an exfoliating agent, LHA, that refines skin texture while Adenosine to smooth out your wrinkles! Don’t forget your night cream that acts as your overnight mask as well – it corrects fine lines, renews skin, and reduces pores!
