The best natural anti-aging routine for mature skin

At Nourished, we don’t believe in numbers when it comes to skincare. Whether you're 38 or 57, what truly matters is how you feel in your skin. The term anti-aging isn’t about a specific age, it’s about using products that help slow down the signs of aging so you can feel like the best version of yourself at any stage of life.

As we get older, our skin naturally changes. Many people notice fine lines, a loss of firmness, or dark spots. That’s what we’re talking about here, slowing down these signs of aging in a way that feels natural and supportive.

Because aging isn’t something to fear, it’s something beautiful. And while it's normal to feel a little unsure about these changes, your skin tells your story. So let’s help you feel good about it.

At what age can I start using anti-aging products?

Well, that depends on the person. Generally, collagen production starts to decline by about 1% per year from the age of 25. While aging is a natural process, there are a few things we can do to help slow it down.

If you’ve started noticing the first signs of aging, you’re probably not thrilled about it, but don’t worry, you’re not alone! We put together an article on The Top Three Secrets to Slowing Down Aging that might be worth a read before deciding what’s right for you. Once you’re ready, we’ll help you find the perfect place to start.

One of the best ways to support collagen production is with Marine Collagen, which comes from fish and helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. You can mix it into your coffee, drink it with a flavour, or take Vida Glow Liquid Advance on the go. Collagen supplementation has been shown to deliver real, visible results. 

When it comes to skincare, Retinol is often hailed as the go-to anti-aging ingredient. While powerful, it can be too harsh for younger skin, especially in your early 20s. That’s why we offer natural alternatives, like peptides, which are gentler and suitable for all ages. Peptides are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to support skin regeneration and hydration without irritation. Want to know more about peptides and what they do for your skin? You might be interested in our article, Peptides, the ultimate anti-aging secret.

As skin matures, it may require richer, more nourishing formulas. So whether you're in your 20s or beyond, we've got you covered with options that feel just right for your skin.

What is a good anti-aging routine?

As we age, our skin changes. Younger skin tends to be oilier due to higher sebum production, while more mature skin may need extra hydration and nourishment. A great anti-aging routine starts with:

1. A good cleansing oil - Double cleansing removes impurities while maintaining your skin’s moisture balance. We recommend the Goji Cleansing Oil from Sans Ceuticals, it’s the perfect choice for removing makeup, impurities, and dirt. Follow up with a second cleanse for extra freshness. Plus, the scent is like a real spa experience!
   

2. A gentle exfoliant - The AHA Glow Concentrate (a team favorite!) minimizes pores, smooths fine lines, and gives your skin that youthful glow. 
   

3. A powerful serum - Serums make all the difference. Use them daily to see real results. Depending on your skin’s needs, here are some of our top anti-aging serums: 

   

   
   
   + Biologi Regenerate Serum
   A superior antioxidant-rich serum with collagen-boosting benefits. Your must-have for youthful skin, protects, hydrates, smooths fine lines, and refines texture for a radiant glow.
   
   + Kakadu Brightening Serum
   This is a real powerhouse for radiance and even skin tone. Packed with Kakaduplum, one of the rich sources of Vitamin C, Finger Lime and Desert Lime, it helps fade pigmentation, boost collagen production, and brighten dull skin. Even Hyaluronic Acid is added to this skin booster.
   
   + INIKA Bakuchiol Serum
   This is the perfect retinol alternative for sensitive skin. It stimulates collagen, improves skin texture, and reduces fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne, without irritation. It is enriched with vegan squalane, it hydrates and strengthens the skin's barrier for a firm, radiant complexion. 
   

4. A rich day cream
   What’s a good day cream for more mature skin? A firming cream with peptides that combats sagging and provides a healthy glow. As we age, skin can sometimes look a bit dull. Our favorite is the INIKA Organic Phytofuse Renew Maca Rich Day Cream, it's especially suitable for dry, dehydrated and mature skin and gives your skin that boost and natural glow. We also love our Nourished Daily Moisturizer, it has Kakadu Plum in it, which gives you a healthy dose of vitamin C and leaves your skin feeling plump, soft, and glowy.
   
   
5. Eye cream
   Don't forget about your eyes! The skin under the eyes is very thin, so when applying eye cream, be gentle, preferably with your ring finger. Before applying makeup, an eye pad like the AIMX Revive Me Eye Pads can help plump, hydrate, and firm the skin under your eyes. We also have the Biologi Bk Serum, an effective serum that works to increase collagen production, skin elasticity, and firmness.
   
   
   
6. SPF & Make up.
   Next, it’s time for your favorite sunscreen… yes, it’s the final step! One thing to note is that natural sunscreens tend to be a bit oily, which is why Ere Perez has these amazing green tea papers to reduce excess oil and keep your skin looking great all day long. Afterward or as just the final step if you wear foundation, you can apply foundation with SPF protection. The Eye of Horus Serum Foundation is perfect for mature skin. Whether you wear makeup or not, it’s important for more mature skin to use fewer powders and focus on liquid products. Try a liquid bronzer, liquid blush, and liquid highlighter. A serum foundation will help keep your fine lines in place. If you use a dry foundation, it can settle into fine lines and may even cling to facial hair. Which isn't what we want, right? ;)
   
   

Incorporating facial tools like a gua sha, sculpting tool, or dermal roller into your routine can elevate your skincare game. These tools work wonders to improve skin texture, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and reduce acne scars. Plus, they can enhance product absorption by up to 40%, ensuring your skincare works even harder. So, whether you're looking to boost your skincare results or give your skin a little extra love, these tools are a great addition to your daily regimen. 

So if you really want to make a difference, check out our collection of anti-aging serums. After just a few uses, you’ll start to see the difference! And remember, aging is a privilege, so embrace it.
