The use of anti-aging skincare products can vary from person to person, but generally, it is a good idea to start incorporating these products into your skincare routine in your late 20s to early 30s at the latest. During this time, your skin's natural collagen production begins to decline, and you may start to notice the first signs of ageing, such as fine lines and a loss of elasticity.

Some people may even benefit from starting an anti-ageing routine in their mid 20s, especially if they have experienced excessive sun exposure at a young age or have skin concerns they want to address, such a hyperpigmentation or other skin damage from adolescent acne. 

Anti-ageing skincare works by both treating existing concerns- such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation-, as well as helping to prevent further damage.

Of course, prevention is always better than treatment, so establishing a good skincare routine from a young age can help delay the visible signs of ageing. Sunscreen is also particularly crucial, as sun damage is one of the primary causes of premature ageing. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as diet, environment, and avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure can also have a significant impact on your skin's ageing process.
