There are so many misconceptions about retinol. It\u2019s only for mature skin. Those with sensitivity shouldn\u2019t use it. Retinol is dangerous and damaging. In fact, none of these statements are accurate. Retinol can be used by those with younger skin. There are of course retinol products which are suitable for sensitive skin and when used correctly, it is neither dangerous or damaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This much-hailed miracle ingredient is also one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments available today. And what\u2019s more, the younger you start using it the better. Why? Because you\u2019ll be future-proofing your skin and defending it from the signs of premature ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Science of Retinol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite our innate desire to appear youthful no matter our age, the body\u2019s skin cell turnover slows down the older we get. Collagen and Elastin deplete resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. The outcome of this natural ageing process is an increase in fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness and dullness. It\u2019s not a great advert for growing old! Of course, on the flipside many wonderful things do happen to us as we mature. Just not to our skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that retinol can counteract the visible effects of ageing. It does this by boosting skin cell turnover, and the knock-on effect is an increase in collagen production within the dermis. By doing so, elasticity is improved, and skin appears more youthful, far smoother and thank the lord, fine lines, wrinkles and crow\u2019s feet are visibly diminished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should I Use Retinol?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a younger age-group, you may not have considered using retinol before. For certain, wrinkles seem a universe away. But you like sunbathing right? And let\u2019s admit it, you\u2019re partial to the odd alcoholic drink. Oh!  And before you forget, didn\u2019t you miss a night of sleep recently? Be honest, can you always be bothered to remove your make-up or even moisturise at night and as for your diet\u2026.when exactly was the last time you hit your five a day? Or is it seven a day now? The point is that your lifestyle choices may seem inconsequential but environmental factors add up as the years pass by. Over time, skin becomes damaged, and then one day you wake up, and there it is. Your first fine line or wrinkle. It shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise but it always does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retinol for Acne and Blemishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting early with retinol minimises those frustrating signs of ageing. Not only that, but it prevents skin damage from happening, keeping your skin looking youthful for longer. The benefits of retinol\u2019s anti-ageing properties are quite evident. But there\u2019s another perk for the younger age-group too. Increased cell turnover also keeps pores clear and reduces acne, blemishes or enlarged pores. After continuous use, skin looks clearer and healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use Retinol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt that retinol is a powerful active ingredient. Subsequently it can take skin a little while to adjust to some retinol products on the market. You might have heard people talking about redness, dryness and some minor irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
