1. Protect your Skin From the Sun
Top of every dermatologist’s list and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation is to apply SPF daily. Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ SPF50 offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. This lightweight sunscreen leaves a sheer, matte finish to reduce shine as well as sun factor protection 50. Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ SPF50 is suitable for use with all Obagi skin care systems.
2. Use an Anti-Ageing Skincare System
Use an anti-ageing skincare system to ensure that products work synergistically and achieve optimal results for your skin type. Unleash your skin’s potential with Obagi-C® Fx System, a complete skincare range designed to target signs of ageing, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, skin discolouration and sun-damage.
3. Start with an Anti-Ageing Cleanser
Start as you mean to go on and use a cleanser with anti-ageing properties. Obagi-C® Fx Cleansing Gel contains L-ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). This cleansing gel prepares your skin to absorb the full benefits of your skincare routine and has powerful antioxidant properties to defend skin against free radicals, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and complement new collagen production.
4. Use an Anti-ageing Facial Serum
Serums are typically thinner and achieve a deeper level of penetration to the skin enabling cellular change. Obagi ELASTIderm® Facial Serum uses Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™. This creates new elastin in the skin, and also converts and organises it for optimum results. Efficacy results were so outstanding that 100% of participants in a 12-week clinical trial said that their skin looked firmer after use. Skin is brighter too with a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Find an Anti-ageing Exfoliator
Exfoliators that use advanced technology do much more than just exfoliate. They allow other products to penetrate much more deeply, some deliver active ingredients to the skin and they can contain anti-ageing ingredients too. Obagi Professional-C® Microdermabrasion Polish Mask is a 2-in-1 formula, containing ultra-fine crystals for exfoliation plus a powerful infusion of 30% L-ascorbic Acid. Immediately after use, skin looks firmer and brighter and with longer-term use, tone and texture improves as does the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
6. Apply a Long-lasting Daily Moisturiser
The key to an anti-ageing moisturiser that produces visible results is that it must deliver long-lasting hydration. Hydromanil™ molecules within Obagi Hydrate® form a matrix on the skin’s surface which serves as a barrier. The matrix holds water in the layers of the skin, gradually delivering nourishment from active compounds over time. It’s even been clinically proven to improve moisture content and to provide moisturisation for up to 8 hours.
7. A Night-time Moisturiser is a Great Investment
A moisturiser specially formulated for night-time use can sync with the skin’s circadian rhythm, ensuring optimal results. The luxuriously rich Obagi Hydrate Luxe® gives extra-strength moisturisation overnight, assisting with the nightly functions of renewal and replenishment. Nourishing Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Avocado Oil are included as well as powerful anti-ageing key biomimetic peptides. Skin is left radiant and exceptionally nourished.
8. Discover the Anti-Ageing Benefits of Retinol
It’s never too early to start using the dermatologists go-to anti-ageing ingredient, retinol, to prevent the signs of ageing. This multi-purpose skincare saviour boosts skin cell turnover, minimising the appearance of uneven skin texture, dark spots or hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles for clearer, healthy-looking skin.
Obagi Retinol® 1.0 is minimally irritating and contains wonderfully enriching Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and calming Chamomile. Not only does it target fine lines and wrinkles and leaves the user with a smoother, brighter complexion but it also prevents future skin damage.
9. Vitamin C is a Powerful Antioxidant
It’s another wonder ingredient that’s taken the skincare industry by storm. Vitamin C produces glowing, smoother, more hydrated skin, also calms skin inflammation, reduces irregular pigmentation and minimises signs of ageing. Obagi Professional-C® Serum has been formulated with L-ascorbic Acid; Vitamin C is in its purest form. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Obagi Professional-C® Serum penetrates the epidermis and dermis significantly better than most Vitamin C serums. For dry, mature, sensitive skin, we’d recommend starting with the 10% formulation.
10. Eye-Creams Must Develop Healthy Elastin
To repair and prevent fine lines and wrinkles around the eye contours, it’s vital that an eye cream supports the three necessary stages of developing healthy elastin: create, convert and organise. Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Cream combats the loss of elastin which leads to weak, sagging, ageing skin, by combining powerful zinc and copper – with malonate within its powerful Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ technology. With regular use, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area are visibly diminished in as little as two weeks.
