Skin aging is caused by (a combination of) different factors.
The sun, free radicals and nutrition, among other things, influence the
process.
Skin aging actually starts from the age of 20, but only becomes visible
between the ages of 35 and 40.
The speed and extent to which the skin ages is partly determined by
hereditary and partly by external factors.
Your lifestyle also plays an important role in skin aging.
Fortunately, you also have an influence on slowing down this process.
You do this by protecting your skin daily against UV radiation, IR**,
blue light** radiation and of course by using the right products during
your skincare routine.
LOOkX is happy to help you.
** radiation from your heating, laptop, telephone, and television.
How does normal skin aging occur?
Your skin experiences both invisible and visible skin aging.
In the tables we have indicated roughly which phases you can expect.
Intrinsic skin aging (invisible)
Intrinsic skin aging is the decline in form and function as a result of
changes recorded in the genes.
These changes are inevitable.
So this is biological aging that is pre-programmed.
| Age | |
| 18 | Decrease in hyaluronic acid production. |
| 25 | Cell division slows down slightly. |
| 35 | Decrease in elasticity and cell renewal processes, among other things. |
| 45 | Decrease in collagen production, among other things. |
| 55 |
Hormone disturbances
Insufficient repair work. Chronic inflammation. |
| 65+ |
Fat loss in hypodermis (subcutaneous connective tissue).
Sebum production decreases. |
Extrinsic skin aging (visible)
Extrinsic skin aging is caused by years of cumulative, impacting changes
as a result of environmental factors.
The skin forms the boundary with the outside world and is exposed to
environmental factors more than other organs.
The skin is more sensitive to extrinsic aging than to intrinsic aging.
The most important factor is the influence of UV rays on our
skin.

Late teenage years
It is important to start using a good moisturizing product at a young age
so that the formation of fine lines can be delayed.
Use the
LOOkX Moisture daycream
as day and night care from a young age.
People in their twenties
Around the age of 25, the first signs of aging can become visible. To slow
down these processes in time, you can start using pre anti-aging products
in your mid-twenties.
The
LOOkX Youth defense cream
trains your skin cells to remain active for as long as possible and to
respond young.
In your thirties
This is a good age to start using serums, ampoules or masks (if you are
not already using them).
A serum is an ideal product to activate cell renewal and prevent the
formation of discolouration on the skin.
Use the
LOOkX Youth defense serum
every evening under your night cream for ultimate protection of the
youthfulness of your skin.
In your 40s to late 50s
Roughness, dryness, hyperpigmentation and the risk of skin infection may
increase. A decrease in blood vessel development can make the skin less
radiant.
LOOkX Time stop
and
LOOkX Retinol2ndG
products provide firmer and beautifully radiant skin.
60+
The skin now mainly needs repair.
The
LOOkX Retinol2ndG
products focus on repairing and repairing damage to the skin.
