Anti-aging myths: what really works and what's just marketing

After 30, many people rush to extremes: some go to cosmetologists, others to the pharmacy for all the serums at once.

It seems like the moment for radical changes has come, and everything needs to change right now. Snail mucins, gold particles, Botox, retinol... Advice, promises of instant rejuvenation, and "magic" ingredients are pouring in from everywhere.

Together with cosmetologist Kateryna Polishchuk, LIGA.Life finds out which anti-aging products work and which ones are just a good marketing ploy.

Is it true that after 30, skin ages faster and you need to buy anti-aging creams right away?

— Not quite. In fact, the skin starts to lose collagen and elastin around the age of 25 to 35. Why is there such a difference? Because the condition of the skin is affected not only by what we care for it with, but also by our lifestyle, stress level, genetics, and a host of external and internal factors.

Therefore, it is wrong to say that if you don't use anti-aging creams, you will age quickly. The most important thing is the right care, – explains Kateryna Polishchuk.

One of the main stages of such care is the use of sunscreen . If you start using SPF at the age of 20, then at 40 your skin will look much better than those who had injections but ignored sun protection.
