Aging - it happens to all of us. But wouldn’t it be great if we could slow it down a bit? 


The good news is, we can. And no, you don’t need to jump straight into Botox or surgery. 
Dr. Oren Marco, a top cosmetic surgeon, in an interview with Le Figaro shared some brilliant (and totally doable) tips to keep those first signs of aging at bay.


These are simple changes you can make today, that will really make a difference to how your skin ages.


With a few easy tweaks in your daily routine, Dr. Marco’s advice proves you don’t have to go under the knife to stay looking fresh and youthful.


Healthy Habits Can Keep Aging at Bay


Dr. Marco makes a great point: taking care of your skin and body can work wonders for your appearance, even before you think about more drastic solutions like surgery. 


It’s about building healthy habits that boost your skin’s resilience and vitality over time. 


A Plastic Surgeon’s Plan to Stop Signs of Aging


Small, consistent changes can deliver big results - and that’s what we’re all about, right?

01 | Use Sunscreen Every Day


If you’re not already wearing sunscreen every single day, start now. Like most dermatologists, Dr. Marco believes it’s the number one way to protect your skin from UV damage - the sneaky culprit behind wrinkles, dark spots and sagging skin.


A good sunscreen acts like armor for your face, shielding it from the sun’s harmful rays. Personally, I think La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios SPF50 is a solid choice - it’s lightweight, non-greasy, and super effective. We don’t make sunscreen ourselves because we honestly think they’ve nailed it. Just make sure you’re applying it daily, rain or shine.


02 | Don’t Be Too Aggressive with Your Skin


Dr. Marco is clear on this: being too rough on your skin can do more harm than good. Scrubbing away with harsh exfoliators? Not the best idea. While exfoliation is essential for getting rid of dead skin cells and keeping your face looking fresh, it’s all about being gentle.


Our DAILY FACE WASH is perfect for this. It uses a gentle chemical exfoliant that does the job without damaging your skin barrier, along with glycerin to keep your skin hydrated. 


Think of it as a kinder, more effective way to clean and refresh your face. Your skin will thank you.


03 | Always Use a Clean Towel


This one might surprise you, but Dr. Marco swears by it: always dry your face with a fresh, clean towel. 


Why? Towels are a breeding ground for bacteria. If you’re using the same one over and over, you’re transferring that bacteria straight onto your face, which can lead to irritation or breakouts.

It’s such a simple step, but it can make a huge difference. So, swap out your towel more often.


04 | Don’t Use a Heavy Face Cream


We’ve all been there - slapping on thick, heavy creams at night, thinking it’ll make our skin glow by morning. But Dr. Marco advises against it. Heavy creams can clog your pores and sit on the surface of your skin instead of absorbing properly.


Instead, go for something light and effective, like our HYDRATING DAILY MOISTURIZER. It’s packed with anti-aging ingredients and absorbs quickly, so you’re not left with that greasy feeling. Plus, it keeps your skin hydrated and smooth without suffocating it.


05 | Gentle Facial Massage


Here’s a tip that feels more like self-care than skincare: give yourself a gentle facial massage. Dr. Marco explains that massaging your face promotes circulation, which helps bring oxygen to the skin and improves its elasticity. It’s good for relieving stress too.


  • Use your fingertips to make small, upward, circular motions—especially around your jawline and cheeks. 

It only takes a few minutes but can leave your skin looking brighter and firmer. And you feeling calmer.

06 | Avoid Excess Sugar


Sugar is the ultimate skin saboteur. Dr. Marco points out that too much sugar in your diet can cause glycation—a process that damages collagen and elastin in your skin. Translation? Sagging, dull skin.


Cutting back on sugar not only helps your skin but keeps your body feeling better overall. And while we’re talking about diet, Dr. Marco also advises avoiding frequent weight fluctuations. Rapid changes in weight can stretch your skin, making it harder to bounce back.


07 | Work on Your Posture


Here’s one I didn’t expect - your posture affects how youthful you look. 


According to Dr. Marco, slouching can lead to sagging skin and wrinkles around your neck and jawline. Sitting up straight (or even standing more often) isn’t just good for your back - it’s great for your appearance too.

The Takeaway
