Every 50-year-old must know these three tricks. Expert: Slow down the skin aging process

I have the pleasure of meeting Carrie Gross during the workshops she conducts on the occasion of the launch of her brand at Sephora Polska. The world of care is her great passion. This is proven not only by the appearance of her complexion, but also by her vast knowledge. She and her husband dermatologist Dr. Denis Gross, have been one of the biggest stars in the world of care for years. Their brand was established in 2000. Interestingly, it was Carrie who inspired her husband to create his own cosmetics.

She was delighted with the effect of the product

As he recalls, it quickly turned out that they had a lot in common. On their first date, they talked for hours about skin care. When Denis created his original peeling, of course he used it on his partner. Carrie was delighted with the effect of the product. So she began to encourage him to introduce a version for home use. This is how not only the best-selling peeling was born, but also the Dr. brand. Dennis Gross Skincare.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk to one of the most important people in the world of care, I ask about the three most important steps in our care routine if we want to stop the skin aging process. My interlocutor emphasizes from the very beginning that, above all, we need good habits. Conscientious home care often brings great results.

A key step in your beauty routine

When reading about her activities, I pay attention primarily to skin exfoliation. The wife of a famous dermatologist puts great emphasis on this element of care. – Indeed, peelings are crucial for us. After all, they inspired me to create our company – reveals Carrie Gross.

However, I would like to point out that their iconic peeling is significantly different from other products of this type available on the market. It is usually recommended to perform such treatments 2-3 times a week. Mark Dr. However, Deniss Gross recommends doing it every day. This recommendation therefore raises my doubts. After all, we often hear the opinion that too frequent peelings may damage the skin’s hydrolipid barrier. However, my interlocutor reassures me.

– Exfoliation is usually chemical or mechanical. And in such cases it is usually strong. Therefore, they are performed a maximum of twice a week. We chose something much more delicate. I can say that it is more like polishing than exfoliation, explains Carrie Gross.

He also shares his trick. I must admit that it surprises me. – Peelings are usually performed in the evening. However, I prefer gentle exfoliation in the morning. Thanks to this, the skin looks great during the day and the makeup lasts better – she reveals.

It’s worth developing this habit

However, gentle exfoliation is not the only element of care that Carrie Gross puts such emphasis on. As he emphasizes, one of the most important steps is proper skin cleansing. Thanks to this, the next products we apply will have a chance to work. And this is very important if we want anti-wrinkle prevention and slowing down the aging process. – I use the gel in the morning. In the evening, I focus on two-stage cleansing. First, I thoroughly remove my makeup and only then wash my face with the gel. In this way, I get rid not only of make-up, but also of dirt, impurities and sunscreens – says Carrie Gross.

We cannot forget about this

Especially the last of these elements is extremely important. – Everyone should use SPF. We absolutely cannot forget about this, it is really very important. I think this habit is worth developing from an early age. Fortunately, there has been more and more talk about it lately and more and more people are aware of it. Exposure to sunlight without proper protection over the years results in the appearance of wrinkles, dark discolorations, and the skin becomes dry and dull. It is worth remembering this, the expert emphasizes.

At the end of our conversation, Carrie also makes an important point. It’s about choosing the right products that will provide us with the best possible results. – If you want real effects, choose products containing active ingredients with proven effectiveness. I always check whether there are clinical studies confirming the effectiveness of the product – he sums up.
