The Truth About Natural Skincare and Ageing Gracefully
Estimated read time: 5 mins
Ageing is natural—just like your skincare should be. At Twentytwo Skincare, we believe in ageing well, not erasing time. But misinformation around anti-ageing skincare is everywhere. This blog unpacks some of the most common myths and gives you fact-backed, nurturing guidance to help your skin glow at every age.
Myth 1: “Natural skincare can’t help with ageing.”
Truth: Natural ingredients can be incredibly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and restoring glow.
At Twentytwo, we use bio-active botanicals like ginkgo, peptides, and antioxidants because they deliver real, visible benefits. For example, our Rejuvenating Peptide Youth Serum (award-winning, by the way) is formulated to support collagen synthesis and firm the skin—naturally. Clinical studies show that plant-based peptides can be just as effective as their synthetic counterparts, without disrupting your skin's barrier or health.
🌿 Tip: Look for natural products with ingredients like rosehip oil, ginkgo biloba, and botanical hyaluronic acid. They work synergistically to soften wrinkles and improve hydration.
Myth 2: “You only need anti-ageing skincare when wrinkles appear.”
Truth: Prevention is more powerful than correction.
Your skin starts to lose collagen in your mid-twenties. Introducing regenerative skincare earlier supports your skin's natural repair process and helps maintain elasticity over time. It’s not about fighting ageing—it’s about protecting and preserving your skin's glow.
🌞 Use a daily SPF—like our Glowing Mineral 30 SPF Suncream—to protect against photoageing. UV rays are the biggest external ageing factor, even on cloudy days.
Myth 3: “Facial oils clog pores and make ageing worse.”
Truth: Not all oils are created equal.
Plant-based oils that are non-comedogenic and rich in omega fatty acids actually support healthy ageing. Our All-in-One Energising Facial Oil is packed with antioxidant-rich oils like prickly pear and marula that nourish deeply without congestion. They also help the skin retain moisture and reduce oxidative stress—two key contributors to premature ageing.
💡 Advice: Look for facial oils with anti-inflammatory benefits. They help reduce the appearance of age-related redness or dullness.
Myth 4: “You don’t need to moisturise oily or mature skin.”
Truth: Hydration is essential for all skin types.
As we age, the skin's ability to retain water diminishes. Oily skin can still be dehydrated, leading to overproduction of sebum and more visible fine lines. Our Moisture Boosting Oil Free Gel delivers lightweight hydration with a fresh, dewy finish—ideal for combination or breakout-prone skin.
💧 Tip: Layer your skincare. Use a toner like our Moisture Boosting Hydrating Toner before your gel or cream to help ingredients absorb better and lock in hydration.
Age Naturally. Age Beautifully.
Anti-ageing isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about giving your skin the love and support it needs to thrive—naturally. With the right botanical ingredients, consistent care, and sun protection, your skin will reflect your story—not your stress.
