Regardless as to why a patient comes through my clinic doors, the conversation always turns to “what is the best anti-ageing cream for my skin?” At Salubre we offer anti-wrinkle skin care solutions including the best eye cream for fine lines, collagen serums for age spots and tea to promote healthy glowing skin from within. All these anti-ageing skin care products have one goal in mind and that is to boost collagen and elastin while nurturing the delicate skin barrier.
Before I get into the exact anti-ageing skin nutrients mature and sun-damaged skin needs; I’d like to bring your attention to something very important that will save you thousands of dollars and create the perfect foundation for the long term health and wellness of your skin, and that is the health of your skin barrier.
Historically, skincare companies, dermal therapists, dermatologists and all the professionals that focus on skin health rejuvenation have been tailoring product development and treatments around restoring the health of the skin barrier.
In recent times, the obsession with instant gratification has taken a toll on the skin. Now, we can point fingers and blame the Kim Kardashian epidemic, botox / fillers or the urgent need to instantly look younger but the truth lies behind the lack of a deeper understanding as to what the skin needs to truly turn back the clock and create long-lasting hydration.
My focus and the ethos of Salubre has always been centred on providing the vital nutrients the skin is lacking to utilise and encourage its natural ability to heal. This essential element restores wellness in the skin rather than simply masking ageing until treatments start to fade away.
How to Improve the signs of ageing with natural and organic anti-ageing skincare products.
We can’t stop the ageing clock, but we can slow it down with providing your skin the nutrients it needs to fight free radicals to prevent and treat the signs of ageing.
As we age, our skin gets thinner, collagen and elastin are produced in smaller quantities, free radicals create oxidation, there’s an increase in pigmentation, sagging and drooping as fat starts to decline in the face.
The main instigators of these signs of ageing are stress, lack of quality sleep, poor diet, poor nutrition, smoking, alcohol and caffeine consumption. In a nutshell, anything that creates inflammation will accelerate the ageing process. Now, you may be saying, “Hey, that takes all the good stuff out of my life”. Moderation is key, and the less of the bad stuff you consume the healthier you will be inside and out.
The other main issue with ageing is not using the right products or not using them regularly enough. You can’t get that killer body by exercising once a month. Same thing goes with your skin health, you need a skincare regime that includes a morning and night ritual. The aim is to plump, hydrate, smooth, de-pigment, firm, lift and tighten. These can all be done with natural and organic skincare with a sprinkle of peptide technology.

- Pomegranate Exfoliating Gel
- Anti-Oxidant Enriched Day Moisturising Cream

Best Anti-Ageing Cleanser – Organic 8 Cleansing Oil
Some cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils and with mature skin being more delicate in nature, a cleanser must hydrate and cleanse at the same time. The collagen producing Organic 8 Cleansing Oils contain 8 organic oils that provide key nutrients the skin needs to fight free radical damage, hydrate the skin and stimulate the collagen and elastin boosting elements in the skin.
The Organic 8 Cleansing Oil is a superior anti-wrinkle cleanser because it is 100% organic, it contains 100% oils, and is 100% preservative free. No fillers have been added to reduce the quality of the product.
As an added bonus, the Organic 8 Cleansing Oil easily removes make up and protects the lipids in the skin to restore and hydrate the skin barrier. You can even use it as your anti-ageing moisturiser too.
Team it up with the best collagen serum, Drops of Youth ‘Elixir of Beauty’ for a superior anti-ageing treatment for your skin. This elixir is packed with anti-ageing ingredients that have science to back them up. Most importantly, the anti-ageing benefits accumulate with regularity and frequency so your skin will improve, and you don’t lose the benefits if you happen to miss a day of application.
A great way to help pave the way for these active ingredients to flow deeper into the skin and get that glow happening, is to use the Pomegranate Exfoliating Gel after your Organic 8 Cleansing Oil and before your anti-ageing moisturiser. The gel is great for the delicate nature of mature skin, but a superior way of breaking down those dead, dull skin cells that build a barrier and stop all that anti-ageing goodness from entering your skin’s deeper layers.
Best Anti-Ageing Toner – Rose Revitalising Spritzer
Essential Oils have a long history of exhibiting a multitude of therapeutic effects on the skin. The Damask Rose, is one of the most expensive oils (challenged by Neroli Oil) due to being extracted from the rose petal. Its anti-ageing benefits and its ability to heal wounds form the basis of this rose hydrosol formulation.
Supported by anti-ageing heavy-weights, Neroli Hydrosol, Siberian Ginseng, Gingko Biloba, Green Tea, Kakadu Plum (richest natural source of vitamin C), and Lactic Acid. This simple anti-ageing toner will introduce a magnitude of anti-ageing benefits to your skin.

A great skin detox is the Detoxifying Facial Masque that draws out all the impurities in the skin and is very gentle for mature skin. You won’t find any abrasive ingredients in Salubre Skincare, as we prevent any micro-scratches on the skin’s surface. While your masque dries, spray the Rose Revitalising Spritzer and soak in the anti-ageing benefits while detoxifying your skin.

Best Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream – Eye Serum
The eyes are the windows to your soul and are also the window to your age. With all the treatments available on the market, very few are safe for the eye area. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and can bruise very easily. For this reason, investing in a premium eye serum is the best investment you can make to fight the signs of ageing around the eye area.
Darkness, puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes are the most common concerns with ageing. The anti-ageing Eye Serum, is formulated with the highest concentration of peptides permitted in skincare.

Best Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream – Anti-Oxidant Enriched Day Moisturising Cream
Dry skin with fine lines and sagging are the most common concerns with ageing. There are many elements that instigate these ‘symptoms’ of ageing such as the food we eat and the lifestyle choices we make. They play a significant part in accelerating the ageing process. Rejuvenating the skin topically is essential to support the skin’s surface as the nutrient-rich anti-wrinkle cream will help the skin’s inbuilt repair system to work more efficiently.
Salubre’s Anti-Oxidant Enriched Day Moisturising Cream is deeply concentrated and contains absolutely no nasty toxins to hurt the skin. Based on the understanding of Chinese Medicine, the ingredients chosen are highly rejuvenating by delivering naturally formed vitamins and essential nutrients as a complete package to the skin. This is nature working at its best without human intervention choosing the vitamins needed.
You see, natural ingredients contain all the essential vitamins and minerals needed. When using synthetic vitamins, one must add what science has currently proven. The issue is science only knows a drop in the ocean and to give nature’s pharmacy the ability to work its wonders on our skin is what Salubre has founded its formulations on.
For super dry skin, get a deeper hydration by using the Rejuvenating Night Cream with Vitamin A for your night-time skin ritual. As we sleep, our skin rejuvenates. So, you will find this anti-wrinkle night cream to be a thicker, more luxurious concentration as oppose to the anti-wrinkle day cream which is much lighter and more suitable for day-time application.
To allow for the maximum absorption of your skin, it is so important to incorporate an exfoliator into your skincare routine. Just applying product after product without exfoliating the build-up of dead surface cells, will form a barrier on your skin and limit the amount of skincare absorbed in your skin.
The Pomegranate Exfoliating Gel will do this in the gentlest way which makes it ideal for the delicate nature of mature skin. Our focus is always rejuvenating the skin barrier and supporting the skin’s natural ability to heal.

5 Simple Things you can Do at Home to Prevent Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Nutrition – This is a huge topic of conversation, so I’ll keep it brief; to slow down the ageing process eat an alkaline rich diet; green leafy vegetables, detoxifying vegetables, white meat and organic, wholefoods. And to speed it up eat an acidic diet; this include alcohol, sugar, dairy, red meat, fast food. Inflammation in the body will cause disease and that in itself can speed up the ageing process. So, keeping your diet nutrient rich 90% of the time with a splurge 10% will allow your body to be healthy and keep your skin looking youthful.
Sleep – Many of us talk about getting 8 hours sleep but did you know it’s the time that you get to sleep that can make all the difference? Getting to bed before 11pm will allow your body to effectively detoxify and get you enjoying a more rejuvenated sleep. In fact, you can have less sleep if you get to bed before 11pm as opposed to after. Have you ever gone to bed 1am and waken up around 10am? You probably felt like you were hit by a truck. This type of sleeping is very stressful on the body and it also doesn’t allow the body to rejuvenate, which is what it does while you sleep.
Exercise / Meditation – Keeping the body fit and healthy both physically and mentally does amazing things for your health. Your skin is a reflection of your inner health and by enjoying a physically active lifestyle helps to regulate sugar levels, tone muscles, promote digestive health and encourage optimal cardiovascular health. All these are great pillars of health when it comes to promoting an anti-ageing lifestyle.
Keeping Hydrated – Drinking water is the easiest thing to do yet so many people find it challenging. Break up your water consumption during the day by enjoying a glass of water every hour on the hour. It’s easy to get swept up in your day and by the end of it you haven’t drank a drop of water. Water keeps your body hydrated and is only one element of keeping you hydrated. Fluid consumption is enjoyed with fruits and vegetables we eat, herbal teas, soups and stews and the list goes on. Initially, you may need to repeatedly remind yourself, but once you get into a routine, you be thirsty for more.
The Company You Keep – This might sound a little odd but the company you keep; the partner you choose even the career you choose impact your mental health. Often, we don’t think of this and sometimes we can get caught up with life and not take a moment to think and reflect. Meditation (as mentioned above) is a great way to reflect. Are the friends you have feeding your soul or destroying it? Stress is not only a key factor that accelerates ageing, but it also accelerates the manifestation of disease. Don’t be afraid to let go of friendships or a relationship that no longer serves you. That space will be filled with the right person as long as you know what you want and how you wish to be treated.
