Ageing is a natural process, but its visible signs on the skin often leave us seeking effective solutions. From dehydration, loss of elasticity, sagging skin and wrinkles, ageing manifests in multiple ways, each requiring a targeted approach.

Powered with Ayurvedic botanicals such Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica), Arjuna Extracts, and Indian Gooseberry, Amarrupa’s range of anti-ageing products, offers powerful solutions for combating the signs of ageing skin. In this guide, we’ll explore the common signs of ageing and how to prevent and treat them effectively. 

10 Common Signs of ageing Skin  

Dryness 

With age, the skin produces less natural oil, leading to dryness. A change in season or low temperature along with hormonal changes can also exacerbate dryness. 

How to combat:  

  • Start with ensuring your lifestyle includes adequate hydration with water, seasonal fruits and vegetables along with wholegrains. 
  • Add abhyanga or massage with any of our organic oils to your daily routine. 
  • Hydrate with Amarrupa Contour Defining and Firming Cream, which locks in moisture and nourishes deeply. 

Dull Skin 

A decline in cell turnover results in a lackluster complexion. 

How to combat:  

  • Hydrating ingredients like Indian Gooseberry help restore skin’s natural glow. 
  • Add Kumkumadi Mask-Scrub to remove dead skin cells and purify your skin 

Open Pores 

One of the lesser-known signs of ageing are open or enlarged pores. Caused by dehydration or improper skincare routine, the lack of oils weakens pore walls, making them more noticeable. 

How to combat 

  • Follow a CTM regime include a mild cleanser, a toner like Pure Mogra Water ideal for enlarged pores. 
  •  Use a face cream like Amarrupa Contour Defining & FIrming Cream that firm and refine the skin’s texture. 

Uneven Skin Texture 

Skin becomes rough due to a lack of hydration and exfoliation. 

How to combat 

  • Follow a CTM regime daily. 
  • Exfoliate weekly using a mild, brightening scrub or a clay mask. 
  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin against sun damage. 
  • Look for hydrating and brightening ingredients like Licorice Oleoactive®, Hyaluronic Acid and Saffron that can brighten uneven skin. Discover Kumkumadi Range here 

Fine Lines and Wrinkles 

Caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin, wrinkles are one of the earliest signs of ageing. 

How to combat:  

  • Use collagen-boosting ingredients like Gotu Kola and Arjuna Extract found in Amarrupa collection. 

Loss of Firmness 

Ageing reduces skin’s elasticity, leading to sagging, especially around the jawline and cheeks. 

How to combat:  

  • Powered by Ayurvedic botanicals rich in Omega 3 and 6, like Amarrupa Facial Oil, can improve firmness. 

7. Dark Spots and Pigmentation 

Sun exposure and ageing can lead to uneven skin tone.

  • Use brightening ingredients like Licorice Oleoactive® to fade pigmentation.  
  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin against sun damage. 

8. Thinning Skin 
 
 

Reduced collagen can make the skin appear thinner and more fragile. 

How to combat:  

  • Strengthen the skin barrier with ingredients like Shea Butter and Ceramides found in Kumkumadi Night Balm.

Poor circulation and fatigue contribute to under-eye concerns.
