What Causes Skin Aging?
Skin aging is a complex process influenced by more than just genetics—our lifestyle and environment play a huge role, too. In fact, dermatologists estimate that up to 80% of visible aging stems from external factors like sun exposure, pollution, and stress.
Over time, cell turnover slows, collagen and elastin diminish, and skin becomes thinner, drier, and less resilient. Fine lines deepen into wrinkles, and firmness gives way to sagging. To help your skin stay plump and lifted, here are a few simple, natural at-home tips.
1. Cleanse Properly: Your First Anti-Aging Step
A consistent cleansing routine is the foundation of youthful skin. Removing makeup and impurities every day at least once a day prevents the buildup that accelerates aging. For a quick, no-rinse option, try our Very Rose Soothing Cleansing Micellar Water—ideal for sensitive skin—or our Very Rose Creamy Cleansing Milk. Both leave skin fresh, hydrated, and ready for your next steps in firming care.
2. Use an Anti-Aging Firming Cream
To keep skin firm, one of the golden rules is choosing an anti-aging cream tailored to your needs. Leveraging decades of expertise in natural-origin formulations, NUXE offers expert skincare for every age and every skin type - each enriched with sensorial textures and captivating fragrances.

- For deep nourishment and radiance in mature, dry skin, turn to Nuxuriance Gold.
3. Don’t Forget Your Neck & Eye Contour
The delicate skin around your neck and eyes is just as prone to sagging—and often overlooked. Extend your firming routine down to the neck and décolleté to help preserve elasticity and firmness. Finish with a specialized eye-contour treatment to address fine lines, puffiness, and thinning skin where it needs it most.
4. Limit Sugar and Load Up on Antioxidants
High-sugar diets accelerate glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to proteins like collagen, making them stiff and prone to damage. This leads to thinner, less-elastic skin and more visible wrinkles. Instead, focus on antioxidant-rich foods—such as goji berries, apples, artichokes, and nuts—to protect fibers and keep skin supple.
5. Hydrate Inside and Out
Hydration is essential for every skin type. Keeping skin—and your body—properly moisturized helps maintain optimal water levels, resulting in a plumper, more resilient complexion. Choose skincare products formulated for deep hydration and comfort, and aim to drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily.
6. Embrace a Skin-Friendly Lifestyle
Environmental stressors like pollution, smoking, excessive alcohol, and a nutrient-poor diet all take a toll on your skin’s health and appearance. Whenever possible, prioritize gentle habits—clean air, balanced nutrition, and moderation—to preserve firmness and radiance for years to come.
