When it comes to aging, it’s not about forcing our skin to look younger with harsh treatments or chemicals. It’s simply about choosing products that work with your skin, naturally.

As we get older, our skin goes through natural changes like slowing down the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid, says Plastic and Aesthetic Research, essential compounds that keep our skin smooth, firm and hydrated. 

Here’s a not-so-fun fact: Our body’s collagen production declines by about one percent each year in our mid-20s, according to UCLA Health. Our skin’s ability to repair itself diminishes over time, resulting in the visible signs of aging. 

While quick fixes like topical anti-aging creams or other invasive treatments may temporarily address these visible signs — typically by using harsh chemicals or procedures that may aggressively exfoliate or irritate the skin — they often fall short of addressing the deeper, cellular-level changes in the skin that impact its long-term vitality.

This is where a more holistic approach comes in. Skin longevity focuses on supporting our skin’s health from within through healthier lifestyle and skincare product choices, rather than relying on surface-level fixes to mask the signs of aging. Targeting the root causes of aging at a molecular level to minimize its signs, it’s the kind of care that’s science-backed, preventive and sustainable.

Nowadays, skincare formulas go beyond the basics, focusing on powerful ingredients that work with our skin’s natural processes to help keep it radiant, strong, and healthy over time. Homegrown brand Human Nature, established for its skin-loving ingredients backed by science and advances in natural technology — all minus the harmful chemicals – has come out with two natural nighttime skincare powerhouses: Radiant Grace Night Cream and Overnight Elixir.

Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative that smooths fine lines without irritation, is the core ingredient for these skincare products.

To support and boost Bakuchiol’s benefits are Ceramides that strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture, and Vitamin C to visibly brighten age spots and reveal a more radiant complexion over time.

The night serum also has Squalane, which deeply hydrates and restores dry, mature skin, and 9ActiveOils, a rejuvenating synergy of antioxidants, vitamins and fatty acids that enhances the skin’s appearance, tone and texture. It also includes Butterfly Lavender, an ingredient known for its wrinkle-relaxing properties and regarded as a natural alternative to Botox.

Together, these two work in harmony to restore, replenish and renew skin, revealing timeless radiance.
