First let me share that when it comes to a basic skincare routine, I recommend using a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen every day.
&nbsp;
When it comes to anti-aging, in the morning after cleansing your face, I recommend incorporating an antioxidant serum &mdash; we like vitamin C serum because it&rsquo;s a very potent antioxidant.&nbsp;
Vitamin C works by preventing collagen breakdown and building more collagen. This means less wrinkles and smoother skin.&nbsp;
After vitamin c, apply a moisturizing sunscreen. Look for SPF 30 or higher. Sunscreen is the most important anti-aging step because it prevents UV rays from damaging our skin and collagen.&nbsp;
In the evening, a very important step is washing your face where you remove the impurities, buildup, grease, makeup, pollution from the day. If you don&rsquo;t wash your face, these elements can affect your skin barrier and contribute to further aging.&nbsp;
One of the most effective collagen building anti-aging products are retinols or prescription retinoids like tretinoin. However these cannot be used during pregnancy so as an alternative I recommend using bakuchiol, which, while milder, has similar collagen building properties.&nbsp; While pregnant, I also think it&rsquo;s helpful to incorporate gentle exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids to help with skin renewal and collagen production. My favorite is glycolic acid, but keep it under 10%. You can alternate this step with bakuchiol.
As a last step, I recommend applying a moisturizer. Look for one with peptides, which can further help build collagen.&nbsp;
