Let’s start with how many skin products do you need.

So, in AGE we have made it simple to build a simple skincare regime at home and the products in every step depend on the skin concerns and goal. So that you can have glowing and fresh-looking skin that dry skin carves for.

Let’s build a dry skincare routine following the above six steps
Before I answer this, let me explain to you, what dry skin is and whether is it temporary due to seasonal changes or do you have dry skin year-round. So, when you build your skincare regime, no more over-hyped marketing will make you buy the products rather you will ask yourself - “Am I paying to solve my skin concern or for the beautiful advertisement?”
If it is seasonal dryness, because of weather changes, you will need two products to be added to your skincare regime. If it is year-round dryness, then you need a proper skincare regime as per dry skin type.
When your skin gets dry in winter because cold winter brings low humidity and low humidity draws moisture out of the outer layer of the skin. So, some changes in the skincare regime will do its work.
Let’s not get confused that seasonal dry skin means you have dry skin. Just changing a few products in the winter will fix your dryness and for the rest year you can use the regime that you were using.
Step 1 for Seasonal dryness – AGE Face and Body Butter
AGE Face and Body butter is a rich creamy formula that gets easily absorbed by the skin significantly reducing dryness. All you need to do is just warm up a bit of Face and Body Butter between your palms and massage gently on your face after cleanser and toner. The Face and Body Butter contains natural butter like cocoa, and shea, in combination with nourishing oils like Sweet almond oil and jojoba, aloe vera, etc. This will give instant moisturisation to your skin for several hours and a natural glow that’s what dry skin craves for.
Remember keeping your skin moisturised is the best way to manage seasonal dry skin.
In case, you still feel dryness, then add AGE Cleansing Milk in winter.
That’s all! Let’s have a realistic approach towards building a skincare regime for a seasonal skincare wardrobe. It’s just like, if we stay in a place where it’s winter for just 2 to 3, we need a few jackets and sweatshirts, but if we stay in a colder city then we will need a lot more to prevent dryness.
Now let’s discuss dry skin year-round regime.
What causes excessively dry skin?
When skin loses water too quickly it becomes dry and also with age the skin produces less sebum, the natural oil that your skin produces that keeps skin moisturised, soft, and youthful. No or less sebum is equal to no or less moisture in the skin, and that results in dry skin.
Remember, it is common for dry skin to become drier over time. The drier the skin, the more it is prone to wrinkles and ageing faster. That’s where a proper skincare regime as per your skin type which is doable at home plays a very important role.
There are six simple steps to build a skincare routine as per your skin type. Let’s discuss step by step.
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Scrub
- Treat
- Moisturiser
- Protect
Step 1 is Cleanser
This is the foundation to build a skincare regime. We all need canvas-clean skin for our moisturiser and serums to work and give the best results.
AGE Skin Love Rose and Almond Face Wash and AGE Cleansing Milk
Dry skin needs a very gentle and moisturising facial cleanser that removes all the impurities and cleans the face while keeping the skin moisturised. AGE Skin Love Rose and Almond Face Wash and AGE Cleansing Milk are the first foundation to build the first step of dry skincare regime.
Why AGE Skin Love Rose and Almond Face Wash and AGE Cleansing Milk?
AGE Cleansing Milk is something that you should not skip in your daily skincare routine. The perfect balance of natural ingredients and hydration could be a treat for dry skin.
AGE Skin Love Rose and Almond Face Wash is creamy and very mild, and still knows how to do the job of cleaning.
How you will use it, will totally depend on how your skin feels at that moment. AGE Cleansing Milk will be the second step in winter and in summer it will be the first – AGE Cleansing Milk and then face wash.
The AGE Founders always say in their training – “Don’t add two serums to start with, instead add two cleansers to build the right foundation of a skincare regime because canvas-clean skin is the necessity for other products to work efficiently, which the client has paid money for.
AGE just doesn’t sell, we solve. That’s the beauty when you buy AGE products.
Step 2- Toner
AGE Rose and Rice Face Toner
AGE Rose and Rice Face Toner has rose that is known for its hydrating properties, rice comes from generation to us, and niacinamide for those extra benefits.
Why do we need toner as a second step?
Toner is like a primer for the rest of your skincare routine because it’s the first leave-in step that hydrates and treats. AGE Toner looks like water, and acts like water for dry skin, but it’s not water. As it is the first leave-in step after cleansing. AGE believes in adding products in a way that can solve more problems so it can be multi-tasking. This AGE Toner comes with mild serum properties, with the essence of freshly plucked rose, rice that comes from generations to us, and niacinamide and protein as dry skin need extra care.
After including face toner for both night and day skincare routines, now let’s talk about treating.
Step 3 – Treat
Now you already know what cleansing and toner do. Let’s talk about treating. What does treating involve?
The goal of any good skincare regime is to target problem areas like pigmentation, wrinkles, dryness, uneven skin tone, getting the glow back and skin should feel fresh, etc.
AGE Turmeric Night Serum
If you are very new, I mean starting your skincare journey then start with AGE Turmeric Night Serum-Normal Skin Type. We all have heard the benefits of turmeric from our elders and now it’s time to incorporate that into the skincare regime. It focuses on repairing your day damage, lightening pigmentation, and also softening fine lines and wrinkles.
AGE Skin Love Serum
Once you get used to AGE Turmeric Night Serum then add AGE Skin Love Serum, which also has an anti-ageing effect as it plumps the skin, ability to lock moisture, rebuild healthy skin cells, soothe inflammation, reduce hyperpigmentation, and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
When both AGE Turmeric Night Serum and AGE Skin Love Serum are used in your nighttime skincare regime, they will do a killer-job, because they can help to reduce pigmentation, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, dark spots, and dullness at a faster speed.
AGE Skin Love Retinol Serum
Will not suggest retinol when you are very new to building a skincare regime for dry skin. Once you get used to the above, start to enjoy the journey of taking care of yourself, and your skincare goal changes as you age then you can add on AGE Skin Love Retinol Serum. I know the world is screaming to use retinol but let’s first build a skincare regime then add if needed retinol or else let's save it for older age.
Step 4: Moisturise
Remember, keeping your skin moisturised is the key to healthy dry skin.
AGE Face and Body Butter
AGE Face and Body butter is a rich creamy formula that gets easily absorbed by the skin significantly reducing dryness. All you need to do is just warm up a bit of Face and Body Butter between your palms and massage gently on your face after cleanser and toner. The Face and Body Butter contains natural butter like cocoa, and shea, in combination with nourishing oils like Sweet almond oil and jojoba, aloe vera, etc. This will give instant moisturisation to your skin for several hours and a natural glow that’s what dry skin craves for.
Step 5- Protect
AGE Sunscreen
AGE Sunscreen is a physical sunscreen that sits on the top layer of the skin, creating a protective barrier. It can prevent sun rays from penetrating and damaging your skin, which can cause hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and more. The lightweight and non-greasy formula soothes skin and keeps it feeling fresh for hours. Best of all, it doesn’t leave any white cast after application.
Now, let’s talk about AGE Weekly Routine.
Weekly routine is underestimated while building a regime because these extra 5 minutes, twice a week will keep your skin free from dead skin and will give you a facial-like glow.
Step 6- Weekly Care
Honey and Oats Scrubber
AGE Honey and Oats Scrubber is one of the mildest scrubbers available on the market, which can remove your dead skin cells without tearing your skin.
Why do we need AGE Honey and Oats Scrubber?
You may have a solid skin day and night care routine. Once you have a skincare regime for day and night, after some time you will see the products are not giving the desired results because you are not removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. As we are young the dead skin cells get removed on their own, but as we age the process becomes slow and if you don’t remove the dead skin cells, you are applying products on dead skin cells. So, how do we get the result? So, AGE educates its clients, “Monday and Friday are Scrubbing Day.”
Don’t worry! When you buy a complete skincare regime from AGE, from our team, or our website (only), you get After Sales Reminders, so that you can build a habit and through consistency, you can see the results, like our 3 Lakh 40 Thousand happy Clients do.
AGE is not new in the market. We just don’t believe in over-hyped marketing. Once an AGE Client, always an AGE Client.
Now, we have curated three sets of skincare regimes as per your skin type, concerns, and condition. You can choose according to your requirements and receive a complimentary 3 months of After Sales Reminder from AGE.
The cost of the regime is approx. Rs 4000 to Rs. 5000 but the best part is it will last you approx. 3 to 4 months except for two products that you have to refill that is toner and day cream, every 1 and a half or two months.
So approx. per month expenditure for the regime is Rs. 1200 to Rs. 1400, so per day will be about Rs 40.
Yes! AGE has made it possible to give luxurious products at a competitive price so everyone can use them as a luxury not just buy once for luxury.
