A FORMER beauty therapist has revealed six factors she embraces in her skincare routine to defy the signs of aging.
Nicola Jones named two powerful ingredients she’s “obsessed” with among her tips for a youthful appearance.
Jones spent years working in the beauty industry before launching her brand Face Junkie in 2022.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she shared the secret to her ageless appearance.
Jones’s skincare routine was a “mix of indulgence and exploration” when she began her career in her 20s.
“I was fortunate to have access to high-end brands and regular facials,” she said.
“However, looking back, one thing I overlooked was the importance of sunscreen.
“In the 1990s, sun protection wasn’t as emphasized as it is today.”
Experts recommend wearing sunscreen to avoid premature aging, damage from UV rays, and increasing the risk of skin cancer.
Jones revealed a product sold by her brand has since become a staple in her daily skincare routine.
“My daily skincare routine is all about delivering complete care for my skin, from morning to night,” she said.
“I rely on our Hero Collection, which I personally curated as a six-piece ritual designed to cover what I call the six elements of skincare.
“Each step in this collection has a purpose: preparation, prevention, protection, detox, hydration, and regeneration.”
The $150 skincare bundle includes a Brightening Cleanser for morning routines, Vitamin C + Neroli Antioxidant Serum, and Neroli Day Cream + Sunscreen.
For night beauty regimens, it comes with a Green Tea Antioxidant Cleansing Oil, Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum, and Pro-Collagen Night cream.
The selection of products boasts of leaving the skin healthy, “bright and luminous.”

Jones plans to start selling two ingredients that have worked wonders on her skin.
“I’m obsessed with Bakuchiol and Niacinamide, they’re game-changers,” she said.
“Bakuchiol gives all the benefits of retinol but without the irritation, and Niacinamide is my go-to for reducing redness and hyperpigmentation.
“They will both be making their debuts in Face Junkie’s range very soon.
“I also love acid peels for that instant glow and deep exfoliation.”
A holistic approach to skincare has been essential for maintaining her youthful appearance.
“Beyond skincare, I incorporate infrared saunas, which are great for promoting collagen and I use Face Junkie’s Facial Ice Globe every morning to tone and depuff my skin,” she said.
“Lastly, I believe that what you put into your body shows up on your skin.
“That’s why I focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.”
