Facial care is extremely important at any age, to prevent the signs of aging as soon as possible. But as we turn years, this relevance increases more and more. We are not talking about the ‘anti-aging’ concept that has negative connotations due to age, but about ‘well-aging’, aging naturally, getting the most out of it.
For this, healthy lifestyle habits are a great help. Sleep well, avoid stress, eat a balanced diet, do not abuse substances such as tobacco… But cosmetics are also a notable ally to show off a radiant face regardless of our age. At the age of 50 and onwards, there are a series of essential products and active ingredients in your dresser.
Hyaluronic acid is a star active ingredient for hydration, which is often a concern for mature skin. It is moisturizing and has the ability to retain moisture in the skin and rehydrate it deeply. With this, the complexion will be more elastic, firm and will prevent superficial wrinkles. You can find it as an ingredient in serums and creams and it is suitable for all skin types.
Retinol is the king compound to combat the signs of aging. It consists of a derivative of vitamin A that significantly stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Fights wrinkles, expression lines, flaccidity, depigment spots, cleanses and smoothes the appearance of pores, improves the appearance of marks and scars, and improves acne and skin texture.
Now, it is a powerful but aggressive asset. Therefore, it is best to start with a serum with a low concentration of retinol a couple of days a week and increase its use and percentage as the skin gets used to it. Remember to use it only at night and apply sunscreen the next day.
The sun is the main culprit for the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, as well as the loss of sagging skin on the face. To combat its damage, it is essential to apply sunscreen throughout the year, even on cloudy days. Use one with SPF 30 at least. Choose yours based on the needs of your skin, as there are specific ones for mature, dry, oily, sensitive skin, with spots, with rosacea, or that includes color to raise the tone.
Bags, wrinkles, dark circles… An unflattering combination that depends a lot on genetics and worsens with age. The eye contour will be your best friend to reduce its appearance and have a radiant look.
The dull tone and translucent complexion is another problem that affects mature skin. A light and illuminating coverage foundation will be perfect for bringing light and that long-awaited ‘glow’ effect to your face, while covering imperfections.
The blush is very flattering to highlight the features and give a healthy appearance to the skin. Choose one with a creamy texture to add juiciness to the complexion.
