How to care for facial skin after 60 years?

Mature skin is no longer as hydrated and resistant to damage as it used to be, and collagen and elastin levels are constantly declining, resulting in ever deeper wrinkles. Although this is a natural process, it is worth knowing how to care for the skin after 60 years so that it is healthy and nourished. What needs to be done to achieve the desired effect? You will find out in this article!

How to care for facial skin after 60 years? What to pay attention to?

After 60 years, you can definitely talk about mature skin, which, like any other skin type, has its own individual needs. Although the term “skin aging” itself can be worrisome, it only means that changes are taking place in the body that require different care than before. At this age, the thickness of the epidermis decreases, making the skin much thinner and more prone to damage.

Discoloration, birthmarks, broken capillaries, and loose skin around the cheeks, eyes, and mouth are characteristic of mature skin. These changes are caused by the passage of time, but the degree of damage or wrinkling of the skin also depends on how it was cared for in the past. Improper diet or lack of adequate hydration could (and still can) negatively affect the condition of the skin, as well as hormonal changes or the use of stimulants. So let's take a look at your current lifestyle and ask yourself, is there anything you can do to improve it?

By taking care of the right amount of water, nutritional supplements and diet, you can improve the overall condition of the skin, not only of the face, but of the whole body. Treatment, in turn, should be rich in nutrients and intense enough to cope with major changes and at the same time not irritate thin, weakened skin. A safe ingredient with a strong moisturizing effect is, for example, hyaluronic acid.

Also, remember to thoroughly cleanse your face before applying any product. Choose gentle cleansers (i.e. without harsh exfoliating particles) and follow up with a toner, cream and serum that suits your skin's needs. It is also worth adding delicate peels to your care that will effectively exfoliate the epidermis (for example, Flosek Pro Vials gentle enzyme peel, which will also help in the fight against visible vessels).

Facial care after 60 - what to avoid?

Since skin care after 60 years is not an easy task, it is worth knowing what to avoid so as not to harm it. Start by avoiding excessive use of stimulants, such as cigarettes or alcohol, which are detrimental to skin and overall health.

For cosmetics, avoid coarse-grained peels that can cause minor skin damage when rubbed. It is also not recommended to use products that can have a drying effect, because mature skin usually struggles with dryness and lack of moisture. When using different types of acids, make sure that one can be used in tandem with the other, as the wrong combination of products can cause harm in the form of allergic reactions, irritation, and even burns.

If you like a tanned complexion, opt for a tanning spray or bronzing lotions. Exposing your skin to intense sunlight is not a good idea, as UV rays accelerate skin aging and can also cause inflammation. Therefore, remember to use sunscreens with a high sun protection factor (preferably SPF 50+) every day, regardless of the season.

Face creams 60+ - which are effective?

Cosmetic manufacturers offer 60+ face creams for various purposes, such as lifting, nutrition and moisturizing. Of course, the choice of the right preparation depends on the individual needs of your skin, because in addition to age, its type also matters (especially in the case of allergic or rosaceous skin, especially prone to irritation). However, there are aspects that apply to all skin types, such as proper oxygenation and supplementation in the form of vitamins A, E, C, and H.

When choosing a face cream 60+, pay attention to its composition or detailed description. Mature skin requires moisturizing at least twice a day (for example, by applying day and night cream), especially around the eyes. Therefore, it is worth choosing products with additives such as:

• Saflorovoe Aboucom - which will give the skin radiance and gently smooth it.
• Avocado oil - Being the latest hit among natural cosmetics, it perfectly moisturizes the skin, has a protective and nourishing effect.
• Shea Butter - has a softening and smoothing effect, and also retains moisture inside the skin.
• Folic acid (folic acid) - helps in the regeneration of skin cells, strengthens and prevents water loss, which is extremely important at this age.

Properly selected day and night creams will protect the epidermis from external factors (for example, Pro Collagen 60+ cream from Yoskine, rich in protective filters).

Systematic application can significantly improve the appearance of the skin and increase its density. Anti-wrinkle cream 60 plus can also improve the oval of the face and is suitable at any time of the day, for example, Eveline Hyaluron Expert cream.

Before buying, be sure to check other products suitable for mature skin, such as serums or anti-aging ampoules.
