An Easy Skincare Routine For Mature Skin

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

As skin matures, it starts to show signs of ageing. The body produces less elastin and collagen (the proteins that plump and firm skin), causing skin to appear thin and loose, which means it creases more easily and forms into lines and wrinkles over time. Your skin also stops producing the same level of moisture, so you’ll find it gets drier as you get older. You’ll also notice hyperpigmentation will start to show in areas where you’ve accumulated sun damage over the years, forming age spots. 

If this sounds familiar, or is simply something you want to start to address, there are plenty of great (and affordable) products to help address these key signs of skin ageing. Scroll down for our top tip on how to build an skincare routine for mature skin.

Switching to cream or balm cleanser is ideal for mature skin – they won’t remove anything but the bad stuff, so the ‘good’ oils that skin needs to maintain hydration won’t be stripped away. In fact, many actually do double duty and hydrate skin simultaneously. Since skin loses moisture as we age, it can benefit from the addition of some extra moisturising ingredients.

Serum “][vc_column_text]

Retinol is well-known for being one of the most important ingredients for targeting signs of aging. It stimulates skin to produce collagen and elastin – which we lose as we age but is responsible for keeping skin smooth, plump, and tight. It also helps to even skin texture, reduce the appearance of pigmentation, and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. These serums do take time to deliver results, but consistency and patience pays off.

Toner “][vc_column_text]

As we age, our skin’s moisture levels decrease. Think of toner as an extra chance to ramp up hydration and get some moisture into your skin. Avoid brightening and exfoliating formulas, and instead look out for nourishing ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrating Serum “][vc_column_text]

Hydrating products should be layered from thinnest to thickest in order to seal moisture into skin. So after your toner, apply a hydrating serum – again, ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin are key as they work to draw moisture into the skin. Over time, you’ll notice a softer, smoother complexion with a bright, healthy-looking glow.

Moisturiser “][vc_column_text]

A nourishing moisturiser will help to target any patches of dryness or rough texture, and will plump fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin with the help of ingredients like squalane, omegas, ceramides, and vitamin E. This step will seal in the moisture added in the previous steps. Apply generously and spend time massaging into skin.

Extra Treatments “][vc_column_text]

As skin can feel drier as we age, you may want an additional final moisturising step to target any areas where you notice extra dryness. Consider adding a lip balm, eye cream, neck treatment, or even a face oil for an overall moisture boost.
