Aging skin requires the use of advanced products that are rich in proper ingredients. While caring for this skin type, you need conscious action aimed at boosting moisture, delivering nutrients, repairing, exfoliating, ensuring antioxidants and protection.

BOOSTING MOISTURE

Mature skin is thin, limp and prone to various outside factors (e.g. wind, frost, the sunlight), therefore, keeping it moisturised is the basis of anti-aging skin care. Among others, your cosmetics should be rich in hyaluronic acid, urea, collagen, glycerol, as well as Aloe, algae and green tea extracts. Such products should be also high in ingredients slightly replenishing lipid layer such as lactic acid, cosmetic butters and oils. However, before using them, make sure your skin is perfectly clean and all makeup residue is removed (use a scrub, for example). Never forget other skin parts that are exposed to extreme dryness – elbows, hands, feet, neck, decolletage.

NOURISHING & REPAIRING

While we grow older, the amount of collagen and elastin drops, leading to the appearance of wrinkles. In order to slightly delay the process and disguise its consequences, you must properly nourish and regenerate your skin. Get products that contain vitamin A and E, coenzyme Q10 and peptides. The ingredients firm up the skin, even out its tone, smooth out and make it look rested.

EXFOLIATION

Mature skin quickly undergoes keratinization, and is affected by dry patches and epidermal thickening. To keep your skin in excellent shape and looking young, you must regularly exfoliate it. Products with abrasives, peeling gels and enzyme scrubs purify the epidermis, increase the blood flow and prime the skin for next steps of your beauty or makeup routine. Exfoliate the face and body skin at least once a week.

ANTIOXIDANT DELIVERY

An immensely important (or maybe the most important) stage of aging skin care. Mature skin is vulnerable to free radicals, UV rays, air pollution, physical damage. Antioxidant skin products shield against such factors and hold back the results of aging. Antioxidants include vitamins A, C and E, beta carotene, coenzyme Q10, ferulic acid, UV filter.

PROTECTIVE SHIELD

Protecting the skin involves using sunblock as well as preventing further aging processes. Above all, it means moisturising, repairing the natural hydro-lipid layer and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. To protect mature skin, use products packed with lipids, ceramides, allantoin or lanolin.
