Features of skin care after 60 years
Crossing the age limit of 60 years, a woman is going through a hormonal restructuring of the body, against which the natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for skin tone, firmness and elasticity, is significantly reduced. These changes are associated with estrogen deficiency, which usually begins in women aged 45+. At the same time, the epidermis becomes thinner, becomes sensitive, loses density and the ability to retain moisture, the protective barrier of the skin weakens, and age spots appear. The natural process of cell renewal also slows down: the life cycle of a keratinocyte increases from 30 to 50 days.
To support aging skin, compensatory care is needed, the anti-aging formulas of which contain highly effective components that replenish moisture and collagen deficiency in skin cells. Do not forget also about the skin around the eyes, on the neck and décolleté. What should be paid special attention to in daily skin care 60+:
- deep hydration;
- Nutrition and strengthening of the epidermis;
- Acceleration of skin cell renewal;
- Antioxidant protection;
- Lightening age spots on the face;
- Compensation for the lack of collagen and elastin in the skin;
- Daily UV protection.
How to choose a face cream after 60 years
By the age of 60, the level of sex hormones responsible for the production of protective lipids in the female body decreases. This is the main reason why age-related changes on the face become visible to the naked eye and become permanent. Deficiency of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid provokes increased dryness of the epidermis, which in turn causes new wrinkles, reduced skin turgor and dull complexion.
Cosmetics based on oils that strengthen and restore the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin, preventing transepidermal moisture loss and dehydration will help compensate for the lack of own lipids. Other ingredients to look for in anti-aging skin care products 60+:
The main anti-aging ingredients in cosmetics are retinol and its derivatives, antioxidants, proxylan, peptides and acids.
- Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient. Products based on it will help to significantly reduce even deep static wrinkles, improve skin turgor, moisturize and renew the skin. Retinol stimulates the formation of new cells and promotes exfoliation of old ones, due to this, the complexion improves and pigmentation decreases. It also helps stimulate fibroblasts, resulting in increased collagen production, increased production of hyaluronic acid, and improved skin elasticity and hydration.
- Antioxidants help block the action of free radicals, which trigger the processes of oxidation and aging of the skin.
- Peptides are effective anti-aging ingredients. Signal peptides stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Enzyme inhibitors inhibit the action of collagen-degrading enzymes. Neurotransmitters – reduce wrinkles by relaxing muscles.
- Acids (glycolic, mandelic, malic, tartaric, etc.) exfoliate the skin, moisturize and improve its barrier function. They are also able to increase the production of natural collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin.
- Proxylan increases the synthesis of collagen and elastin, increases the level of moisture, helps restore skin elasticity, density and natural radiance.
