Rating of face creams after 50 years

During the time that the current fifty-year-olds live in the world, the world has changed beyond recognition. And today, a well-groomed woman at 50 does not look like a grandmother at all. Because it takes good care of your skin. And the Healthy-Food editors are ready to suggest excellent care products for her.

Features of creams for those over 50

What happens to the skin by the age of 50? Ekaterina Turubara, a medical expert at Vichy, explains: “Under the influence of hormonal changes, the density of the skin decreases, it sags, which is most noticeable in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds, neck, and eyelids. Due to the slowdown in the overall metabolism, the synthesis of sebum decreases, so the epidermis becomes drier, loses its ability to retain moisture. Cell renewal slows down, for example, the normal keratinocyte cycle increases from 28-30 days to 45-50 days.
In accordance with age-related changes, changes in daily skin care are also required. Skin 50+ needs most of all:

  • powerful hydration, as the ability to retain moisture is reduced;

  • nutrition – protection from inevitable dryness;

  • update support;

  • protection from adverse external influences and oxidative stress;

  • lifting effect.

Over the years, the face begins to gradually sink down. With proper care, this process can be slowed down.

Features of composition

In short, the composition of the cream should contain ingredients that the skin itself, due to age, can no longer produce in sufficient quantities.

  • hyaluronic acid to replenish their own resources.

  • Oils to compensate for the lack of lipids.

  • acids for a gentle exfoliation that stimulates delayed skin renewal.

  • Antioxidants are needed because as skin ages, it becomes more and more difficult to cope with the protection against free radicals on its own.

  • Probiotics – to improve the microbiome of the skin, its general condition. An action is built on their activity, for example, Génifique Youth Activator, Lancôme.

  • Peptides (amino acids) work as signal molecules and stimulate the activity of skin cells.

  • In day care, components for visual lifting effect.

Cosmetics 50+

Baby Boomers, or children of the sexual revolution, as the generation that was born in the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century is called in the world, refused to grow old! It was they who came up with the concept of “anti-aging”, created an entire industry around it and transferred the fabulous dream of rejuvenation into the realm of concrete action.

Many cosmetic brands have become enthusiastic about innovation, deeply researching the issues of aging and the possibilities of combating it. The clearer it became what happens in the body over the years, the clearer age gradations appeared in creams. Therefore, marking 45+, 50+, 55+, 65+ is not a marketing ploy, as some people think.

For those who do not want to grow old, nothing is impossible!

Rules for choosing anti-aging creams

  • Focus on your age.

  • Consider the condition of the skin, because the numbers on the package are averaged – for some, age-related changes occur earlier, for others later.

  • Take into account the type of skin. By the age of 50, as a rule, most women have dry skin. And the fat one, which caused a lot of trouble in her youth, is approaching normal in her state. If this is your case, keep in mind that some lines contain day products for both dry and normal aging skin.

The result of anti-aging cosmetics depends on both the manufacturer and the user. Many products require a course application and have application features, so it is important to read the instructions.
