The best face creams after 50 years 2022

With age, changes in hormonal levels affect the rate of renewal of skin cells and other metabolic processes within them. To ensure comprehensive protection of your skin from aging, you need to choose the right “anti-age” cream that has a special formula for the age of 50+. We tell you how to properly satisfy the needs of your skin.

“Unfortunately, the skin of the face does not get younger every day. Over the years, women experience a loss of tone and elasticity, wrinkles appear. Already by the age of 50, under the influence of hormonal changes, the skin reduces its density and sags. Due to the slow metabolism in adulthood, sebum synthesis drops, and the epidermis can no longer maintain skin moisture on its own. Accordingly, in order to avoid such problems, you need to choose the right products for daily skin care. How to do it right and not make a mistake will tell Aminat Bagaeva, cosmetologist-dermatologist, trichologist seti clinic CIDK.

How to choose a face cream after 50 years

With age, the face gradually begins to sink down. But with proper care, this process can be stopped. Taking into account age-related changes, special changes will be required in daily skin care, such as: intensive moisturizing, nutrition as a barrier against dryness, protection from adverse environmental conditions, renewal, lifting effect, – explains Aminat Bagaeva.

– When choosing an anti-aging face cream 50+, you need to consider a number of rules. First, it is, of course, age. Pay attention not only to the inscription “anti-age”, but also to the number on the package, since the composition, quantity and concentration of the components depend on this. Secondly, consider the condition and type of skin. Each has its own characteristics: age-related changes, for example, may appear on the face a little earlier than the cream is intended. Also, skin type is one of the determining criteria when choosing a product. As a rule, by the age of 50, the skin becomes dry. If a woman had an oily skin type, then over time it turns into a normal, combined one. It is worth knowing that some cosmetic lines produce creams for both dry and normal aging skin.

The ingredients that should be included in anti-aging creams after 50 years are exactly those that the skin can no longer produce on its own in normal quantities to maintain tone. This is the main difference between these funds and those intended for 35+ and younger.

hyaluronic acid – has not only a deep moisturizing effect, but also smoothes wrinkles and creases, improves skin elasticity and firmness.

Oils – help to compensate for the lack of lipids in the skin. It is important that they are vegetable (for example, almond or coconut).

acids – for light exfoliation of the skin to stimulate its renewal.

Antioxidants – act as “protectors”, since with age the skin can no longer defend itself against free radicals. They can be: sunscreens, serums containing vitamin C and E, alpha-lipoic acid, Q10 or resveratrol.

Peptides (amino acids) – help to increase the production of collagen and elastin, which returns skin elasticity and smoothness, wrinkles are smoothed out.

Phytoestrogens – substances to maintain the skin during menopause (they are also analogues of female sex hormones of plant origin). Effectively affect the level of collagen protein, improving skin quality and not addictive.

Retinoids – promote skin rejuvenation and renewal, effectively affect pigmentation and wrinkles.

Lifting components – have an instant lifting effect, tighten the skin. Usually, caffeine or silicone is added to the cream for these purposes.

SPF filters – protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. Choose a cream with a protection label of at least 30.
