Features of creams for those who have crossed the 30-year milestone
The bad news: the aging process in the body starts after 25, and five years later it is only gaining momentum. The good news: “It has been proven that only 20% of age-related changes are genetically determined, the remaining 80% is an external influence on the body,” says Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.
Go through an individual anti-aging skin diagnosis based on artificial intelligence and choose the right care!
In this case, genetically programmed aging is expressed primarily in superficial changes in the skin:
increased dryness;
slow cell renewal;
dull color.
But the destruction of protein structures, on which the elasticity and density of the skin depends, the change in its texture and the uneven distribution of the pigment, are directly related to the influence external factors, lifestyle, habitat.
Skin condition depends on lifestyle and habitat.
The main enemies of youthful skin are quite rightly considered:
bad ecology;
UV radiation;
stress and chronic sleep deprivation;
dry air;
smoking.
Fortunately, the skin is a renewing organ capable of self-healing. The task of anti-aging cosmetics, addressed to those who have crossed the 30-year milestone:
correct visible signs of aging;
prevent those that are in the formative stage.
Vichy entrusts this task to the line Slow Age.

After 30 years, the skin loses one of the main signs of youth – radiance. Due to the aggressive influence of external factors and the slowing down process of cell renewal, its quality changes:
the texture becomes uneven;

Solving these problems is the task of the products of the line Idealia.

LiftActiv Line
The gap between 30 and 40 is a wonderful age, you are no longer a child, but it is still far from real maturity. It is too early to talk about the loss of skin elasticity, but it is already worth thinking about prevention.
Day cream for all skin types Collagen Specialist
Every year, the skin loses up to 1% of collagen, the main structural protein that provides skin elasticity. So close to wrinkles. What to do? It remains to use cosmetics with components that stimulate collagen synthesis. The cream contains peptides of types I and II, which stimulate the production of its own collagen, and a derivative of vitamin C, which also affects its synthesis.

Stress is rightly considered the number one enemy for the skin (only the sun can compete with it). But since it is very difficult to avoid it in our time, one thing remains: save the skin with the help of products with vitamins, antioxidants and hydrators. This serum contains high concentrations of vitamin C, other powerful free radical scavengers, vitamin E and fragmented hyaluronic acid.
