Mature Skin

Mature skin (from the age of 50) shows pronounced wrinkles. Think of crow's feet, nasolabial folds (from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and forehead lines. This is mainly because you move your forehead the most through facial expressions. The skin also loses its radiance, moisture, elasticity and firmness. Other characteristics are dark circles, age spots and sagging skin.

What causes mature skin?

Mature skin is caused by the skin's natural ageing process. As you get older, skin cells renew more slowly and the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid slows down. The result? Looser, more wrinkled and less firm skin. In addition, a lack of moisture and lipids gives the skin an older appearance. Years of UV damage and external influences such as stress and an unhealthy lifestyle can also accelerate skin ageing.

Which ingredients work well for mature skin?

• Squalane - Strengthens the skin's protective barrier, counteracts the formation of wrinkles, hydrates and softens the skin.
• Hyaluronic acid - Provides intense hydration and reduces the visibility of wrinkles.
• Vitamin C - Stimulates collagen production, protects against free radicals and brightens the complexion.
• Rosehip oil - Promotes the skin's elasticity.

Which skincare routine helps mature skin?

Use mild cleansing products and avoid products containing alcohol, dyes, fragrances and preservatives. Also use an anti-ageing serum with hyaluronic acid, and in winter a rich cream with urea and panthenol is the best choice. It is also important to use a sunscreen with vitamin E every day. Other ingredients that help care for mature skin are plant oils such as coconut, almond and olive oil.
