Mature skin: how to do proper skincare to enhance ageless beauty
Having glowing, healthy and toned skin is an important aspect to feel good in your body, especially for mature skin. As the years go by, in fact, the needs of the skin change: collagen production decreases and skin cells regenerate more slowly, causing a loss of tone and elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and a dull complexion.
Contrary to popular belief, applying a simple anti-wrinkle face cream alone is not enough to prevent these effects. However, fortunately, it is possible to delay or minimize the effects of aging by adopting a healthy lifestyle, supported by a specific skincare routine for mature skin. This helps improve hydration and elasticity, reduce imperfections, and revive the complexion.
Let's find out together how to treat mature skin to keep it toned and healthy with a proper skincare routine for mature skin.
How do the first signs of skin aging manifest?
As we age, the skin begins to reveal the signs of time, an inevitable phenomenon that can vary widely depending on individual conditions and lifestyle choices.
Among the most noticeable changes of skin aging are wrinkles and expression lines, the result of the constant muscular activity of the face, which become more deeply imprinted where the skin is repeatedly strained.
However, there are other common manifestations, such as:
- The loss of elasticity and firmness, which leads to a relaxation of the skin tissues and a change in the facial contours, giving a less defined and more fatigued appearance.
- The appearance of discolorations, or alterations in skin tone, often showing up as spots caused by excessive UV exposure or hormonal imbalances typical of advanced age, making the complexion less uniform.
- A tendency towards increased dryness and sensitivity of the skin over time, producing less sebum and becoming more susceptible to external agents. This makes it more likely to react to environmental stimuli with redness or irritation, a clear sign of a skin barrier that has lost part of its original integrity.
Although these changes are largely age-driven, their degree and speed can be accelerated by external factors such as unprotected sun exposure, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor sleep habits.
How to treat mature skin with skincare products
Over the years, the skin's needs evolve and it is important to listen to what our body is asking us in order to give it what it needs.
Since mature skins is more sensitive, tend to dry out and shows signs of aging, it's essential to treat them with specific skincare products, such as moisturizing body creams and anti-wrinkle face creams that contain hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, retinol and antioxidants. These ingredients help reduce wrinkles, improve skin radiance and prevent damage caused by free radicals.
It is also important to use specific products for legs and eye contour area, which is particularly delicate and prone to blemishes and swelling.
In addition, for a truly effective beauty routine for mature skin, you should not forget to take care of the other parts of the body equally sensitive to the signs of aging, such as the décolleté, arms and neck.
For these areas, a tonic treatment such as the one offered by the Preziosa Il Tempio della Salute elasticizing cream may be indicated, which has a velvety texture, an enveloping scent and gives a pleasant sensation to the touch.
Its formulation is rich in proteins, vitamins and peptides that strengthen skin tissue and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. After application, the skin immediately becomes firmer, stimulated and strengthened and, with consistent use over time, its defensive capabilities also improve.
