Many women after 50 years continue to care for their skin the same way they did when they were 20-30, and are surprised at the poor results. Meanwhile, aging skin needs a different approach. And the first thing you need to do is review your daily rituals.
It turns out that there are things that speed up the aging process significantly. Here are the main “thieves” of youth:
Water too hot. A hot shower washes away the protective lipid layer, the skin becomes dry, itching and peeling appear. Switch to warm water as it will retain moisture in the skin.
Aggressive cleansing. Alcohol toners, soaps, scrubs with large particles – all this traumatizes thin skin. Choose soft foams and gels, and wash off eye makeup only with micellar water or hydrophilic oil. Never rub too hard.
Ignoring neck and hand care. The face may look young, but the skin underneath will always show age. Take care of these areas as carefully as you would your face.
Here's what to do:
Don't skimp on hydration: after 50, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture and needs outside help. Simply cream is no longer enough; it is important to include serums with active ingredients, nourishing masks and additional night care. Eye cream is not a whim of marketers, but a real necessity.
A little secret: once a week, do a “fasting day” – apply only moisturizing serum and let your skin “breathe”. This way you will stimulate your own recovery processes.
