The older the skin, the harder it is to care for it. In order to look luxurious after 50, it is worth taking care of complex measures.
Before choosing a face cream, you need to know about the features of mature skin, which components must be present in the product, and which components should be avoided. The right choice of cream will provide a good result, which will allow you to look much younger and healthier.
Skin features after 50 years
After 50 years, there comes a period when the effects of lifestyle, which was conducted in youth, are reflected on the skin. Bad habits, unbalanced diet, sudden weight changes, chronic diseases, and others overlap each other. The main reason is aging, which is an inevitable process in the life of every person.
Aging of the skin can not be avoided, however, providing the right care and nutrition, you can pause the biological clock and stay healthy and beautiful as long as possible.
Main causes of skin wilting after 50 years:
- Menopause. This is a difficult period for a woman, since the processes important for the body are slowed down. The rate of cell regeneration decreases, reparative and healing functions are disturbed, the level of acidity changes, the amount of moisture in the body and the share of subcutaneous fat decrease. In connection with these changes, the tissues become less elastic, pronounced folds and deep wrinkles appear. The body is not able to recover completely independently, so it needs comprehensive help that will fight the signs of aging;
- Reducing the amount of collagen and elastin in the body. After 30 years, the human body loses 1% of collagen per year. Gradually, the dermis loses its density, becomes more flabby and sagging. A double chin, obvious wrinkles and bags around the eyes, a lowered eyelid, and deep wrinkles appear;
- Ultra-violet rays. Every day under the influence of the sun, we expose the skin to a negative effect. Under the influence of the sun, the epidermis thickens, cell formation slows down, pigment spots appear, the skin ages;
- Toxins. Due to the accumulation of various poisons in the body that we receive from the outside, the skin loses its immunity, looks older than its age and deteriorates the complexion,
- Insufficient hydration. The amount of moisture in the body - a decisive factor in the youth of the dermis. If there is a lack of it, then the skin is deposited on the skin first.
Signs of aging that appear on mature skin:
- Wrinkles on the frontal area;
- In the area of the eyes: deep facial wrinkles, dark circles, bags, crow's feet, lowering of the upper eyelids;
- Strong nasolabial folds;
- Increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- Changing the contour of the face and neck;
- Hair growth at the lips, chin and neck.
The fight against these signs of aging should be waged with complex methods. Only regular use of anti-aging products will lead to long-lasting results and visually reduce age.
Recommended Creams
Speaking about the care of age-related skin, it is necessary to mention that after fifty, preference is given to creams and other means that will clean, moisturize, restore, nourish and tighten the skin. You can choose a cream that will perform several functions at the same time and, at the same time, save time and money.
The ideal skin fading cream should consist of the following components:
- Antioxidants. These substances fight the effects of free radicals, which bring the appearance of wrinkles. Retinol and coenzyme increase the protective properties of the epidermis and stimulate the natural processes of skin renewal.
- Glycerin, hyaluronic acid. They trap moisture in the skin, making it more elastic and filled. With age, the production of these components slows down and needs to be replenished with the help of cosmetics.
- Panthenol. Vitamin B5 improves cell metabolism, reduces inflammation of the skin, moisturizes, restores the collagen content, reduces the amount of peeling.
- Peptide complexes. Amino acid residues can strengthen the walls of capillaries and improve blood circulation.
- SPH filters. The skin must be protected from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the skin, so the presence of the SPH factor makes any cream indispensable;
- Ceramides. This is a type of fat that is necessary for the lipid layer of the dermis. The lack of ceramides leads to dryness, dehydration and the occurrence of inflammation. The shortage of substance in the skin must be filled with cosmetics;
- Extracts of medicinal plants, essential oils. Vitamins and minerals derived from plants are necessary for any skin type, and especially for balzac age;
- Extracts from algae. They provide regeneration of skin cells, improve blood supply and regulate the acid-base balance. Algae provide a noticeable lifting effect, since they remove toxins and speed up the metabolism.
