Mature skin – step by step care

With age, the skin becomes more sensitive to a variety of external factors, and its ability to regenerate is weakened. In this article, we will discuss what characterizes mature skin, the main causes of aging, as well as how to properly care for its condition to best meet its unique needs.

Mature skin – causes and characteristics

Mature skin is skin that has gone through a long-term aging process, both internal (biological) and external (environmental factors). As time passed, it lost its elasticity, density and hydration, and wrinkles, furrows and loss of firmness became more and more visible.

Features of mature skin

• Reduction in collagen and elastin production – as we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to a loss of elasticity, which in turn manifests itself in the form of wrinkles and sagging.
• Increased dryness of the skin – Reduced sebum production makes the skin drier and more prone to irritation.
• Increase in the visibility of hyperpigmentation – Mature skin is more likely to struggle with pigmentation spots, which appear as a result of prolonged exposure to UV radiation and hormonal changes.
• Decreased cellular regeneration – The skin renewal process slows down, so the skin can look gray and tired.
• Increased sensitivity – Mature skin may be more sensitive to external factors such as temperature changes or aggressive skin care.

Causes of skin aging

• Natural phenomena – as we age, our skin undergoes a natural aging process that is related to genetics and physiology of the body.
• UV radiation – overexposure to the sun without adequate protection contributes to photoaging, or damage to the skin's structure. Its effects include wrinkles, loss of firmness and discoloration.
• Environmental pollution – polluted air, cigarette smoke and other irritants accelerate the skin aging process.
• Hormonal changes – after 30. year of age, the skin begins to produce less hormones, which reduces its elasticity and skin density.
• Lifestyle – inadequate diet, lack of sleep, stress, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption significantly accelerate the aging process.

Basics of mature skin care

Mature skin care should be comprehensive, well thought out and, above all, should meet its growing needs. Here is an effective skin care plan that will help you maintain a healthy, radiant appearance for longer.
