The ideal routine for skin care after 50

Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing... You like to give your skin attention, every day. But it's true that as you approach 50, a few extra habits can really make a difference. Here, Oh My Cream reveals the right gestures to adopt right now, to keep your skin looking beautiful as menopause approaches.

Why adapt your skincare routine at 50?

As we enter our fifties, our skin undergoes significant changes, accentuated by the menopause. Not only its texture, elasticity and vitality , but also its structure and appearance are impacted by the natural slowdown in cellular and cutaneous functions, hormonal variations and environmental factors. Collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid fibers are fewer in number, of poorer quality, and have difficulty fulfilling their supportive role. Skin loses elasticity and firmness, becomes thinner and more marked by expression lines around the forehead, eyes and mouth, and facial contours become less defined. 

Dehydration is also accentuated by a loss of hyaluronic acid (the famous molecule present in the dermis which acts like a sponge, retaining water), as well as a reduction in sebum production. This weakens the cutaneous barrier, leaving the skin less able to retain moisture, drier, more fragile and more prone to irritation. Other common problems: blood vessels can be damaged. It's often at this time that redness, inflammation or hypersensitivity appear, even couperose or rosacea. If this applies to you, our anti-redness skincare and make-up tips or our anti-redness guide can help.

How to look after your skin from the age of 50? 

All these natural changes mean that we need to adapt our daily routine and adopt specific care products focusing on hydration and nutrition to limit the impact of cellular aging, soothe and even out the skin, while restoring the cutaneous barrier. To care for your skin, you can choose from the following skincare products: 

The right gestures and routines to adopt as menopause approaches 

Moisturize your skin after double cleansing

A dull complexion, drier, rougher skin and increased sensitivities... As mentioned above, from the age of 50 onwards, hormonal imbalances, sebum secretion and the natural decline in hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, favor dehydration. It is therefore essential to nourish and moisturize the skin with gentle formulas.

The solution? Restore skin's comfort and suppleness right after double cleansing with a creamy duo: theCleansing Oil and theCleansing Emulsion Oh My Cream Skincare.

 

Create a protective shield and stimulate the skin

To reconstitute a shield, nourish and protect your skin, adopt a hyper-experienced moisturizing cream such as Crème Riche Redensifiante Suprême Patyka. Enriched with a Matrisome Age complex and plant retinol-like, it helps boost collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid synthesis by stimulating fibroblasts. Designed to counter all the effects of menopause on the skin, it smoothes, lifts and redensifies the skin, and also targets dark spots and lack of radiance, while intensely moisturizing. 

And because skin regeneration is at its peak during the night, we opt for the night care from the same range: Baume Nuit Revitalisant Suitême. Baume Nuit Revitalisant Suprême Patyka

Reduce wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes

In case of dry or dehydrated skin on the face, give extra attention to the eye and lip contours. eye and lip contoursfragile areas where the skin is particularly thin. Visit Baume Lift Regard Suprême Patyka is perfect for this. With its melting texture, this eye balm instantly brings comfort to the eye contour area, while preventing and reducing puffiness, signs of ageing and signs of fatigue, and lifting and smoothing the eyes. 

Prevent volume and density loss

To prevent the loss of volume and density that occurs as early as age 50, we rely on a serum capable of restoring the skin's structure and quality. The Intense Revolumizing Bi-Serum Patyka 's Intense Revolumizing Bi-Serum is formulated with plant collagen-like and plant retinol-like. It helps improve skin firmness and elasticity .

Targeting blemishes and imperfections

What's more, the sun exposure accumulated over the years leads to an overproduction of melanin , causing brown spots to appear or worsen, mainly on the face, hands and décolleté. In this case, opt for PowerBright Dark Spot Anti-Spot Serum Anti-Spot Serum. This powerful serum rapidly reduces the appearance of dark spots by inhibiting melanin and reducing the intensity of pigmented areas, while preventing spots from appearing in the first place.

For some skin types, menopause is synonymous with a spike in imperfections and pimples. As soon as a pimple appears, we strike back withAge Bright Clearing Anti-Imperfections Serum Dermalogica, a purifying treatment that reduces the appearance of small scars. And if you find yourself having to deal with pimples on a regular basis, don't hesitate to take a look at our various anti-imperfection routines!  

Switching to retinol

Anti-aging active ingredient par excellence, retinol offers stunning results on cell renewal, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation spots, skin radiance and imperfections. The ultra-concentrated retinoid serum A+ High Dose Retinoid Sunday Riley is dosed with 6.5% retinoids to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce blemishes and plump deep down. Apply once or twice a week to clean skin in the evening, and don't forget your sun protection the next day! 

To take your anti-aging routine a step further

We add an intelligent body cream that moisturizes and prevents loss of firmness, like theEGF Body Serum Intensif BioEffect. This powerful body serum, enriched with hyaluronic acid and EGF, deeply moisturizes and restores elasticity and firmness , while visibly diminishing stretch marks and fine lines.
