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 from now on, to keep your skin looking beautiful as your birthdays go by.
Why is it important to adapt your skincare routine at age 50?
Every time there's a hormonal upheaval, the skin can change. Puberty, pregnancy... and menopause are all times when our skin needs to adapt.
At menopause, and especially in the peri-menopause period (2 to 7 years before menopause), skin aging accelerates. Skin becomes thinner. There are fewer collagen and elastin fibers, and they are less effective in supporting the skin. As a result, they have difficulty fulfilling their supporting role. This is one of the reasons why some people find their pores more visible at this time. These enlarged pores are not linked to overzealous sebaceous glands, but to a loss of firmness and sagging skin.
Dehydration is also accentuated by a loss of hyaluronic acid (the famous molecule in the dermis that acts like a sponge, retaining water). For some epidermis, the disappearance of female hormones leaves the way clear for male hormones to take over, so the skin may experience a spike in imperfections and pimples.
Other common problems: blood vessels can be damaged. It's often at this time that redness 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.
Finally, brown spots can also appear, a sign that deep down, certain melanocytes have lost their way.
To care for your skin, you can choose from the following skincare products:
-
Anti-ageing treatments to limit cell ageing
-
An anti-blemish cream in case of spillage
-
Soothing, anti-redness care for fragile vessels
-
Anti-spot treatments to even out skin tone.
Renewing anti-aging serums
Because the serum is THE cosmetic product that penetrates the furthest and has an ultra-high concentration of active ingredients, it's the skincare product not to be overlooked in your routine. With 40 active ingredients, the Rejuvenating Serum Sérum Rajeunissant contains all the antioxidants your skin needs to regain firmness, plumpness and radiance. And thanks to its anti-ageing complex, it smoothes the features and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, protects the skin from cutaneous ageing and boosts cell renewal, for skin that's full of vitality, more luminous and smoother.
And to (finally) switch to retinol, the night serum A+ High Dose Retinoid Sunday Riley is dosed with 6.5% retinoids to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, diminish blemishes and plump deep down. A super-powerful super-powerful night care that delivers truly stunning results on marked wrinkles.
