Over the years, the skin becomes dry, pigmentation spots appear and as a result - wrinkles become more noticeable. Fortunately, we can help our skin cope with these problems. Cosmetic products are pleasantly surprised by the spectrum of professional capabilities, adapted to the needs of the skin. The bet must be made on those who are primarily called upon to combat the main age-related changes.
These hormones have a direct effect on the skin condition. A huge number of estrogen receptors are on the face. No wonder that even a minimal reduction in their amount adversely affects the skin condition. As a rule, the greatest changes occur during the menopause. The fall in the level of estrogen in the body affects the decrease in the activity of the sebaceous glands, which leads to dry skin. The quantity of collagen fibers decreases (they are responsible for the elasticity of the skin), deep wrinkles and pigmentation appear, and the skin becomes flabby and dull. And this, unfortunately, is far from all the problems that we have to face in adulthood.
Daily Care
Here is the pledge of young and radiant skin! Even the best cream will not give positive results if you use it irregularly.
Peptides, or extracts from soya well moisturize, are powerful antioxidants. But that's not all! Due to their structure (similar to estrogens), these components can influence the corresponding receptors in the skin and significantly improve the production of collagen.
Light moisturizing creams have long been unsuitable for your skin. Now you need a more thorough care of your mature skin.
Retinol affects the regeneration processes in the skin. It restores skin cells, affects their division and regulates sebum secretion activity, melanin production and collagen synthesis. Its only drawback - it can cause irritation, so its amount in cosmetics should not exceed 0.01%.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid
It is an antioxidant, it brightens the skin, an indispensable component in the process of collagen production. Vitamin C is rapidly oxidized in pure form. Therefore, when choosing a cream, pay attention to the package (it should be sealed) and the concentration of the vitamin.
Mature skin needs moisture, so most creams for this type of skin contain hyaluronic acid, it has strong moisturizing properties.
AHA, or alpha hydroxy acids moisturize the skin, regulate exfoliation, smooth the surface of the skin and affect the production of collagen in it. That they began to operate, in a cream with a low level of pH they should contain 2%. Otherwise, they turn into salts and lose all their useful properties.
With age, the protective layer of lipids significantly decreases. As well as intercellular "cement" in the stratum corneum (fulfilling the function of the protective barrier). Replenishment of lipid stocks becomes a key task for proper functioning and a young type of skin. The most valuable element for the skin - NUHK (unsaturated fatty acids) for the care of mature skin of the face. They penetrate the horny layer of the skin and strengthen its structure. In creams they, as a rule, occur in the form of vegetable fats.
Low molecular weight peptides
Eyes, lips, neck - on these sites the skin is the thinnest, with the least amount of adipose tissue and sebaceous glands. Therefore, it is quickly dried, and wrinkles here are more noticeable compared to other sites. For tender skin, you should carefully look after your youth and pay special attention in adulthood. We advise you to buy quality cosmetics designed for the skin around the eyes, for the lips and neck, and regularly use it.
It should include all the components that we have described. Day cream should contain sunscreen filters. Day and night creams should include components that lighten the skin. The cream should have a light consistency.
We need lipids! The best remedy for mature skin is rich, nutritious creams. They strengthen the structure of the skin, protect and moisturize well.
In order for vitamins to act, it is important to take them regularly, according to the doctor's recommendations. The results will be noticed in a month!
