Why Mature Skin Needs Specialised Skincare

Following a regular regimen to ensure good healthy skin is essential to prevent the first signs of ageing. However, just like the body, the skin has varying nutritional needs at different stages of life.

During our younger years, skin concerns tend to veer towards managing oiliness and combating acne. Meanwhile, as we grow older, other skin concerns come to the surface such as dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, sagging and pigmentation.

This is because around the age of 30, the body’s collagen production slows down, resulting in less elasticity. Think of collagen as the support system of our skin; as it diminishes with age, the skin becomes looser, pores become larger and fine lines and wrinkles start appearing.

What’s more, if skincare wasn’t a priority early on, the effects of previous sun damage, poor diet and irregular skincare will start to show. The skin starts to lose its youthful glow and becomes thinner and drier. This is why it is essential to not only start proper skincare early but also to tweak and personalise your skincare routine according to your unique skin needs at every stage of life.

Choosing the right products according to your skin’s age

Just like each person’s story is borne from different experiences, our skin is also the product of our different lifestyles. So, everyone’s skin profile is unique to only them.

However, despite the uniqueness of our skin stories, certain age groups tend to share similar skin types and concerns. Younger skin is less likely to see wrinkles but more likely to have combination or oily skin. Mature skin from the ages of 35 and up will need active and proactive anti-ageing care to minimise signs of wrinkles and fine lines.

While a light lotion moisturiser may be preferable for younger skin prone to oiliness, drier mature skin benefits more from the extra hydration of a rich, creamy moisturiser with skin-repairing ingredients.

Skincare products for younger skin often include more basic ingredients compared to products for mature skin, which requires advanced formulas and technology in order to address anti-ageing needs.

While creams are more viscous and can provide a heavier barrier for keeping skin hydrated and supple, it is worth noting that this is not the only way to lock in moisture. Equally ideal for mature skin are instantly absorbed gel creams as well as cream with advanced penetration technology.

Apart from hydration, it is also important for mature skin to be treated with products that can repair and renew the skin. That’s why choosing the right skincare according to your skin’s age is important.
