Nurturing Mature Skin: A Daily Routine for Lasting Radiance
Share
Mature skin requires special care and treatment as it undergoes natural changes over time. The main focus is hydration, gentle products, and maintaining a healthy complexion.
Mature skin refers to a type of skin that has aged and undergone many changes throughout the years. It is known to experience a decrease in collagen and elasticity, leading to a thin texture, fine lines, dryness, and wrinkles. This type of saggy has lost its soft texture. Some people's skin shows signs of aging earlier, while others exhibit them later.
Mature skin usually develops in people as they age, typically starting in their 40s or 50s, although it can vary for everyone and happen before or after these particular age groups. Age is not the only factor that affects the maturity of the skin, as factors like lifestyle, genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes play a large role in when the skin begins to mature. Sun exposure is a significant factor as UV rays break down collagen and increase wrinkles and pigmentation. Additionally, poor lifestyle choices also factor in, such as poor diet, lack of sleep, smoking, and more. Hormonal changes can reduce the skin's moisture levels as well as its thickness, making the skin thin and rough.
However, matured or maturing skin can be taken care of or reduced, although it is important to let its aging process remain natural enough. To care for maturing skin, it is important to focus on the hydration and nourishment of the skin. Products like sunscreen play a crucial part in helping moisturize and freshen up matured skin, as it helps protect it from UV rays. This is why we recommend BBA’s Sun's-Out Sunscreen. It is important to apply retinol to boost collagen production, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles. A product for this would be SH Retinol Night Serum. It also helps to use a face mask, like BBA’s Hyaluronic Acid(HA) Face-Clay Mask, which can do wonders just by being left on the skin for 10-15 minutes.
To have a more concise layout of what to do, here is a routine for matured/maturing skin:
Cleanser: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser like BBA’s 24K Gold & Roses Deep Cleanser, to remove impurities without stripping the skin's moisture.
Toner: Toner is optional, although using a specific toner for your skin can help prep it to absorb other products better. We recommend BBA’s Hyaluronic Acid-Toner. After cleansing, moisten a cotton pad with the toner and apply it to the face and neck using upward movements, avoiding the eye area.
Serum: As mentioned above, it is important to use specific serums, which can help brighten the skin or ones that contain retinol in them, like BBA’s SH Retinol Night Serum. Introduce this serum gradually into your skincare routine, starting with once a week, to get your skin familiar with the retinol, gradually increasing usage to 2-3 times a week. It is important to note that the Hyaluronic Acid - Face Moisturizing Serum, goes well with the retinol night serum.
Sunscreen: Apply a broad spectrum SPF 30 to protect from UV rays, which can accelerate aging. A good example can be BBA’s Sun's-Out Sunscreen.
Face Masks: As mentioned before, it is helpful to do face masks that can hydrate the skin within a few minutes, like BBA’s Hyaluronic Acid(HA) Face-Clay Mask.
Diet and Hydration: In addition to the skincare routine, it is also important to assist the skin by providing it with a proper diet and drinking plenty of water to keep it hydrated and fresh throughout the day.
In conclusion, incorporating the right skincare routine for your skincare routine can make a significant difference in maintaining your health. By focusing on hydration and protection, you can effectively change the fast-growing pace of your skin aging but still maintain its natural progress.
