As you enter a new phase of your life, you will realize your body has different needs than it did a decade ago. What changes do you need to make to your skincare routine as you age to help it go as smoothly as possible? Some skincare professionals weighed in on what you should consider to help your skin during your golden years. Keep reading to find out how to age as gracefully as possible.
Fortify Your Body with Proper Nutrients
Take a selection of collagen supplements and collagen-rich delicacies such as bone broth, to enhance skin elasticity and promote vitality from within. We recommend skincare products featuring key ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C (exceeding 20% concentration), retinoids, and peptides. These formulations aim to stimulate collagen production, combat free radicals, and preserve your skin’s health.
A Youthful Complexion With Vitamins, Collagen, and Moisturizers
Vitamin A can help you achieve a more youthful complexion by boosting collagen production and improving the texture of your skin. Vitamin C products may also be helpful to brighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Also, use products that help increase collagen production by focusing on the areas under your eyes.
Moisturizing your skin and ensuring it stays plump and hydrated should be your biggest skincare concern. You can switch out lightweight moisturizers for heavier creams that help keep the skin plump and fresh.
In addition, it is a good idea to continue using products with retinoids to fight off the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

A Holistic Approach
Your skincare routine is not just about the products you use as you age, it is also about getting enough sleep, eating well, hydration, taking your supplements, and proper exercise. Aging skin tends to lean on the dry side so use an appropriate moisturizer and don't forget the daily sunscreen use. Consider doing regular aesthetic treatments if you haven't already, such as facials or laser treatment for enhanced skin cell renewal and hydration.
