As we age the needs of our skin change. While we would love to be able to hold on to our youthful appearance it becomes obvious that good skin takes work and requires daily maintenance.
Taking care of yourself is one way to keep your skin feeling and looking great. Eating well, getting lots of sleep and being happy in ourselves all contribute to your skin’s well being.
Along with these basics it’s also important to create a good skincare regime that you can maintain each day to help your skin look fabulous for years to come.
What are the primary characteristics of mature skin?
- It loses its firmness because the skin loses both collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for making our skin firm, plump and wrinkle-free. These also give the skin its strength and stretchability.
- It may start to sag, stretch and tear more easily.
- It may also start to appear rough and dull as a result of the mature’s skin diminished ability to regenerate.
- It becomes more transparent and fragile and bruises can easily show as a result of thinning blood vessels and flattening epidermis.
- Facial skin may start to loosen and appear more sunken. This can particularly affect the skin around the mouth, nose and ears as bone or cartilage starts to loosen .
- You may experience loss of natural moisture because sweat and oil glands start to deplete.
