5 Reasons Why Mature Skin Demands Extra Care

Did you know that by the age of 50, your skin may have lost up to 50% of its natural collagen?

Through the years of ageing gracefully, our skin undergoes profound changes that demand special attention. 

In this article, I'll delve into five crucial reasons why mature skin deserves and craves that extra level of care to maintain its radiant glow.

Combatting Collagen Decline:

Unveiling the secrets to youthful skin starts with understanding the battle against collagen decline. Let’s start with saying that this is something we can't control but we can definitely improve with the right steps. 

Collagen, the key protein responsible for skin firmness, diminishes naturally with age.

To counter this, integrating skincare products enriched with collagen-boosting ingredients becomes paramount. 

Bakuchiol is a natural science-backed solution that has the same effects as retinol but without the harsh side effects.

You can also try rosehip oil or hyaluronic acid-infused formulations to revitalise mature skin and restore its youthful elasticity.

You can find both of these ingredients in the Prebiotic Moisturising Cream. 

Hydration for Timeless Beauty:

Did you know that mature skin tends to be drier due to a reduced ability to retain moisture?

Hydration is the secret weapon to maintaining skin health, making a rich, nourishing moisturiser a must-have. 

Seek products containing ceramides and fatty acids to fortify the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss and promoting a vibrant, youthful complexion.

Prebiotic-infused skincare also deeply nourishes the skin, boosting the skin barrier and microbiome function, making it the perfect choice for mature skin. 

Shielding Against Sun Damage:

When we were younger, we didn’t think that much of the future damage we were doing when we exposed our skin to the sun without SPF.

Most of us were guilty of this at some point in our lives.

Sun exposure over the years can lead to age spots, hyperpigmentation, and loss of skin elasticity.

What you can do to protect your skin from further damage is incorporating a daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. 

You can try using the Antarctic Sun Defence which acts as a sunscreen, moisturiser and serum all in one product because of the potent ingredients it contains. 

It also protects the skin from blue light, which is just as damaging as UV rays. 

Erasing Fine Lines with Bakuchiol:

Did you know that Bakuchiol is a rising start in skincare and a total game-changer in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles? 

Bakuchiol works to stimulate collagen production and encourage cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

All this without the irritation associated with retinoids. 

Crafting a Personalised Skincare Regimen:

Every individual's skin is unique, and the needs of mature skin vary. Tailor your skincare routine to specific concerns by consulting with a dermatologist for personalised insights. 

Elevate your skincare game by incorporating skincare products that are potent but also gentle for 

Embracing a Holistic Approach to Self-Care:

Beyond skincare products, embracing a holistic approach to self-care can significantly impact the well-being of mature skin.

Adequate sleep, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and regular exercise contribute to overall skin health.

Adequate hydration from within can complement external moisturization, promoting a plump and radiant complexion.

Mindful Lifestyle Choices:

Incorporating mindfulness into your lifestyle can also positively influence the health of your skin.

Stress has been linked to premature ageing, so activities such as meditation, yoga, or other stress-reducing practices can contribute to maintaining youthful skin.

Remember, a serene mind reflects on a glowing face.

Understanding the needs of mature skin is crucial in addressing the struggles we all face when it comes to ageing skin.

By incorporating targeted products, committing to a personalised skincare regimen, embracing holistic self-care, and making mindful lifestyle choices, you can keep your skin glowing for longer, and shine with confidence.
