Skincare Tips for Senior’s Skincare Routines


If you’re in your 50’s and beyond, or even in your 40’s, the beauty and facial routines you used to do in your teens are no longer viable for your skin type. As you age your skin slowly loses its elasticity because the dermis can no longer produce as much collagen for the skin as it did when you were younger. Therefore, your new skincare routines have to focus on maintaining your aged skin and getting it to produce more collagen again.

 Use collagen creams with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid acts as a moisturizer for your skin to make it plumper, and plus the fact that highly moisturized skin increases collagen production even at an advanced age.

Don’t neglect the chest and neck
Sun damage isn’t limited to the face. The chest and neck are also affected and may even look older than your face if your skincare is only limited to facials. When applying collagen creams, anti-aging creams, sunscreens, and moisturizers to your face, do include your neck and chest as well. You neck and chest skin also badly needs antioxidants, vitamin C, sunscreen, and collagen to stay healthy. Check out CollagenGuide.net for more information.

Get rid of inflammation
Aging skin is prone to redness and irritation. This is due to the hormonal changes and excessive circulation. Collagen creams with anti-inflammatory derivatives can soothe the skin, or you can apply green tea extracts to the affected area.

Don’t neglect your lips, too
Many people don’t realize that as they age their lips also change. Using collagen cream with anti-wrinkle ingredients, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids around the mouth area is more than enough to do the trick. It also smooths the skin above and below the mouth area for greater looking lips.

Increase collagen production
Low collagen production means fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging begins to come out. Choose a collagen cream that contains ingredients that not only increases collagen production but will also destroy enzymes that are harmful to collagen. Antioxidants, vitamin E, and lycopene are such ingredients.

Do not ever use drying cleansers and bar soaps
As you age you might become allergic to these products. This is because it leaves the skin in need of hydration. Also, too dry skin will manufacture less collagen.

Make exfoliation part of your routine
Scrubbing and exfoliating the skin every other day will keep the skin cells healthy by removing the dead cells that are atop the skin.
