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.
