For mature skin tips
Skin and Hair and the Effects of Age
Time in the sun, smoking, diet, and heredity all have effects that become evident on your skin as you get older. Stress, gravity, and obesity also affect the way skin looks. And as you age, your skin doesn't produce new cells as quickly as it used to. So it gradually becomes less elastic and prone to dryness.
Something similar happens to cells that give your hair its color. Hair pigment cells become less efficient at renewing themselves, which makes hair gray.
Change your skin care products. Products that worked so well in our teens and 20s often may not be suitable in our 40s and 50s. Deodorant soaps, alcohol-based toners, and products that contain fragrance can leave mature skin feeling irritated and dry. People with mature skin often find that using mild, unscented products year round helps their skin feel better.
Wear sunscreen every day. Sunscreen does more than prevent sunburn. Daily use of sunscreen throughout your life can reduce signs of aging such as age spots and fine lines as well as significantly decrease your risk of developing skin cancer.
If your skin feels dry, moisturize. Oil production in the skin diminishes in our 40s, so it is important to moisturize if skin feels dry. The best time to moisturize is after bathing. If your skin still feels dry with regular moisturizing after bathing, apply moisturizer a few times throughout the day.
