10 Skin Care Rules for Mature Skin

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #2: ADD RETINOL INTO YOUR ROUTINE

Fine lines, wrinkles and texture are extremely common in mature skin. In order to improve the appearance of these nuisances, it’s key to use products that are working to resurface the skin. This is where retinol comes into play. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, stimulates cell turnover, thus aiding in resurfacing the skin and creating a more smooth, youthful appearance. Dermatologists recommend using a pure retinol because it’s proven to work faster at smoothing the skin. L’Oreal Paris Night Serum, 0.3% Pure Retinol can be used twice weekly under moisturizer to improve the appearance of dull skin through exfoliation and aid in preventing wrinkles.

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #3: ILLUMINATE THE LOOK OF YOUR SKIN WITH SERUM

As you age, the look of skin’s radiance can decrease. Serums can aid in making the skin look more radiant because they have hydrating and brightening ingredients. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Golden Serum is formulated with golden micro-reflectors to help illuminate the look of your complexion. Instantly, skin feels softer and appears refreshed. Apply this non-greasy, lightweight serum onto cleansed skin morning and night.

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #4: DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR EYES

As you age, your eye area can lose the look of vitality. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Eye Renewal Eye Cream helps hydrate the eye area immediately and diminish the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags, and crow’s feet with continued use over time. After applying serum, use your fingertips and delicately apply a small amount of eye cream around your entire eye area. 

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #5: CONCEAL DARK CIRCLES AND UNDER-EYE BAGS

Your eyes are usually the first spot to show signs of aging so masking your dark circles and under-eye bags is a must. To keep your skin looking as youthful and radiant as possible, adding a concealer into the mix—in combination with your eye cream—can help with that. Gently pat the L’Oreal Eye Cream in a Concealer, 0.5% hyaluronic acid under the eyes for dark circle correction and an extra layer of hydration. This lightweight concealer not only provides brightening coverage, but it’s packed with hydrating skincare ingredients too.

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #6: WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY

We can’t stress enough how important it is to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Spending prolonged periods of time in the sun without applying sunscreen can lead to visible signs of aging developing over time. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), applying an SPF of 30 or higher daily is essential as well as reapplying immediately after swimming or sweating. Incorporating a daily moisturizer with SPF into your routine is a great way to ensure that you’re always protected. The L’Oreal Rosy Tone Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen not only revives the skin and provides essential hydration, but it also protects against sun damage.

MATURE SKIN CARE RULE #7: USE A HYDRATING FOUNDATION

We said before, as the skin matures, it tends to become drier, making it a good idea to stick to foundations with hydrating formulas. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Makeup Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50 helps to keep skin hydrated and provides natural-looking, even coverage that won’t settle into lines. Best of all, it also provides broad-spectrum sun protection. Call it a win-win! Gently buff the foundation on the skin with a soft sponge. We love the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender.
