At 60, the skin is 'mature'. The signs of aging are well and truly established, but we can still feign a few years less by adopting the right reflexes and betting on the right assets. The advice of Laurence Netter, a dermatologist in Paris.
After that, the skin is no longer the same. The manufacture of sebum slows down and refines the skin, the natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin is exhausted, digging a little more wrinkles and accentuating the sagging skin, melanocytes are disrupted and give rise to brown spots everywhere on the face ... In short: the skin is aging and there is nothing we can do about it, or almost!
Which anti-wrinkle cream is most effective after 60 years?
At age 60, wrinkles are mainly related to sagging skin and loss of tone and firmness of the skin. It is therefore the sagging of tissues that must be combated as a priority, with active ingredients capable of boosting cell renewal and reviving the activity of fibroblasts, at the origin of the synthesis of collagen and elastin. "The king asset is retinol," explains Laurence Netter. It can be poorly tolerated at 40-50 years, but paradoxically, the older the skin, the better it supports it. At the age of 60, you can try again to apply it daily in the form of a serum. "If it passes, so much the better, and if it dries out, we put back a moisturizing cream right after," advises the expert. Other assets are particularly interesting at 60 years, "including Pro-Xylane and LR2412 which will make it possible to fight against the generalized loss of volume", quotes Laurence Netter.
How to have beautiful skin at 60 years old?
Protect yourself, again and again
"Two parameters are taken into account in skin aging: on the one hand, chronological aging and on the other hand, the exposome which corresponds to all environmental factors such as the sun, UV, tobacco, pollution ...", recalls dermatologist Laurence Netter. While it is difficult to go against the former, it is possible to ensure that the latter does not aggravate the situation. To do this, we continue to take precautions in the face of the sun and we adopt a lifestyle as healthy as possible
Keeping the right gestures
Besides that, we keep all the good reflexes acquired over the years.
We systematically remove makeup before going to bed, whether we have applied makeup during the day or not, "to rid our skin of all the intruders that are dead cells, bacteria, fine particles ...", explains the expert. If you use milk or a cleansing oil - more comfortable when you have mature skin - you always make sure to rinse your face with thermal water so as not to leave unnecessary fat.
To fill wrinkles, hydration remains essential! In the morning, we think of the serum, very concentrated in active ingredients, just before applying a moisturizer rich in hyaluronic acid on the entire face (even on the eye area if it is well-tolerated, otherwise we use a product specific to the lighter galenic). Laurence Netter adds that exfoliating your skin once or twice a week is necessary for it to regenerate more easily and regain a little radiance. In the evening, it's time for redensifying treatments with a retinol-based serum and a nourishing cream with a comforting texture.
The more you appreciate your cream, the longer you want to apply it! And that's good because at 60 years old, taking the time to apply your cream well has never been so important. To perfectly penetrate the active ingredients and stimulate the muscles, smoothing movements are made from the inside to the outside of the face, then pinches the skin with quick gestures without pulling too hard at the risk of disjoining the skin and muscle.
