When it comes to skin aging, some signs are unmistakable! Dehydration, dull complexion, sagging… Focus on the signals not to ignore to keep skin young for as long as possible.
A loss of hydration
The finding
The skin is less comfortable than before, and fine lines appear on the face, especially on the forehead and the outer corner of the eye.
The cause
The weakened hydrolipidic film poorly retains the water contained in the skin. This barrier deteriorates under the effect of the many external aggressions that stalk the skin on a daily basis: the sun, climatic variations, pollution, tobacco, junk food, or even stress. It can also come from an unsuitable, too irritating beauty routine.
What we can do
Choose a cream adapted to your skin type, with active ingredients that moisturize (hyaluronic acid) and stop free radicals (antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, and A). Once you've got your hands on the right treatment, apply it daily to perfectly clean your skin. We also begin to systematically use a night cream after evening make-up removal to help the skin regenerate properly. Without forgetting to adopt a healthy lifestyle, which gives pride of place to balanced dishes and sports.
Partnership: Discover the Lancôme Génifique range
The Lancôme brand, a pioneer in anti-aging research, is innovating with a new formula for its iconic Advanced Génifique serum. It reactivates all the signs of youth in the face, from the elasticity of the skin to its radiance. A unique scientific breakthrough at the service of your skin!
A loss of radiance
The finding
The skin looks gray, it recovers less well after a restless night.
The cause
This is usually due to a lack of stimulation. Lack of energy skin is skin that does not produce enough lipids, that struggles to eliminate dead cells and that cannot regenerate properly: the complexion is, therefore, less even, and it has trouble regaining its radiance. Natural.
What we can do
Shake your skin to bring up the glow! A good habit to adopt is to systematically massage your face when you apply your cream. On the one hand, to better penetrate the active ingredients and on the other hand, to boost blood and lymphatic circulation. Smoothing, pinching, circular movements… All these gestures increase the blood flow which provides the skin with all the nutrients and oxygen it needs to radiate on a daily basis.
We also think of ridding the epidermis of all the impurities and dead cells that suffocate and dull it. To do this, take the time to thoroughly remove makeup from your skin each evening and do a gentle exfoliation or peeling with AHAs once a week.
As for active ingredients to favor: we put everything on vitamin C, the anti-dullness active ingredient par excellence!
A loss of elasticity
The observation
The skin seems less firm and less toned, and the cheekbones relax slowly but surely.
The cause
Around the age of 40, cell renewal runs out of steam. The fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen and elastin (two proteins that guarantee the firmness of the skin) show a drop in activity. Results ? The beautiful volumes of the face are blurred.
What we can do
Multiply actions. After a certain age, hydration alone is no longer enough. It is also necessary to stimulate and repair the skin by focusing on stronger active ingredients such as retinol. Massages and facial gymnastics exercises can also give a real boost. Easy to make at home, they help tone and shape the muscles, for naturally plumper skin.
