Regular hydration
In adulthood, as a result of changes in the hormonal background, impaired sub-regulation, and the destruction of the natural protective barrier, the epidermis becomes thinner and drier. And on dry skin, wrinkles appear much faster.
Cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides come to the rescue.
These substances help retain moisture in the skin. For maximum effect, apply such products on damp skin and “seal” with a greasy care cream.
Maintenance of the epidermal barrier
To prevent the evaporation of moisture and minimize the negative impact on the skin of environmental factors, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the hydrolipid barrier on the face. In order not to destroy it, you need to use a mild skin cleanser with a low or neutral pH level.
This cosmetic product does not foam and does not make the skin “squeaky”.
Water-based care products after the age of 45 should be replaced by creams based on oils or lamellar emulsion. They have a better effect on mature skin and effectively regenerate the protective barrier.
The use of retinoids and peptides
Retinoids, which are made on the basis of vitamin A, are one of the most important components of anti-aging cosmetics. They are needed to restore and renew the epidermis. An important nuance – you need to add them to the care gradually, otherwise, you can provoke dryness and peeling. Start with products with a low concentration of the ingredient, apply several times a week. If there are no negative consequences – gradually switch to daily use of such cosmetics.
Peptides increase the synthesis in the skin of collagen and elastin, necessary to maintain the density, elasticity, and resilience of the epidermis. In addition, peptides prevent the early appearance of wrinkles and supply the skin cells with essential nutrients.
Ultraviolet protection
In the premenopausal and menopausal periods, many women experience a sharp increase in the number of pigment spots. And most of them are the result of neglecting SPF protection. In addition, ultraviolet light destroys collagen and elastin in the skin, which is produced with age.
Therefore, before going outside, be sure to apply sunscreen on the face, neck, and décolleté.
To remove existing pigment spots, you can use an acid – for example, vitamin C. This substance illuminates and evens out the relief of the epidermis, as well as suppresses the destructive effects of free radicals.
Normalization of the hormonal background
Usually, in adulthood, it is necessary to take hormonal drugs. Usually, women who are experiencing menopause or menopause are prescribed systemic estrogen, one of the functions of which is to keep the skin in good condition.
But hormones should never be taken at will – only after consulting a doctor and the necessary examination.
