Back they have left absurd clichés to give way to strong personalities to which little or nothing matters what society wants to make of them. Women over 60 have opted to show off their gray hair and make their haircuts the most powerful style key.

Women over 60 are in one of the best stages of life and, although they claim their gray hair and wrinkles, they are aware of the importance of good facial care when it comes to showing off a radiant face. Especially now that we must reduce the effects of the pandemic on the skin. In addition, it is also important to follow a series of guidelines to maintain the good condition of the skin for much longer.
The skin is one of the parts of the body that begins to age before. According to dermatologists, in women, the skin begins to age between the ages of 25 and 30, much earlier than what you tend to think when the word mature is used. In addition to the genetics of each person and age, there are other external factors that can accelerate aging.
The most important is sun exposure, although there are others that also affect, such as air pollution and unhealthy habits such as smoking, a poor diet or staying up late, among others. All of them cause changes in the structure of the skin that can lead to certain lesions, many of them benign, but annoying or unsightly.
The dermatologist experts explain what changes the skin care undergoes until it reaches middle age. In this way, it will be easier to know when the time has come to adapt the facial routine to the new characteristics of the skin.
- Wrinkles and loss of firmness and elasticity. The combination of these three signs is one of the first signs that point the way to mature skin. Over time, the capacity for cell regeneration slows down and the production of collagen and elastin decreases, so the skin loses its natural grip and wrinkles become deeper and more marked.
- More pronounced loss of hydration. Another sign is the increase in dryness. The skin no longer retains hydration so easily, so tightness or even irritation of the facial skin is common.
- Thinner skin. The lower production of collagen not only causes less firm skin, but also that it becomes thinner. Subcutaneous fat in the lower layer of our skin is also reduced, as well as the size of the skin papillae, affecting the thickness of its structure.
- Stains. They tend to appear more in areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, décolleté or on the hands and arms. They are more frequent in those people who have had a high exposure to the sun during their life. Even so, they can also suffer from younger people for other reasons, such as hormonal changes, or in the form of marks due to acne.
- Greater propensity for eczema and infections. Menopause accentuates all these signs of aging. Due to the reduction of sex hormones, the skin becomes drier and thinner and loses elasticity. This not only leads to the appearance of deeper wrinkles, looser tissues and thinner and more sensitive skin, but in extreme cases, it can also encourage the appearance of infections, eczema or lesions such as sebaceous hyperplasia’s, some small skin lumps.
Over the years we will all see these signs of age on our skin. However, a good skin care routine manages to delay them to maintain a smooth, firm and luminous skin for longer.
Skin experts explain what steps to follow to ensure that our skin care remains in good condition for many more years. Find out what are the beauty tricks that women over 60 (and also those of 20) should follow to have a young and radiant skin.
Here are few tips you should consider to get flawless skin. Have a look!
Skin Hydration
Mature skin needs much deeper skin hydration. Each type of skin needs different care. But they all agree on the same thing: deep hydration. As the years go by, it is important to provide the skin with the hydration that it can no longer maintain on its own, so it will be necessary to insist a little more and use more hydrating skin care products.
With the arrival of menopause, it is necessary to further intensify skin care, and not only on the face, but throughout the body, using gels or mild soaps that do not affect its natural lipid layer and also replenishing the progressive deficiency of natural components of the skin through moisturizing products specifically developed to reinforce the intensive hydration of mature skin.
Drink Enough Water
Water intake is the main source of hydration for our skin. Each person needs a different amount of water to stay hydrated. It is not the same to live in a dry climate than in a cold and humid one.
Weight and the amount of physical activity also play a role. In any case, the best advice is to drink water every time we are thirsty and that the daily average is around two liters.
It can also be in the form of infusions, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables also contributes to this need for skin care.
Wear Sunscreen All Year
Exposure to the sun is one of the factors that most ages the skin, that is why sun protection must be used all year round.
Sun exposure is one of the factors that most influences premature aging. To prevent this photo aging from affecting the skin, it is essential to use sunscreen in every day skin care routine be it summer or winter, on sunny or cloudy days.
Facial Exfoliation
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells.
Exfoliating the face with some frequency is a necessary step to renew the skin.

We must avoid bad habits such as tobacco, alcohol, a poor diet without antioxidant nutrients or not getting enough sleep.
Both toxins and other bad habits increase free radicals that make us age, and that is why antioxidants (both for the body in general and for the skin) are so important to counteract these effects.
Fight The Effects of Pollution & Keep Skin Clean
Contamination or the use of a mask make the skin not breathe, that is why a good facial cleansing is very important. Pollution also greatly accelerates many of the changes that mature skin undergoes. For example, long exposure to pollution causes free radicals that accelerate skin aging, thus promoting the appearance of wrinkles, sagging and sagging of the skin in certain areas of the face.
In addition, it reduces antioxidants, which worsens tolerance to sunlight and therefore causes skin blemishes. And, of course, it causes impurities to accumulate in the pores and the skin does not breathe.
Thus, a good daily skin care cleansing will help eliminate all the residues left by pollution and supplementing the cosmetic routine with antioxidant ingredients will keep the signs of aging at bay for longer.
Exercise

Sport has many benefits for the skin. The first one is that thanks to a greater supply of oxygen, it slows down the appearance of wrinkles and skin deterioration.
