Here are some tips:
1 – Hydration
With age, the dermis tends to lose moisture and becomes more prone to dryness, which can cause irritation, flaking, and consequently less elasticity. To improve this, it’s ideal to invest in facial moisturizers.
2 – Water
Taking care of yourself from the inside out is also essential. Drinking water and consuming healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, which are great antioxidants, help with health and beauty.
3 – Exfoliation
Including exfoliation in your beauty routine is crucial. This cleansing step promotes skin renewal by removing dead cells and stimulating the production of new cells, meaning more collagen.
Choose an exfoliant according to your skin type and use it once a week. For dry skin, opt for a creamy textured product that also provides hydration. For oily skin, a gel formula is ideal, as it cleanses and helps control sebum production.
4 – Sun Protection
Whether outside or indoors, sunscreen is an essential part of daily skincare. It’s a must-have in your routine, as it’s the greatest ally against aging. When choosing yours, always go for formulas with higher SPF.
5 – Vitamin C
Acne scars, pigmentation, and dark spots are also common signs of aging. The use of serums with vitamin C can be a great ally for these issues.
6 – Retinol
With powerful benefits for cell renewal, increased collagen, and elastin, retinol reduces wrinkles and fine lines, acting as an anti-aging agent that also combats problems related to acne and pigmentation.
7 – Eye Area Care
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are some of the first signs of aging. Hydrating this area, which is one of the most sensitive on the face, with specific products helps mitigate the effects of aging.
Your skincare routine should not stop at night. Before going to bed, it’s important to wash your face with a facial cleanser to remove all the impurities of the day and then apply a night cream suitable for your skin type. This step also provides hydration and leaves your skin soft and glowing.
