The Best Skincare Routine For Woman Over 60

Age Beautifully,
Naturally

As we reach our 60s, its production of lipids that maintain a strong, healthy skin barrier decreases. This reduces the skin's ability to retain moisture, making it more prone to dryness and dehydration, which can lead to tightness, fine lines, irritation, and pigmentation concerns.

A face cream specifically formulated for mature skin becomes crucial to address these needs. Lipids play a crucial role in anti-aging, and seeking out moisturisers that are lipid-based are vital to restoring youthful healthy skin.

Why your moisturiser isn't working?

The primary challenge with face creams today is the prevalence of highly synthetic, water-based formulations. While these products offer hydration, they lack essential lipids—like ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol—that are critical for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. These lipids play a vital role in repairing, restoring, and protecting the skin, especially for skin over 60.

The best face moisturizer for women over 60 needs to offer more than just hydration; it must include these essential lipids. As we age, the skin’s lipid production decreases, making rich, nourishing formulations that combine hydration and lipids a necessity. Hydration alone isn't enough to restore dry, aging skin to a radiant glow—the missing element is lipids.

Five Vital Features to Seek in Moisturizers for Mature, Dry Skin

According to a study conducted by the Journal of Dermatological Treatment⁽¹⁾, the best moisturizers for dry aging skin should include 5 important features

Humectants

Low Molecular Weight

Humectants attract moisture to the skin, making them essential ingredients in skincare formulations, particularly for mature skin. Ingredients like Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate can penetrate the skin barrier, helping to bind water to the deeper layers of the skin, ensuring long-lasting hydration.

Lipid-Based Emollients

Natural Botanical Oils

Emollients safeguard the skin and help retain moisture. Natural emollients like Jojoba, Rosehip, and Almond Oil offer additional advantages over synthetic alternatives because they are packed with fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, all of which are vital for overall skin health. Our focus is on creating high-quality lipid-based moisturizers.

Lipids

Ceramides, Fatty Acids & Cholesterol

Ceramides are key to anti-aging. As we age, the skins natural production of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids decreases, weakening the skin barrier and causing moisture loss. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and rougher texture. Replenishing lost lipids through skincare helps restore a youthful appearance.

Soothing Agents

Calm Irritation and Inflamation

Mature skin, often prone to dryness and sensitivity, requires calming and soothing ingredients to reduce redness and inflammation. Incorporating actives or botanicals that provide these benefits is crucial for easing irritation and promoting skin barrier repair. By soothing the skin you alleviate inflamation, and irritation so the skin stays healthy, comfortable, and resilient.

Skin Renewal Properties

Enhances Cellular Renewal

Actives that stimulate and support the skin's natural cellular renewal process, revealing fresher, healthier, and more youthful skin. By accelerating the turnover of dead skin cells, these ingredients help improve skin texture, diminish fine lines, and promote a radiant complexion. Regular use encourages a revitalized appearance, allowing newer, more vibrant skin to emerge while enhancing overall skin health and smoothness.

You have nailed it for this 60 something year old

I have been going to email for a while but wanted to convince myself that i was not just imagining how great my skin is looking. I am very cynical about all the different claims out there about skin care products - particularly anti-ageing claims. Although to tell you the truth I haven’t given many of them a chance - usually a “cleanse in the shower and throw on some random moisturiser” kind of person.

However, as the last 6 weeks or so of using your products daily has progressed, I have become convinced they are making a significant difference to my skin. In the last week in particular everyone keeps telling me how well I am looking - I have age spots and was getting increasing redness from my blood cancer as well as just generally tired looking skin. Definite reduction on all counts.

I am really enjoying using them as well which is a bit odd for me as I have never been into the ritual of the varied products- they are so beautifully designed and the smell is perfect. I am using them exactly as you suggested below.

Congratulations! You have nailed it for this 60 something year old.
