Mature Skin - Some Tips to Combat with Mature Skin

As we grow older, we see and feel certain changes in our skin, which is the body's largest and most visible organ. A mature skin is generally tends to be dry and has the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A mature skin becomes more wrinkled, and spots and growths appear. And after an injury, the mature skin tends to heal more slowly. One of the most significant changes of the skin as we age is increased dryness.

A mature skin needs proper skin care which should include all essential things like - mild cleansing and rich moisturisation. This can be attributed to a reduction in the water content of the uppermost layer of the skin, a decrease in intercellular lipids, and a decreasein sebum secretion, all of which are needed for skin to stay soft, supple and smooth.

For cleansing, it is recommended to use mild superfatted soaps or soap-free cleansers for the body. It is essential to choose a suitable moisturizing cream for use on the facial skin. The use of a moisturizing cream on the body skin can be useful, especially in winter when mature skin tends to be drier. Modern shower products contain moisturizers as well as cleansers. It is however best to avoid long scalding soaks, as well as harsh soaps and bath foams if the skin is sensitive as this combination disrupts its barrier function.

As skin ages, collagen and elastin, fibers that keep the skin firm, weaken. The skin looks loose and lax, becomes thinner, and loses fat, so that it looks less plump and smooth. While all these changes are taking place, gravity is also at work, pulling at the skin and causing it to sag. The sun is one of the major cause of unwanted changes that usually occur in our skin with aging. How wrinkled your skin becomes depends largely on how much sun you have been exposed to in your lifetime. Wrinkles also depend on your parents - the tendency to wrinkle is inherited.

mature skins need to replenish low moisture reserves to address the signs of visible ageing. Replenishing the loss of sebum on the skins surface with equalising ingredients will aid hydration, supplementing dryness. Combined with regular massage, aromatherapy massage will keep your skin in tip top shape.

Some of the Other Things that Happen with Aging, i.e which can be seen in Mature skin are:

  • Complexion has a tendency to be dull and superficially dehydrated.
  • Irregular patches of pigmentation.
  • Lines are becoming deeper and more obvious around eyes, forehead, and top lip.
  • Skin appears looser around the chin and under the eyes.
  • Aging begins to show around the late 20's to early 30's.
  • A natural sun block should be worn daily, as UV rays are a major contributor to aging skin.

To Combat with Mature Skin, i.e to avoid the above things to happen with you, you must:

Drink lots of water to clean your body of toxins and keep your skin hydrated from the inside.

Start with apricot kernel oil and wheatgerm oil, mix in some rich, creamy avocado oil, and for the ultimate skin serum, add a touch of EPO. Vitamin A laden apricot kernel oil mixed with the natural anti-oxidant Vitamin E from the wheatgerm oil, makes a very potent blend for reducing the signs of dry and mature skin.

Protect your skin from wind and harsh environment as they make skin prone to infections.

Evening Primrose Oil is an excellent addition to your base oil for mature, ageing skin. It's rich moisturising properties make it outstanding for dry skin, as it is rich in GLA, vitamins and minerals. Break 1-2 capsules into your base oil for a skin boost!
