Mature Skin

You may have been noticing the signs for a while: increased roughness, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation (coloration) or inelasticity. These are all normal changes in our skin as we age.

You may have enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands. Sometimes, precancerous and cancerous lesions can occur with aged and sun damaged skin. Sunscreens and sun protection are important to prevent further sun damage.

Your skin requires different skin care as you age. As we grow older, our skin doesn't produce new cells at the same pace. Environmental and biological factors take their toll. Often we develop enlarged pores, and the effects of the sun become evident in sunspots, freckles and wrinkles.

Recommended Daily Care: (twice daily, morning and night.).

Cleanse: Lightly lather Skin Resurfacing Cleanser in hands and apply to damp face and throat, avoiding the eye area. Massage with light upward strokes for at least 30 seconds. Rinse with warm water. Reduce to once a day if sensitivity develops or use Essential Cleansing Solution.

Hydrate: Spritz Antioxidant Hydromist directly onto face and neck to fight damaging free radicals and hydrate the skin. Also ideal as a refreshing spritz over makeup.

Moisturize: Apply a generous amount of Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30 to face and neck preferably 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. Use morning and night. .
