Skin care products that target specific age-related changes mean that amazing skin is no longer exclusive to the under 20s!
The secret of great skin is to respond to its everchanging needs. Each decade sees gradual changes in your skin’s appearance, from sun-induced fine lines and increased pore size in your 20’s, right through to the more obvious signs of ageing post-menopause. Some of these changes are due to lifestyle and the environment; others are just part of getting older, but all can be visibly improved with targeted treatments. The most effective formulas are age specific so that they can exactly match your skin’s requirements. The result? Your complexion will be protected, brightened and revitalised, whichever decade you’re at.
PROTECT
That gorgeous translucent tone and plumped, glossy complexion of your youth may be starting to fade, and you’re probably seeing your first fine lines. Safeguard your skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen and choose a light but deeply effective moisturiser like Chanel’s Precision Hydra Max+ Active Moisture Cream. If enlarged pores are an issue try Clinique’s Pore Minimizer on problem areas.
REJUVENATE
The natural ageing process and damage caused by lifestyle means that you could start to notice wrinkles near your eyes. Decléor’s Expression De L’Age – Relaxing Eye Cream Expression Lines Correction minimises their appearance and helps to keep the skin in this delicate area supple. La Prairie’s Advanced Marine Biology Cream has a highly effective formulation of fi ve marine elements and their exclusive Cellular Complex protects and moisturises the skin, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
REVIVE
Hormonal fluctuations coupled with further damage caused by environmental factors leads to loss of skin tone and deeper wrinkles. Intensive treatments such as Plante Systeme’s Extreme Lift Organic Cream and Dior’s Capture Total Serum contain a high concentration of active ingredients that help boost radiance and firm the skin. Regular use on the face and neck will deliver noticeable improvement.
RESTORE
Post menopause, skin tends to be less radiant and can be dry, with more expression lines and wrinkles. Un-even skin tone and age spots become more noticeable. Gentle cleansing and exfoliation will brighten and protect your skin, but it is intensive treatments such as Lancôme’s Absolut Cream and YSL’s Age Expert Age Defying Night Crème that will deliver the outstanding brightening, lifting and toning results that have not been available to previous generations of women.
