CIRCA 1970 gives amazing results on mature skin because it’s packed with antioxidants and nutrient-rich essential oils that heal, hydrate, calm and soothe the skin. Vitamins A, E and C have long been recognized as key antioxidants to combat premature aging both inside and outside of our skin. As a result of oxidative stress, (the free radicals that fly around that we face every day from airborne pollutants and irritants) our skin requires anti-oxidant barriers to prevent inflammation, hyperpigmentation and sun damage. As I said above, aging is part of life but if we use the proper products that help us with keeping our skin healthy to minimize the normal loss of elasticity, oil production and collagen we can age gracefully and at a slower pace. Making sure to keep your skin moisturized alone can improve the appearance of your skin. It will plump the skin, making lines and wrinkles less visible.

What is mature skin?

Every person has their own unique skin. Mature skin refers to skin that has naturally aged over time, usually in individuals starting 40 years old. We all age, that’s inevitable, but we need to truly understand that mature skin isn’t a skin type but a skin condition with characteristics such as loss of elasticity where skin becoming less firm and loses its elasticity due to the breakdown of collagen. Wrinkles and fine lines appear around areas such as the eyes, mouth and forehead. Mature skin often produces less sebum, your skin’s natural oil, which leads to dryness and decrease in your skin’s natural barrier. We can start seeing age spots appear , pigmentation and uneven skin tone because of prolonged exposure to UV rays but also because of hormonal changes. Mature skin’s natural regeneration process slows down which causes a less effective repair of damage. We also lose some fat cells that gives us that youthful look. Again, all these changes are a natural part of aging but with the help of a proper skincare routine tailored to your mature skin it will can help mitigate these effects.

Then we also have extrinsic aging to think about which are caused by external factors but can accelerate the aging process like enjoying too much sun too often without sunscreen!!!  This one of the most contributors of premature skin aging causing DNA damage and collagen break down leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Pollution is also a big one generating free radicals damaging skin cells and again accelerating aging. Your lifestyle choices also affect your aging process, a poor diet, not drinking enough water, smoking and alcohol, not exercising , stress, anger etc…
