Mature skinMature skin or ageing skin is time-tired skin. They are the result of passing years. With age, there are changes in the skin. The oil glands become less active and the skin also loses its ability to retain moisture. Therefore, the skin becomes dry and dehydrated.By the age of 60, tiny lines and wrinkles already appear on the skin, which also loses its firmness, elasticity and resilience. It may also begin to sag. The “frown lines” on the forehead, “laughter lines” on the sides of the mouth and “crows' feet” at the sides of the eyes become deeper with age. The skin becomes dull and prone to dark spots, patches and uneven colour tone. Of course, such skins can be rejuvenated with age- control treatments and professional care.Skin care mattersDaily skin care routine is important, especially since some skins tend to get drier with age. Moisturising and nourishing are important aspects of the care of ageing skin. Avoid soap and use a cleansing gel or cream. The skin should be protected from the sun with sunscreens and should be kept moisturized during the day.At night, a nourishing cream should be massaged on the face with a few drops of water. Wipe off excess cream with moist cotton wool before bedtime. Nourishing helps the skin to retain moisture. It also softens the skin, keeps it smooth and delays the formation of lines and wrinkles. Select skin care products containing plant extracts that are rich in Vitamin A and E. Weekly salon facials would also help to rejuvenate the skin and preserve its youthful qualities.Attention to detailDuring your skin care routine, pay attention to particular areas, which begin to show ageing signs earlier than other parts of the face or body. These are the neck, the area around the eyes and the hands. The skin around the eyes is very thin and delicate. It can get easily pulled or stretched. So, very gentle care is needed while removing make-up and creams.Apply a cleansing gel around the eyes and wipe off with moist cotton wool. Then apply an outer-eye cream and leave it on only for ten minutes. Wipe off with moist cotton wool. Masks should not be applied around the eyes. However, we have formulated a seaweed mask for the delicate skin around the eyes. It is of a watery consistency. It is applied and then washed off when it dries.Include the neck in your daily routine. Apply cream and massage it on the skin, starting from the chin and going downwards. Use both the hands, one hand following the other. The pressure should be applied while going down and not while bringing hands back to the chin.Scientific research has introduced many natural ingredients in skin care that delay ageing signs. A prominent breakthrough in anti-ageing treatments is Plant Stem Cells, which have the ability to stimulate human stem cell growth and activate the process of repair and regeneration. This means that if our skin cells are damaged or dead and the skin shows signs of ageing, the plant stem cells can form new cells, repair damaged cells and thus reduce ageing signs. The ageing skin begins to look younger and smoother.When Plant stem cells are introduced into the skin during skin care treatments, they actually influence the skin at the cellular level and activate the process of repair and replacement of dead and damaged skin cells. They also stimulate the cell regeneration process in the skin, reducing ageing signs to a remarkable degree. They influence collagen and elastin, the supportive tissues of the skin. The skin looks tighter, firmer and youthful.Home remediesSoak cotton wool pads in chilled rose water and place them over the eyes for 10 minutes.
