As skin matures it naturally produces fewer of the oils and lipids that help keep it soft, supple and comfortable. At the same time the skin barrier can become less effective at holding onto moisture.
The result is familiar to many of us. skin that feels dryer, tighter or less familiar than it once did.
Why the skin become dryer as we age?
Our skin is constantly changing throughout our lives as we get older natural oil production tends to decrease and the skin’s ability to retain moisture can reduce. That means skin can feel dryer and tighter or less comfortable than it did before.
Why Does Our Skin Change as we age
Think less about chasing quit fixes and more about supporting your skin barrier using soothing products and avoiding over stripping the skin.
Many people find that richer, waterless products, balms and oils for example, help soften and reduce that tight feeling because they slow water loss and support the skin barrier.
It’s less about miracle claims and more about every day comfort.
Try to choose fragrance free options especially if your skin is reactive.
For dry or mature skin try applying a small amount of oil or balm while the skin is still slightly damp after cleansing. That helps soften and creates a protective layer that slows moisture loss.
If you would like to explore natural skincare our Cell Renewal Face Serum is a lighter option whilst our Replenishing Face Balm provides richer care.
