With so many "anti-aging" products on the market it can become very confusing when searching for the best products for your skin. Ceramides, Liposomes, Anti-Oxidants...does your skin need all of these things?
In this article we attempt to de-mystify the abundance of information by addressing what is MOST IMPORTANT for your skin depending on your age.
thirties
It's sad but true, skin ageing really begins at 30. Particularly when you've exposed yourself to the sun. Fine lines develop as Collagen and Elastin start to break down, and our delicate skin under the eyes begins to thin. Skin generally becomes drier, quicker. Broken veins may start to show up as tiny red dots, and towards the end of this decade, age spots and brown pigmentation marks, or 'sun spots', may appear. Under-eye puffiness may become a problem, taking longer to subside after you wake. Arrghhh! you may say, but don't panic, there is a lot you can do to halt the ageing process...
What you need: Moisturisers with sun protection.
- Hydrating moisturizer such as Pevonia Collagen Cream
- SPF 15+ day protection such as Pevonia Hydrating Sunscreen
- Eye cream or cream/gel such as Pevonia Evolutive Eye Gel
forties
Deeper lines begin to etch around the mouth and eyes, furrows appear on the forehead and circles under the eyes may grow into pouches. Most women's skin becomes noticeably drier. In the run-up to the menopause, and during this phase, skin may also become more sensitive. What's more, skin loses its resilience due to a breakdown of Elastin and Collagen.
What you need: Your daily regime should embrace products that offer specific benefits to counteract skin problems such as: sensitivity, hyper-pigmentation, anti-aging
- Lip and eye care products such as Pevonia Youthful Lip Cream and Evolutive Eye Cream
- Hydrating moisturizer with Elastin such as Pevonia Marine Elastin Cream
- Soothing serum to protect capillaries such as Pevonia Soothing Propolis Concentrate
fifties
By now, skin starts to acquire true 'character' in the form of fine wrinkles, and the lines you develop in your fifties and sixties may deepen into folds. This is because, post-menopausally, there's much less oestrogen being produced and without oestrogen, skin becomes thinner and more fragile. It is also less able to retain moisture and the production of collagen and elastin slows down significantly. In the fifties, skin tone is also likely to become more uneven, with an increasing number of 'sun spots'
What you need: Products that minimize the appearance of lines, contain phyto-estrogens and protect the skin from the sun or even fade sunspots.
- De-aging products such as Pevonia Caviar Line or Lumafirm Line
- Products with phyto-estrogens such as Pevonia RS2 Line
- Products rich in collagen and elastin such as Pevonia Power Repair Line
- Sun protection and pigment fading products such as Pevonia Hydrating Sunscreen and Pevonia Lightening Gel
sixties
Dryness. Your skin has a hard time retaining moisture and natural oil production slows down. Dullness. Cell turnover continues to slow - a process that started in your forties. Dark spots. Between the lack of oil, the loss of collagen and elastin, and the dryness, dark spots can really start to stand out. Actinic keratoses. Areas of scaly roughness often seen on fair-skinned women that can be a precursor to skin cancer.
What you need: Products that minimize the appearance of lines with a stronger emphasis on exfoliation.
- De-aging products such as Pevonia Caviar Line or Lumafirm Line
- Exfoliating products with aha’s such as Pevonia Glycocides Cream
- Products rich in collagen and elastin such as Pevonia Power Repair Line
