Attention to all women over the age of 50 who understand that true beauty radiates from within while desiring to look their best. This article is for you, offering advice that celebrates the beauty found in the years beyond 50.Â
While there may not be quick fixes, the insights shared here embrace the transformative potential of this stage in life.
1. Prioritize Organic Skincare
Switching to organic skincare products becomes increasingly important when you’re over 50 due to several reasons. First, as our skin matures, it tends to become more sensitive to harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients commonly found in conventional skincare products. Organic skincare products, on the other hand, are formulated with natural and plant-derived ingredients, free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and artificial fragrances.
Second, organic products often contain high concentrations of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, which can nourish and repair aging skin, improving its overall health. By making the switch to organic skincare, you can embrace a more gentle and mindful approach to taking care of your skin, ensuring that it receives the nourishment and care it deserves This is especially important during menopause when you experience hormonal imbalances – switching to organic products will help eliminate endocrine disruptors that come with non-organic products.
2. Introduce Plant-Based Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C serums are excellent for mature skin as they help brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, and promote collagen production. Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum is 100% organic vitamin C with over 200 fresh, plant-derived antioxidants. Its all-star botanical is Kakadu Plum – having the highest amount of Vitamin C on the planet, 55x more than oranges! It also contains plant-based vitamin E and niacinamide each of which work together to nourish the skin. Plant Mother’s powerful Vitamin C gives your skin the perfect level of brightening and nutrition (and it’s oil-based!).
3. Start Using Face Oils
Talking about oil-based products, as we age, our skin experiences a decline in natural oil production and cell turnover, leading to increased dryness. This is particularly noticeable during and after menopause. Therefore, in your 50s, incorporating face oils and oil-based products into your skincare routine becomes increasingly important.Â
Make sure oils and oil-based products you choose contain only natural and unrefined botanical oils. These products provide nourishment and help replenish the natural oils that decline with age. Mineral and refined oils, on the other hand, are stripped from nutrients. The oil-based products recommended in this post are made from the highest-quality organic, cold-pressed, and unrefined oils.Â
4. Embrace PLANT-BASED Retinol
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is a potent ingredient renowned for its anti-aging benefits. Incorporate a retinol serum into your nighttime routine to improve skin texture, minimize fine lines, and boost overall skin rejuvenation. Avoid prescription strength retinols, they can dry out your skin and cause irritation. Plant Mother’s Retinol Serum is organic and plant-based, made with organic unrefined botanical oils.
The serum’s superhero ingredients are Bakuchiol, Sea Buckthorn seed and pulp oil (the King and Queen of anti-aging skincare). These ingredients are blended with luxurious rejuvenating botanicals – hibiscus, cloudberry, passion fruit, rosehip, and prickly pear. It combats fine lines and wrinkles without the ugly side effects of synthetic retinols.Â
You should use this Retinol overnight, together with the Plant Mother’s wonderful vitamin C serum during the day. You can save 5% by buying these two in a set.
5. Focus on the Eye Area
The delicate skin around the eyes requires special attention. Especially if you’re over 50, you’ll start experiencing crow’s feet and crepey dry skin around your eyes. Use an organic eye serum (better than the cream!) that contains ingredients like antioxidants and carotenoids to reduce the appearance of fine lines and nourish your dry skin.Â
Again, choose organic, plant-based eye serum, packed with antioxidants and vitamins that will nourish and repair your dry under eye skin. Gently apply the product with your ring finger, using tapping motions to avoid unnecessary tugging or pulling.Â
6. Emphasize Neck and Décolletage Care
While facial skincare often takes center stage, it’s important not to neglect the neck and décolletage areas. These areas can show signs of aging and sun damage just like the face. Extend your skincare routine beyond the face by applying your regular skincare products, including moisturizers, serums, and sunscreen, to the neck and décolletage.Â
Additionally, consider using specialized neck creams or treatments that target sagging skin, fine lines, and age spots in these areas.
7. Choose Healthy & Non-Toxic Skincare
As we enter our 50s, the need for non-toxic skincare becomes increasingly essential. Our skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself diminishes with age, making it more vulnerable to the harmful effects of toxins found in many skincare products.Â
Opting for non-toxic skincare helps reduce the risk of irritation and breakouts, allowing your skin to age gracefully. Non-toxic products are formulated with gentle, nourishing ingredients that support skin health, ensuring a radiant and youthful complexion in your golden years.
8. Prioritize Skin Cancer Prevention
Prioritize skin protection and early detection. You should have regular full-body skin exams by a certified dermatologist to safeguard against skin cancer. If there’s a family history or you’ve had sun damage in the past, consider more frequent check-ups. Catching precancerous signs early is easier and prevents future consequences. Schedule a baseline evaluation with your dermatologist now.
9. Use Biodegradable SPF
Wearing SPF daily is very important. If you’re over 50, it’s even more important because it’ll prevent appearance of age spots and hormonal skin discolorations. Make sure your SPF is biodegradable and reef-safe – and remember to always choose organic and non-toxic products!
10. Practice Facial Exercises
A less-known tip for aging skin is the benefit of facial exercises. Just as exercise helps tone and strengthen the body’s muscles, facial exercises can help maintain muscle tone and firmness in the face.Â
These exercises can potentially reduce the appearance of sagging and fine lines, promoting a more youthful look. Regularly practicing facial yoga or exercises designed for facial muscles can be a natural and non-invasive way to complement your skincare routine and maintain skin elasticity as you age.
