How do I care for my mature skin?

Looking after mature skin demands a slightly different tact to your previous skincare regime. While we spent our teens and twenties blithly disregarding our skin, other than to wash it and apply makeup, mature skin needs a lot more TLC.

One of the biggest things you can do to keep your skin healthy is to avoid the sun, or more specifically, the ultraviolet radiation given off by the sun, according to HowStuffWorks. Although we often associate sunburns with warm-weather activities like swimming or playing sports, you can just as easily get a sunburn in the winter. In addition to using sunscreen, you can minimize sun damage, called photoaging, by wearing hats and cover-ups when outside for long periods of time. Extreme photoaging can also lead to skin cancer, which can be fatal.

While you’re avoiding the sun (and tanning beds, too) you should put down your cigarette. The repetitive facial expressions that you make when you smoke — pinching your lips around the cigarette, squinting when the smoke blows into your eyes — cause wrinkles. In addition, nicotine damages the collagen and elastin in your skin and reduces the blood flow in the vessels near its surface.

Dr. Hauschka Regenerating lntensive Treatment is specifically designed for mature skin.

Dr. Hauschka Intensive Treatments are formulated for skin that has lost its natural balance and requires focused care. Regenerating Intensive Treatment is an activating intensive care product for skin prone to wrinkles and dryness.

Skin cells are renewed every 28 days. Mirroring this same regenerative cycle, Regenerating Intensive Treatment should be used as skin care for 28 days. Regenerating Intensive Treatment works most effectively when used four times a year as a stimulus.
