What does ageing skin mean?
As you get older, you might notice changes in the shape, texture and overall appearance of your skin. This is because as we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and collagen production slows down.

Most people assume that “ageing skin” refers to someone who has aged past a certain age. While there isn’t a set age when your skin will suddenly reach this stage, typically people over the age of 35 begin showing signs of mature skin.
However, it can affect us all at any age. It’s important to understand what ageing skin is, as well as how you can tell if you have it.
What are some signs of ageing?

The most common sign of mature skin is wrinkles and fine lines—especially around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, mouth, and neck. You may also notice uneven texture, dryness or dullness in your complexion, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), sagging skin due to muscle loss or a decrease in collagen production.
Poor skincare habits like not wearing sunscreen or using harsh cleansers can also contribute to adverse signs of ageing.
Taking care of ageing skin
When it comes to taking care of ageing skin, the key is hydration and skin turnover. Moisturising both morning and night is essential for keeping your skin looking young and healthy. Also look for products that contain Retinol as this ingredient helps grow new skin cells and ensure a smooth, bright and glowing complexion.
It’s also important to use a gentle cleansing product that won’t strip away moisture or irritate the delicate area around your eyes. An intensively restorative serum that helps skin reclaim comfort and equilibrium is essential. Using an powerful eye gel will help reduce puffiness and keep wrinkles at bay while protecting against damage caused by free radicals. Another secret for youthful skin is a good powerful retinol that is gentle on the skin, it helps gives skin a beautiful natural glow. Sunscreen is also essential as unprotected exposure to UV rays increases one’s risk for premature ageing, sunburns and other forms of damage.
