Skin care in your 40s and 50s

  • Wrinkles, skin roughness and pigmentation problems tend to develop from the late twenties and early thirties onwards.
  • Simple skin care tips can make a difference

 

  • The following video provides skin care tips by dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology:
    • Use fragrance-free skin care products
    • Moisturize (-se) the skin (better after a shower or if not enough apply additionally a few times a day)
    • Apply sunscreen everybody on face, neck and hands (see video for instructions)
    • Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) or retinoid containing products can reduce wrinkles (but are irritating). On the hands consider applying a product containing glycolic acid or an anti-oxidant
    • Consider products containing antioxidants
    • If acne-prone skin, use a mild cleanser containing sulphur or salicylic acid and use only products which are non-comdogenic (“non-acnegenic”, “oil-free”)
    • Do not smoke as it can lead to premature aging (ageing) and fine wrinkles
    • For more advice or if you wish additional improvement, please see a dermatologist.
