Slight facial wrinkles slowly become deep wrinkles that characterize the face - does that sound familiar? I know this all too well myself and know that I would wish it were different. Of course, age wrinkles are unavoidable with mature skin, but you can counteract the entire skin aging process with regular and correct care. With the right and individually tailored cosmetics, the entire complexion can be rejuvenated by up to 10 years. Thanks to my years of experience as a beautician, I will tell you in this article how this works and how you can do something good for your skin to ensure younger-looking skin.

When do we talk about mature skin?
Women's biological skin aging begins between the ages of 20 and 20. and 25. Age. From around the age of 40 As you age, the signs of skin aging become much more visible and in cosmetics we speak of “mature” skin. The course of skin aging is of course individual for every woman and depends on a variety of factors. In general, however, it can be said that around 30% of skin aging factors are genetic, i.e. hereditary. This percentage used to be significantly higher, although external influences that promote skin aging are increasing significantly today. For example, fine dust pollution but also other environmental factors cause the skin to age more quickly.
THESE 5 FACTORS AGING THE SKIN
-
A changed hormonal balance: estrogen and progesterone levels decrease with increasing age. These hormones are important for collagen and hyaluronic acidproduction in the skin, i.e. H they determine the elasticity and moisture of the skin.
-
UV radiation: Sunlight is beautiful, but UV rays still age our skin. UVA radiation in particular damages the skin deep into its connective tissue fibers. This results in so-called photoaging – light-induced aging, the damage of which sometimes only becomes visible years later.
-
Medications also have an impact on the skin. Cortisone e.g. b makes them significantly thinner and more sensitive.
-
Smoking, alcohol and unhealthy diet are all factors that activate free radicals. In other words, these are aggressive oxygen molecules that damage our cells.
-
Stress – the skin as a mirror of the soul makes stress quickly become visible and also triggers skin aging reactions.
The general consequences of these factors and skin aging are loss of elasticity, enlarged pores, dryness wrinkles, pigmentation disorders, tired and dull skin.
THESE 5 THINGS HELP AGAINST THE SKIN AGING
Skin support as a combination of a healthy lifestyle and consistent care tailored to individual skin needs.
-
HEALTHY AND BALANCED DIET
Eating healthily so that it is good for the skin means consuming lots of vitamins (antioxidants) and fiber. As a nice side effect: you promote a healthy intestine! Perhaps a little more challenging but just as important, cigarettes and alcohol should be avoided as much as possible.
-
SUFFICIENT WATER
Your skin should receive enough water every day. Because water is a natural cushion for the skin and directly ensures more freshness and elasticity. When I say enough water, I mean at least 1.5-2 liters daily.
-
PEELING TO REMOVE DEPOSITS
A regular peeling with fruit acids refines the surface of the skin, smoothes wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation and makes the skin more receptive to active ingredients. A fruit acid peeling in particular penetrates more mature skin, which may have become a little more robust due to past stress and slower cell renewal.
-
THE CORRECT CLEANSING & CARE
In order for the skin to regenerate successfully, it is important to remove make-up and accumulated particles (such as fine dust) from the face before going to bed. In the morning, the skin should also be cleansed to remove the absorbed residue. A careful approach to the sun through sun protection or avoiding midday sun also helps to protect your skin from accelerated aging.
-
LESS STRESS, MORE EXERCISE
Stress and hormonal fluctuations have a particular impact on the complexion of many people. So you should avoid stress and, ideally, reduce it through sport, autogenic training or yoga. Sport and exercise also ensure a better metabolism in the skin and more energy in the cells.
-
ENOUGH SLEEP
Overnight and while resting, the skin regenerates and cell division is stimulated. More sleep ensures more cell division and a fresher appearance. It is also the ideal measure against daily stress. Sleep as a break or moments of relaxation such as meditation or a soothing massage.
THE RIGHT CARE:
I can only emphasize again and again how important it is to regularly care for our skin. If you tailor your skin care to the specific aging characteristics and the individual condition of your skin, the external appearance and elasticity of your skin can be significantly improved. Of course, this includes good anti-aging products and daily cleansing and care in the morning and evening.
What constitutes good care?
Good care is characterized by high-quality and natural active ingredients in the respective products. These active ingredients are, for example:
Retinol – a particularly effective form of vitamin A: It promotes the formation of new cells in the epidermis, activates collagen production in the connective tissue and is an important antioxidant for binding free radicals. The result: smooth and radiant skin.
Hyaluronic acid – is an important component of our connective tissue and ensures well-moisturized and plump-looking skin. In addition, your collagen and elastic fiber network is strengthened. Hyaluronic acid can be wonderfully added to creams and serums.
Peptides – smaller proteins whose wrinkle-reducing effects have been confirmed in various studies. For example, Argireline is currently one of the most proven effective peptides.
Vitamin C - is a very important antioxidant that has a stimulating effect on collagen formation in the skin and balances pigmentation. A vitamin C serum is also ideal under day care for a fresh look and the necessary cell protection.
AHAs and amino acids – are fruit acids that have a visibly effective anti-wrinkle effect. The topmost horny scales are loosened and the skin becomes more even. New cell formation is activated, collagen development is promoted and inflammation is actively counteracted.
POWERFUL ANTI-ANGING PRODUCTS FOR MATURE SKIN:

The daily supply of moisture with immediate effect. Moisture deficits are compensated for and the skin looks smoother and fresher. Hyaluronic acid serums are also catalysts for other anti-aging products and can be combined with other serums, e.g. b Containing peptides can be combined. Here I can warmly recommend the Image Skin Care Hyaluronic Filler, a highly concentrated hyaluronic serum with vitamin B5, vitamin E and apricot oil.
An effective Anti-aging cream
With the right Anti-aging cream Signs of dryness in the skin are eliminated and lines and wrinkles are smoothed. Mature skin becomes drier over the years, i.e. H It needs more extensive care in order to be adequately supplied with active ingredients and of course for protection. Image Skincare The Max Stem Cell Cream and The Max Stem Cell Eye Cream are two products that I would like to recommend. A concentrated anti-aging complex made of peptides and stem cells from edelweiss and apple has an intensive regenerating, smoothing effect, stimulates collagen formation and provides intensive moisture.
