As we age, our bodies undergo many changes, with everything from our mobility to our outward appearance beginning to reflect our life experiences inwardly and outwardly. Our skin undergoes some of the most prominent changes and often requires a little extra TLC to stay looking its best and leave us feeling comfortable for as long as possible.
While we may not be able to stop the aging process, understanding how our skin evolves over time is essential to knowing how to care for it as we age. At Bloo Pharmapeutica, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their skin at every age. Our new Aqua Miraculorum product is designed to offer relief for some of the early signs of aging and to help you live your best life at every stage. Below, we’ll examine five important skincare facts for seniors and the benefits of Aqua Miraculorum. Read on to learn more!
Skin Becomes Thinner and More Fragile Over Time
One of the most noticeable changes that occurs over time is the gradual thinning of our skin. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that give skin its structure and elasticity—slows down. Collagen and elastin are key for our skin’s structure and strength, texture, and structure. As production slows, the skin becomes more delicate and prone to tears, bruising, and wrinkles, and it is slower to heal.
Hydration Is Key to Healthy Aging Skin
As we grow older, the skin’s ability to retain moisture also diminishes, which can lead to dryness, flakiness and general irritation, especially for those who live in colder climates. Much like thin skin, dryness can leave our skin more vulnerable to damage and will also make the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles more visible. Staying hydrated is essential to avoiding excessively dry skin, and you may be surprised to learn that it’s not just about drinking plenty of water (though this is certainly important!). Make sure your skincare routine has appropriate moisturizers, and adjust your level of hydration to match seasonal shifts that leave your skin more vulnerable throughout the year.
Aging Skin Is More Prone to Sun Damage
While sun protection is important at every stage of life, it becomes even more critical as we age. Older skin is less able to recover from the effects of UV exposure and, therefore, is more at risk for sun damage, including dark spots, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Suncare is crucial at every age and is one of the best preventative measures you can take to protect your skin against future (and current) damage. Wearing sunscreen daily and seeking shade are simple but essential steps in protecting aging skin from harmful UV rays and should always be a top priority.
Collagen Loss Leads to Sagging Skin
Remember when we mentioned that the skin produces less collagen as we age? While this is responsible for the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it’s also the culprit behind saggy jowls, neck skin, and more. As with above, while you can’t stop the loss of collagen, you can invest in nutrients that help stimulate production, exercise, and put your body in the best position to heal and maintain peak collagen levels for as long as possible.
Skincare Should Be Gentle and Consistent
Older skin can be more sensitive to harsh chemicals and aggressive treatments, meaning it’s important to move away from harsh exfoliants and cleansers that strip the skin of essential oils that keep it hydrated and supple (hint: this isn’t age-exclusive!). Consistency is crucial when it comes to maintaining healthy skin and developing a regular skincare routine that you stick to can make all the difference when it comes to aging with grace and confidence!
