There are many factors to consider when it comes to skin care, and one of the most important is undoubtedly the condition of the skin. Young, delicate and mature skins have to be treated differently, as they have different needs. “Mature skin reflects the passage of time. We identify them with wrinkles, flaccidity, skin spots, dryness, dehydration, yellowish tone, open pores, loss of luminosity, etc. There is no specific starting age for mature skin as it depends mainly on genetics and, among other factors, lifestyle. Therefore, it is never too late to start taking care of your skin.
What is a mature skin?
We know that, although the signs of ageing cannot be stopped, there are many options available to delay them and boast a healthy complexion. Mature skin generally has diminished functional capacity, is therefore more exposed to harmful external agents and tends to present alterations in protein synthesis, such as the peroxidation of membrane lipids caused by the action of FR (free radicals). As a result, the skin’s defense mechanisms are disrupted by the action of the aforementioned FRs and favor the development of ageing (intrinsic and extrinsic).
ALEVOO’s new generation of organic cosmetics, tested on all skins, was created to tackle that ageing process. “Our body has mechanisms to neutralize free radicals and, additionally, we can slow down skin ageing with ALEVOO organic face and body cosmetics, rich in vitamin E, antioxidants and other active ingredients that provide the elasticity, firmness and tone that these skins need”
Step by step: beauty routine for mature skin
To understand how to use each of those products, we share the following keys to the beauty routine for mature skin. The first step is cleansing, which should be done with cold water (as it activates circulation and tones the skin) and using our organic ALEVOO soap, a product known for its remarkable properties. It does not dry out the skin, eliminates impurities and provides the necessary hydration and elasticity to make the skin look clean and luminous.
It is important for mature skin to use cosmetics made with anti-radical and antioxidant formulas, enhancing the skin with products such as serum and eye contour, two more allies against skin oxidation and flaccidity, in favor of greater firmness, luminosity and elasticity. Following, we apply our ALEVOO organic serum, which stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, providing firmness and elasticity; at the same time, it re-densifies the skin, corrects flaccidity and provides great luminosity. The serum should be applied to cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolleté, morning and night. At the same time, we apply the ALEVOO organic eye contour cream which prevents wrinkles, bags and dark circles, reducing symptoms of tiredness and fatigue.
Ending the ALEVOO organic beauty routine with our moisturising day cream and nourishing and regenerating night cream, which prevents and reduces the alterations caused by ageing thanks to its moisturizing, emollient, moisturizing, nourishing and regenerating properties. Paying attention to the ingredients is one of the tricks that experts emphasise the most, in the case of Alevoo, our moisturiser features vitamin E and antioxidants and active ingredients which work 24 hours a day.
Sun protection
All skins, and especially the mature skin, need a sun protection and anti-pollution factor. ALEVOO organic day cream has SPF15 as a sunscreen and, in addition, its formula, based on extra virgin olive oil, has an anti-inflammatory effect against UVB radiation and prevents the deactivation of the enzyme superoxide dismutase caused by UVA radiation, which reinforces the protection of healthy skin. In addition, the best cosmetic products for mature skin must act on fibroblasts by stimulating collagen formation and have anti-inflammatory and healing properties, as Alevoo’s line do.
The best diet
The use of the cosmetics will not be fully effective unless another important factor is considered: diet. Knowing that best diet is the Mediterranean diet, as numerous studies have already shown, neglecting what is part of our diet can lead to facial alterations. Scientific studies have shown that a diet deficient in essential fatty acids leads to a loss of skin barrier function and can lead to skin disorders and pathologies such as atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne, xerosis, etc.
Finally, drinking plenty of water, doing physical exercise and using relaxation techniques such as doing simple facial exercises that can help us to keep the facial tissues firm and elastic are other tips to take care of the skin.
