As the name suggests, mature skin becomes more obvious with age. As we get older, our skin tends to lose its elasticity and a loss of skin-tightness can cause those familiar permanent lines we experience called 'wrinkles'. Other things we might notice about our mature skin is that we lose some natural plumpness and the skin on our jaw line may appear dehydrated.

It is possible to test the elasticity in our skin; when we pinch our skin slightly, the elasticity is what allows it to spring back into place. A loss of elasticity shows when your skin slowly returns to its normal position instead of springing back into place. This can be seen all over your skin however is most prevalent on the neck, elbows and knees.

How Do I Care for My Mature Skin?

Mature skin, just like all skin-types, needs to be looked after in order to ensure a healthy glow is maintained into your twilight years. While it is not possible to completely reverse the effects of ageing on your skin, you can certainly slow down these effects and take measures to replace any of the skin's vital nutrients it may have lost.

SkinAu's Mature Skin Pack stimulates cellular function and biological activity. This allows the skin's natural functions to keep ticking over to add a few more years on to your face. The Collagen and Elastin Night Cream is an excellent aid for wrinkles as its 'plumping effect' helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines giving you a well-deserved confidence boost.

What if My Mature Skin Becomes Dry or Dehydrated?

Skin is constantly changing and we must always be aware of our current skin type to ensure our skin regiment is appropriate. However, just as all skin types, mature skin can become dry or dehydrated. In this instance, it is perfectly acceptable to change your skin routine until this condition has subsided and your skin is back to its normal function. Once your skin condition has improved, you can then return to your previous mature skin routine.
