While aging is a natural process which affects one and all in various ways, our skin too undergoes significant changes, from texture and tone to fine lines and wrinkles. The first step towards implementing a comprehensive skincare routine is by understanding these physiological changes and incorporating targeted treatments to minimise the visible signs of aging.
This blog will show you how to embrace the journey beyond wrinkles through transformative practices and holistic approaches that redefine the narratives of aging and discover the keys to a fulfilling elderhood.
Shifting beauty standards across different stages of life
For decades, media has been portraying beauty to be inextricably linked with youth. Wrinkles, fine lines and age spots were looked upon as flaws, rather than accepting these unique features as a celebrating life experience.
Skin care for these stages
As we age, the skin care routines should be adapted accordingly, but the fundamentals will always remain the same, such as Moisturising, exfoliation and cleansing.
That said, the products you use to restore facial volume should change to address the evolving needs of your skin.
After the 30s focus should be on prevention with products incorporated with hyaluronic acid and peptides to address concerns like uneven skin tone and fine lines.
Choose a cheek dermal filler treatment that aligns with your goal to smoothen wrinkles and enhance your face features to rejuvenate the skin.
Dermal fillers are injectable gels that are popular with many aging individuals to achieve a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Moreover, a few precise injections are more than enough to see immediate results.
Beyond the age of 40, hydration and skin firming should get top priority. Consider brands with retinoids, collagen and growth factors boosters.
Consider using Sculptra, a kind of biostimulator that comes in injectable form to help stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This will help smooth wrinkles and boost skin tightness and firmnesses.
Over a period of use, Sculptra works on the deeper layers under the skin to restores the structure of the skin, is minimally invasive and provides long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Makeup, at any age, can enhance the appearance, but never to mask the age. Choose products that complement your skin tone and focus on highlighting your best features.
Over a period of three months, treatment with Sculptra shows around 67% improvement in Type 1 collagen, with positive results seen after just a few days of treatment.
As you age, your likes and dislikes also change, so one should not be afraid to experiment and find the right product that makes you feel beautiful looking and confident.
Aging may be inevitable, but this journey of growth and self-discovery where each stage needs to be embraced with joy and wisdom that come with passage of time-after all true beauty is ageless.
Remember to consult a dermatologist for recommendation as the best skin care is not only about erasing age marks, but maintaining a healthy skin care routine for radiant and healthy skin.
