Care for mature skin

Collagen gives the skin structure and firmness. From around the age of 25, the body's own collagen production decreases by about one percent per year. That sounds little – but after two decades the difference is visible: contours appear less defined, wrinkles form, and the skin slightly sags.

Peptide are signaling molecules that tell the skin to produce more collagen – without hormonal intervention. Retinol accelerates cell renewal and stimulates collagen production – the best-documented Anti-Aging mechanism. Vitamin C protects existing collagen from oxidative breakdown while supporting new formation.

Introduce Retinol in the evening – first every other night, then daily. The skin needs time to adjust. Always use sun protection during the day – Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to light.

As you age, the skin produces fewer lipids and natural moisturizing factors. The skin becomes drier, reacts more sensitively to cold and heating air, and feelings of tightness occur more often. Dryness lines appear faster and deeper than in younger skin.

Hyaluronic acid in different molecular sizes provides moisture to all skin layers. Ceramide stabilize the protective function. Facial oils with plant oils like argan, rosehip, or jojoba can seal the skin as the final care step and retain moisture long-term.

For very dry mature skin: switch to richer creams in winter, use additional moisturizing masks once or twice a week. The right balance of moisture and lipids makes the difference between tight and supple skin.
