5 Skin Care Rules for Mature Skin

When it comes to how you behave, maturity is the gold standard. But when it comes to your skin? Well, you might not be quite as much of a fan of maturity. That’s because a mature complexion has its own set of concerns. If you’re looking to put together an anti-aging skin care routine for mature skin, look no further. Below, we’re sharing five skin care rules for those with mature skin. It’s time to pamper your gorgeous face!

Mature Skin Care Rule #1: Wash Your Face with a Cream Cleanser

As skin matures, it can lose moisture, nutrients, and natural oils, resulting in drier skin. So, when you’re ready to wash your face, your first anti-aging skin care step should be reaching for a cream cleanser, like the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cream Cleanser. It’s formulated with replenishing oils to help gently yet effectively remove traces of makeup so that you can cleanse your skin without over-drying. Every morning and evening, lather the cleanser into wet hands, gently massaging it onto skin. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Mature Skin Care Rule #2: Illuminate the Look of Your Skin with Serum

If you have mature skin and you haven’t yet added a serum to your anti-aging skin care routine, it’s time to get on it! As you age, the look of skin’s radiance can decrease. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Golden Serum is formulated with golden micro-reflectors to help illuminate the look of your complexion. Instantly, skin feels softer and appears refreshed. Apply this non-greasy, lightweight serum onto cleansed skin morning and night.

Mature Skin Care Rule #3: Add a Layer of Hydration with Facial Oil

Before you think about grabbing a moisturizer for your mature skin, consider using a facial oil for an extra layer of hydration first. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Facial Oil Light is formulated with eight essential oils to help promote hydrated skin. Every morning and evening, apply 4-5 drops onto the palm of your hand. With your finger, dab the facial oil in small dots onto cleansed skin. Smooth it onto your face slowly and deeply, using the whole surface of your hands. Immediately, skin feels nourished and appears more radiant. Bonus: Using a facial oil can be totally relaxing—you’ll feel like you’re giving yourself a mini facial right at home!

Mature Skin Care Rule #4: Don’t Forget About Your Eyes

Ah, this is one skin care step that is often overlooked—but if you have mature skin, it can be useful to apply an eye cream as part of your anti-aging regimen. The thing is, as you age, your eye area can lose the look of vitality. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Eye Renewal Eye Cream helps hydrate the eye area immediately and diminish the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags, and crow’s feet with continued use over time. After applying serum and/or facial oil, apply a small amount of eye cream around your entire eye area using your fingertips and pat in gently until thoroughly absorbed.

Mature Skin Care Rule #5: Use Separate Day and Night Creams

You’ve reached the end of your anti-aging skin care routine—so go ahead and pick up your moisturizer of choice. If you have mature skin, try using separate day and night creams. Every morning, smooth the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Day Cream onto your face. It’s formulated with broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 15. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher daily as well as reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. That’s not all for your sun protection routine, though. According to the FDA, you should also take other measures such as limiting your amount of time in the sun, seeking shade, and covering up exposed areas in long sleeves, pants, a broad-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

As far as your nighttime skin care routine goes, reach for the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Night Cream and use it as the last step. Instantly, skin feels nourished, while skin appears renewed with continued use over time. Simply smooth it over your face and neck until thoroughly absorbed.
