The five beauty commandments for people over 50

It is a fact! When we pass forty we know that our skin and hair are no longer what they were. That is why we need to acquire a new beauty routine that adapts to our new needs, much more demanding than before, and achieve better results. We consulted with Aura Serras, director of iS Clinical and RevitaLash Cosmetics, and she reveals the five commandments that will help you have a complete beauty routine from the age of 50.

Commandment 1: anti-aging

"The basis of your beauty routine should be based mainly on anti-aging and firming treatments. Bet on hyaluronic acid or retinol, as they return collagen to the skin," says Aura Serrás.

Firming the skin becomes one of the main objectives to slow down aging and that sagging aspect, which is what needs to be focused on. It is ideal for its short, medium and long-term effect, treating lines and wrinkles, texture, luminosity and density.

Commandment 2: cleanliness

Aura Serrás recommends resorting to super creamy cleansing formulas indicated for dry skin. "With age, the skin will tend to be thinner and duller, making it less hydrated. The thicker the cleansing cream, the better," declares the expert.

Commandment 3: makeup

"Say goodbye to super-covering makeup, which marks expression wrinkles, and opt for products that naturally add light and color to your face, subtly unifying the tone, while protecting you from the sun and external agents. like pollution", declares Aura Serrás.

Commandment 4: Lips and eyes

We cannot ignore the eye contour and the lip contour, two of the most demanding areas regarding skin care. "The area around the eyes is up to four times finer than the rest of the skin on the face, which, added to the loss of firmness and density of the skin over time, cause dark circles to become much more marked and dark areas to appear. that give the appearance of a tired and aged face", declares Aura Serrás.

Regarding the lip area, Aura Serrás affirms that they are also an area that suffers from aging, "especially the upper lip loses volume over time, which is why they need specific products for their care."

Commandment 5: hair

"The hair is also another of the points to which we have to pay special attention once we reach 50, since it becomes finer and begins to fall out more frequently", explains Aura Serrás, "My recommendation is shampoos with arginine ".
