Cleansing, exfoliation and hydration, the three essential steps in the beauty routine for women over 50

SARA FLAMENCO

The needs of your skin change over the years and you should know how to take care of it depending on your age. At 20, you have it so young and smooth that you don't need anything other than hydrating it and protecting it from the sun; at 30 you start to worry about the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines; at 40 you already have them there and you try to soften them; and at 50, losing firmness becomes your top priority. Today we are going to focus on those mature skins from the age of 50, for which there are already specific treatments such as caviar creams. But creams are not everything, you have to learn to take care of it from the beginning, for which you must have three clear steps: cleansing, exfoliation and hydration.

Not only because of age, but also because of the hormonal changes caused by menopause, women's skin becomes thinner and tends to become dry and tight. In this way, deep wrinkles, flaccidity, spots and loss of luminosity can appear. That's why you can't use the same beauty routine as at 20, because, even if you feel young, your skin is no longer the same.

The first step in any beauty routine, and with more emphasis on more mature skin, is facial cleansing. You can get into the Korean double cleansing or get yourself a facial cleansing brush, but this step is absolutely essential. Do not forget about exfoliation either, a step to which we do not pay the attention it deserves. Over the years, natural cell renewal slows down and the use of chemical exfoliants will help stimulate it to treat wrinkles, spots and other signs of aging. In addition, you should pay special attention to hydration, with creams that help prevent water loss. Therefore, hyaluronic acid will become your best friend. Finally, of course, sun protection, to avoid spots and other negative effects of UV rays such as the loss of collagen and elastin.

Here are some products that should not be missing from your cosmetic bag if you have already turned 50. Write them down and you will notice a more rejuvenated, firm and luminous skin.
