Beauty at 45

Beauty at 45 is so difficult! Between the ages of 45 and 55, the drop in estrogen and the lack of ovulation have direct consequences for our health and skin's appearance. We must understand that chronological age isn't the most important factor when it comes to skincare; other factors, such as genetics, lifestyle habits, and sun exposure, are far more significant.

Why does the drop in estrogen affect our skin?

Estrogens are the primary female sex hormones, responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in women from puberty onward. Their functions range from preparing for fertilization and regulating cholesterol levels to protecting bones, stimulating libido, and aiding in collagen formation. It is this last function that is of particular interest to us. The drop in estrogen levels affects collagen production, which in turn contributes to the appearance of wrinkles, loss of muscle tone, and sagging skin.

Here are some steps to follow to keep your skin healthy.

Skincare guide for those over 45

• CREAMS WITH ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS, RETINOIDS AND VITAMIN C.

Choose a cream that combines alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic or salicylic acid, with retinoids and antioxidants like vitamin C. These ingredients accelerate cell renewal and help give skin a healthy, radiant glow.

• HYALURONIC ACID

This trendy ingredient can be found in a variety of creams and serums. Its importance lies in its moisturizing capacity; it's able to retain water. This ingredient keeps the skin hydrated and healthy-looking. We should use these creams daily.

• PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN

This is a universal rule, regardless of your age: it's important to protect your skin from sun exposure. You should use sunscreen every day; it's the foundation of your facial beauty routine, and at Skinvity, we never tire of repeating it.
