Anti-Aging Skincare Suggestions
Characteristics of this skin type include:
Dry epidermis and appearance of wrinkles and expression lines
Skin looks dull and spots tend to appear
Skin loses its elasticity while cheeks, eyelids, and lower jaw begin to droop
Causes include:
The advancement of age and declining levels of hormone secretions result in an inadequate production of collagen
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays destroy the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and creates pigmentation
The inability to shed dead skin cells on the face due to declined blood circulation and metabolic rate
Damage due to exposure to sunlight and UV rays resulting in hyper-pigmentation (dark spots)
Loss of melanin resulting in hypo-pigmentation (white spots)
Below, you can find product suggestions from our talented estheticians for every step of your skincare routine that will help you maintain healthy, glowing skin all summer long!
