Skincare for mature skin: Understand the ageing and care gently

Just like the rest of the body, the skin ages completely naturally, and there is nothing wrong with that. Over time the skin becomes thinner, drier and less supple, and fine lines and wrinkles appear. Ageing cannot be stopped, but a gentle, moisturising routine can keep mature skin soft and well cared for. This guide explains what happens to the skin as it ages, and how to look after it well in everyday life.

What happens to the skin as it ages?

Already from around the age of 25 to 30, the skin's production of collagen and elastin falls, the fibres that give the skin firmness and suppleness. At the same time the skin produces less fat and becomes drier. It is a completely natural process, influenced by heredity, lifestyle and the sun's UV rays throughout life.

Signs of mature skin

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dryness and tightness
• Less suppleness and firmness
• A more uneven skin tone

Care for mature skin every day

Mature skin often benefits from a little extra moisture and nourishment. ByLykke Cremer contain Colostrum Complex with more than 90 nutrients as well as organic oils that give the skin moisture and a soft, well-cared-for feel. The creams' combination of water and oils means they absorb pleasantly into the skin.

Good habits that keep the skin soft for longer

• Give the skin moisture daily with a nourishing cream, preferably morning and evening.
• Protect against the sun. The sun's UV rays are the factor you have the most influence over yourself. Use sunscreen all year round, even when the sun is not shining.
• Live healthily. Eat varied, drink plenty of water and avoid smoking, which stresses the skin.
• Start in good time. It is never too early to give the skin good, moisturising care.

How to use ByLykke for mature skin

We recommend using ByLykke Cremer once or twice daily. Our face oil is pleasant together with the creams: Mix a few drops of oil into the cream and apply to the face, so the oil absorbs quickly without being greasy. For the body, ByLykke Skin Lotion is a good choice.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start using care for mature skin?
There is no fixed age. A good, moisturising routine is pleasant at all ages, and many begin before the visible signs appear.

Can cream remove wrinkles?
No. Cosmetic skincare can give the skin moisture and a soft feel, but it does not remove wrinkles. Wrinkles are a natural part of growing older.

What matters most for the skin's ageing?
Heredity and sun play a big role. Sun protection is one of the most important habits you can control yourself.
