Here’s a common 50-plus skin tale: You’re on track to smoother, bouncier, glowier skin.
Nothing that these 10 tweaks can’t fix.
Switch to a humectant-emollient moisturizer
First, know what’s really going on with your skin.
Dry skin is normal at age 50, thanks to decreased skin oils known as lipids.
In winter skin gets even drier and may feel rough, flaky, itchy or tight.
Dehydrated skin is about water loss and may be temporary, if managed.
It even may look saggy, more lined or even inflamed.
You may have dry or dehydrated skin or most likely both.
The skin in the eye area is super-thin and dry, so exposure to temperature extremes is extra damaging.
These won’t interfere with yourmakeup, migrate into your eyes or irritate them if they tear up.
The bonus: A moisturized eye area makes your entire face look fresher.
Layer your skin products correctly
Adding a serum and/or oil to your routine can enhance the benefits of yourmoisturizer.
Pick one that targets your biggest concern, which right now is getting more moisture into the skin.
However, they don’t moisturize, so always apply one under a cream.
Oils work when they’re applied sparingly over moisturizer on extra-dry areas.
This skin sandwich of serum, moisturizer and oil is a seasonal game changer for many mature faces.
