Women 50-plus may be the most experienced consumers ofskin care.
Social media may tout them as the latest Holy Grail solutions, but dont believe everything you see onTikTok.
Some new skin care products are worth it, but others are definitely not.
Im not a dermatologist, but I am a beauty editor with over 40 years experience.
Heres my honest 2024 guide to level up your routine in time for spring:
1.
Trust the peptides push
Youve heard about this ingredient before, but now its a skincare rock star.
Dont expect the kind of tautness Botox injections and fillers produce.
Peptides are usually tolerated well by those with sensitive or redness-prone skin and are an alternative to retinol.
You want extra moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin and squalane in the formula too.
Try pampering retinol formulas
Retinol is legendary for reversing the signs ofsun damageand minimizingwrinkles.
All aim to enable retinol-treated skin to look plumped, dewy and radiant.
Switch to souped-up cleansers with oil
Remember wanting oil-free everything, from foundation tomoisturizer?
cleanser that wont leave your face feeling tight and sensitive.
However, the new oils are far from the bottle ofolive oilsitting in your pantry.
Theyre elevated formulas that benefit from technological advances.
