Dry and sensitive skin routine: how to recognize it
Incorrectly identifying your skin type can lead to unsuitable care: lack of hydration, discomfort, excess sebum, or increased sensitivity. Conversely, a well-targeted routine allows you to preserve the skin's radiance, suppleness, and quality, while also acting on fine lines and wrinkles.
Over time, skin changes and its needs become more specific. However, a common confusion often persists: mature skin does not mean dry skin. Mature skin can be dry, combination, or sensitive, and each skin type requires a tailored routine to effectively address the signs of ageing.
Misidentifying your skin type can lead to inappropriate care: lack of hydration, discomfort, excess sebum, or increased sensitivity. Conversely, a well-targeted routine helps preserve the skin's radiance, suppleness, and quality, while also addressing wrinkles and fine lines.
So, how do you recognize your skin type when it becomes mature? Which active ingredients should you prioritize based on your profile? And what routine should you adopt with natural anti-ageing products?
Mature Skin: Understanding its Specifics
A Natural Evolution of the Skin
With age, several mechanisms slow down:
- decrease in collagen
- reduction in Hyaluronic Acid
- loss of essential lipids.
👉 This leads to:
- a loss of firmness
- wrinkles and fine lines
- more fragile skin.
Why Skin Type Remains Crucial
Even when mature, the skin retains its nature:
- dry → lack of lipids
- combination → oily and dry areas
- sensitive → increased reactivity.
👉 Adapting your routine is essential to avoid imbalances.
