Gravity does not need any help how to apply skincare over 50
Share
We were not brought up with skincare routines. I spent years working 12 to 16 hour shifts going to bed in full makeup and just washing our faces with soap the next day. I used to grab a big drop of cream and rub it into my skin as hard as I could. I thought the harder you press the deeper it goes. I was dragging the skin downwards upwards and sidewards. My skin was young and plump then, so it just bounced back.
That is not the case now. Your skin gets thinner and loses its bounce as we get older.
The clan chin warning I did not really get into proper skincare until my forties. I remembered a warning from a great aunt who hoped my sister and I had not been blessed with the family clan chin. I completely ignored it until I looked in the mirror one day and noticed the skin beneath my jaw starting to sag. It really annoyed me and I thought years of bad habits had finally caught up with me.
How to actually apply your products I ended up training as a skincare therapist for mature skin and the very first thing I learned was that how we apply our skincare must change. Applying products gently is essential because gravity simply does not need any help. We must stop grabbing a huge amount and slapping it into our palms.
Instead of dragging the skin you want to use light circular motions. Apply a tiny drop using just the tips of your fingers nice and gently on the top of the skin. Work your creams in using gentle upward sweeps. If you push and stretch the skin you are moving it too much and pulling it down further. Treat your face with a delicate touch to get the best results without causing unnecessary stress to thinner skin.
Reversing the clock with the right ingredients Now at fifty-eight I can honestly say that clan chin is not drooping down to my chest. It is entirely possible to see real results if you use the right ingredients alongside the right application technique. The difference for me was finally discovering a proper hydrolysed collagen cream rather than using something cheap that just sat on the surface of my skin.
When I decided to formulate my own products in Wales I wanted them to be handcrafted rather than mass produced so they get real results for women over fifty. While they are manufactured in England the heart of the formulations comes back to using high grade ingredients that actually absorb. A good quality skincare routine will work no matter what age you begin. You just need to be consistent apply it gently with your fingertips and stop giving gravity a helping hand.
