Skincare for All Generations
As we age, our skin undergoes many changes. Some, such as wrinkling, fine lines, uneven tone, and laxity are obvious. The underlying causes of these issues, on the other hand, can be much more difficult to address without the proper guidance. The good news is that everyone, no matter their age, can greatly improve the look, feel, and health of their skin while reducing the visual side effects accrued throughout each stage of life.
The Differences Between Young and Mature Skin
While everyone’s skin is unique and requires a regimen of products developed specifically for their individual needs, some things are universally true about both young and mature skin.
The first is that younger skin tends to be more prone to excess oil production and acne breakouts. Although acne is not relegated to younger patients alone—and many people well into their 40s and 50s remain troubled by the occasional pimple—adolescent skin is more apt to experience chronic and severe acne lesions. The reasoning behind this can be genetic, hormonal, or both. But increased oil production has its upsides as well.
Wrinkling and Other Signs of Aging
As a rule, the older we get, the more we lose our natural moisture levels. Oil production begins to decrease, collagen and elastin levels drop, and the skin becomes compromised. Factor in years of exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays as well as environmental stressors and the effects on our skin can be devastating.
For these reasons, it is important for more mature patients to use products that are high in antioxidants and hydroxy acids, and which help stimulate new collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Products like Correct and Complete offer potent anti-aging benefits and can even help reverse many of the most common signs of aging when used regularly. Other products, such as Stimulate and Optimize are antioxidant rich to help reduce oxidative stress, improve skin function, and keep the skin even, clear, and radiant.
Products Formulated for Targeted Areas
Some areas of our skin age at different rates than others. For instance, some patients experience relatively few wrinkles on their cheeks and forehead while the skin of their eyes, neck, and upper chest can appear prematurely aged and loose. BensiSkin offers products such as Rescue and Elevate to tighten, reduce wrinkling, and strength the skin of targeted areas that may become more susceptible as we age.
