Why Skin Changes After 60
After 60, collagen and elastin decline, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Skin also loses moisture and thins. According to the National Institute on Aging, aging skin repairs more slowly and becomes drier over time.
Key Ingredients to Look For
Effective creams often contain retinoids, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. Retinoids support cell turnover, peptides may help firmness, and hyaluronic acid adds hydration. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that these ingredients can improve texture and reduce visible signs of aging.
How to Choose and Use a Face Cream
Pick a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream suited for mature skin. Apply it to clean skin morning and night, and use sunscreen daily to protect against further damage. Consistent use and gentle cleansing help maximize results.
