As soon as the magic 60 burns on the birthday cake, the condition of our skin also changes. At the end of the menopause, it is usually drier and often more sensitive than before. Wrinkles and fine lines also appear more frequently. Now is the time to treat yourself to a little more time for yourself and find the right care for mature skin.

Good face cream for skin over 60: less is more

Finding the right skincare is generally not easy. And skin becomes increasingly demanding and sensitive, especially as we get older. Allergies can also develop now. So the motto here is: Less is more. Care products with few or natural ingredients and without many additives are particularly suitable for mature skin. Avoid perfumed creams and soaps and opt for pH-neutral products or those with lipid-replenishing lipids. They support the skin's natural barrier and lipid film.

Moisturizing is also an important issue for facial care after 60. Products with urea or hyaluronic acid or plant-based substances such as evening primrose oil provide the skin cells with sufficient moisture.

Shopping tips for good face cream for over 60s

• Great offer for day and night care in a set: L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age ensures firmer skin
• Schaebens offers a 3-pack of capsules with a rejuvenating skin concentrate - for 21 applications
• Highly dosed moisture is available with the organic hyaluronic cream plus Q10 - works with a 4-fold anti-wrinkle complex

Plump up the complexion with the help of plant oil

Nourishment for mature skin: a rich argan nut-based facial oil prevents dry patches, boosts cell renewal and gives the face a rosy glow. Apply a few drops to a cleansed face every morning and gently pat into the skin with your fingertips. Brush the oil residue from your fingers into the ends of your hair. This provides a healthy shine effect and prevents split ends.

Skin care from 60: use body butter

The body also needs affection: Arms, legs, upper body and bottom need an extra portion of moisture and lipids. A rich body cream with shea butter is the best choice for this. It makes the skin soft and firm and repairs it with vitamin E. Massage generously into the skin before going to bed. This is good for you and has a wonderfully relaxing effect.

pH-neutral soaps with few additives are also recommended for cleansing. Skin and hair care products for babies, for example, are well suited as care for mature skin over 60, as they do not contain unnecessary additives and are pH-neutral.

Exercise and the right diet ensure a beautiful complexion

Fitness for the cells: Our physical condition also plays a major role in how fresh and healthy our skin looks. Regular exercise stimulates blood circulation: This allows more oxygen to be channeled into the skin cells. This ensures plumper skin. Even a half-hour walk in the woods or a daily bike ride to your favorite bakery is enough. A great side effect: regular exercise also keeps the heart, immune system and metabolism going.

Incidentally, a healthy diet also improves the appearance of the skin. Carrots, for example, are full of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The vitamin protects the skin from DNA damage that can be caused by too much sun, for example. Carotene is responsible for repairing and building skin cells. Walnuts, peppers, avocados and tomatoes also have properties that support our skin from the inside out.

Extra tip for mature skin: take care of your lips

Of course, we should not neglect our lips in our skincare routine. Lip balms or lip creams with oily ingredients such as almond oil or beeswax are particularly helpful in keeping sensitive skin elastic and supple. A lip contour gel moisturizes the area and prevents it from drying out. UV protection is also important and protects the skin from sunlight and increased wrinkling.
