According to Dr. Tran Ngoc Phuong - Department of Skin Aesthetics, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, skin may show signs of aging as you get older. Fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of elasticity are the most common, noticeable signs of aging skin .
Continue sun protection
Once you reach your 60s , the results of sun exposure accumulated over time can begin to appear in the form of brown spots.
These brown spots reflect previous sun damage, but it's important to continue sun protection to prevent the spots from getting darker.
Applying a skin lightening cream may help. Exfoliate several times per week to improve the appearance of your skin.
Retinol and vitamin C
Retinol (also known as Vitamin A1) is an important ingredient for people age 60 and older. Retinol and vitamin C help increase skin elasticity in postmenopausal women.
Retinol helps increase elastin and collagen production, reducing water loss through the skin. At the same time, it improves skin elasticity and reduces absorption of ultraviolet radiation
Whole body skin care
It is important to pay attention to the hands, neck, and chest because these areas will continue to show signs of aging over time, and the skin will become thinner and more wrinkled. Therefore, you should always keep these skin areas moisturized.
Use gentle, fragrance-free bath products to avoid irritation. Use warm water when bathing.
In addition, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to your body within 3 minutes after bathing
Use a humidifier when the air is dry
Protect your skin from chemicals and harsh sunlight, such as wearing gloves when cleaning or gardening, and applying sunscreen daily on your face, ears, and neck.
