WHAT NATURAL COSMETICS TO CHOOSE FOR MATURE SKIN

DOES MATURE SKIN REQUIRE SPECIAL NATURAL COSMETICS?

Mature skin will sooner or later be the skin of every woman. This is a type of skin that is inevitably associated with the passage of time. Some women try so hard to hide the signs of their age that they decide to undergo plastic surgery, suction, fillers or injections of various types of products. This is certainly a method for mature skin, but it certainly carries many risks both in terms of the procedure itself. It is worth considering whether not to use the power of plants and minerals that natural cosmetics provide in the care of mature skin.

HOW TO REMOVE MAKE-UP FROM MATURE SKIN?

Certainly, an important step in the daily care of mature skin is its proper cleansing. Natural cosmetics will certainly be an ally here, because they will thoroughly remove all impurities from the skin, but will not expose it to excessive drying, which contributes to deepening wrinkles. Effective natural cosmetics make-up remover can be prepared at home. Oil-based products are very good for mature skin, as they will ensure its softness and help maintain the right elasticity. They will be perfect for both dry and oily skin, as well as sensitive skin. Simply apply a properly prepared make-up remover to the dry skin of the entire face - also to the eyelids and eyelashes. Then gently massage it into the skin and then wash it off with a cotton pad soaked in warm water.

CAN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN NATURAL COSMETICS FOR MAKE-UP REMOVAL FOR MATURE SKIN?

Just mix half a cup of good quality extra virgin olive oil with one tablespoon of jojoba oil. The oils should be mixed well and stored in a dark, preferably glass bottle in a cool and sunny place. Natural cosmetics based on oils intended for removing makeup can also be prepared with more exotic ingredients. Just mix two tablespoons of:

• extra virgin olive oil,
• hazelnut oil,
• kukui nut oil,
• two drops of neroli oil,
• two drops of rose grass oil,
• two drops of frankincense oil.

This and other natural cosmetics based on oils should also be stored best in a dark, airtight glass container in a cool place. You can also use proven natural cosmetics for make-up removal that are also good for mature skin, such as the Nourishing Bio Make-up Remover Oil Neem - Indian Neem Orientana.

WHICH NATURAL COSMETICS ARE SUITABLE FOR MAKE-UP REMOVAL FOR MATURE SKIN?

With oily mature skin, you can also safely use oil-based products, but you can also prepare natural cosmetics based on water or soap. These natural cosmetics based on water (for example, various types of floral waters, distillates, herbal infusions, tinctures, fruit juices, aloe gel and the addition of glycerin or apple cider vinegar) will certainly not remove impurities from the face as well as natural cosmetics with oils. However, they can be beneficial for mature skin during periods of particular dryness or excessive sensitivity or be used to wash mature skin in the morning to remove remnants of night care. Of course, there are also special natural cosmetics based on soap, which can be created at home. By modifying their composition, you can match them to the needs of any skin, including mature skin. They are based, for example, on liquid castile soap and are added to them, among others:

• clay,
• sugar,
• almond flour,
• various types of essential oils
• small amounts of vegetable oils

It is worth remembering that removing makeup only with micellar fluid is not a good solution for mature skin. This type of fluid only works on the skin's surface and removes only the top layer of impurities that the skin collects throughout the day, i.e. the main remnants of makeup combined with dust and environmental pollutants as well as dirt that we ourselves have transferred to the skin by touching it with our hands, hair, scarves, etc. It is important, however, to cleanse, preferably with appropriate natural cosmetics, also the inside of the pores and deeper layers of the skin. Classic soap, which some women still use, is also not a good solution and in the case of mature skin can accelerate its aging. Aggressive detergents, which can also be found in some natural cosmetics (always read the ingredients!) seriously disturb the skin's balance by destroying its hydrolipid coat, dry it out and cause wrinkles to be more visible on parchment-thin skin deprived of moisture, and the face oval loses elasticity. Therefore, it is worth choosing natural cosmetics from proven brands that contain rich plant extracts, oils and, above all, have scientifically proven beneficial effects, such as the Moisturizing Organic Face Wash Foam Kantola - Japanese Gourdlina Orientana. A very interesting proposition in the field of natural cosmetics for mature skin may be a cosmetic for self-preparation at home, which will combine effective make-up removal with proper hydration, protection and relief based on castile soap with the addition of:

• aloe vera gel (two tablespoons)
• a spoonful of finely ground oat flakes,
• a spoonful of argan oil,
• a spoonful of vegetable glycerin
• your favorite essential oils (e.g. rose).

WHICH PEELS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR MATURE SKIN?

After removing make-up, it is definitely worth taking care of proper hydration and care of mature skin, but once a week it is also worth doing a peeling. In the case of mature skin, it is good to use all stages of care not only on the face, but also on the skin of the neck and décolleté, which can reveal a woman's chronological age much more than the skin on the face beautified and retouched with make-up. The function of peeling is not only to exfoliate dead skin cells, but also to cleanse pores and stimulate skin circulation. If mature skin is in good condition, it is worth using a good quality grainy peeling once a week, which can be chosen from a wide range of natural cosmetics available on the market. Sugar-based peelings, which firm the complexion, will work perfectly. On the other hand, adding salt to all natural cosmetics for the face may work better for oily and contaminated skin. In the case of mature skin, peelings should be used a maximum of twice a week, maintaining at least a three-day break between subsequent treatments. Before applying the peeling, cleanse the face of any remnants of make-up. Then, moisten the clean skin with warm water. It is worth applying a portion of the peeling to your hands first and gently rubbing it in, and only then applying it to the skin. The cosmetic is applied to the face in a thin layer, while massaging the skin in circular motions for about 2 minutes. In the case of the Natural Creamy Papaya and Indian Ginseng Facial Peeling, it is worth leaving it on the face much longer - up to five minutes after the massage, so that papain, a natural enzyme that evens out the skin tone, has a chance to work. Then, wash off the peeling with a large amount of warm water. Among natural cosmetics, you can also find many enzymatic peels intended mainly for sensitive skin.

CAN YOU PREPARE A PEELING FOR MATURE SKIN BY YOURSELF?

If the owner of mature skin decides to make her own natural cosmetics at home, which will effectively exfoliate the epidermis, even out the skin tone and improve the absorption of the care products applied afterwards, then she can definitely do it. A simple scrub can be prepared from:

• almond oil,
• hemp seed oil,
• vegetable glycerin,
• finely ground oat flakes,
• sugar
• favorite essential oil.

The ingredients used will certainly not only cleanse thoroughly, but also perfectly moisturize the skin, which is very important in the case of mature skin. Additionally, they will also brighten the complexion and restore its even color. For more delicate mature skin, you can try to create natural cosmetics at home based on:

• powdered herbs,
• dried flowers,
• small cereals.

These may be, for example, ground rose petals, lemon or orange peels, or cornmeal.

WHICH NATURAL MASKS ARE SUITABLE FOR MATURE SKIN?

A face mask will be a great complement to peeling, which, when applied to well-prepared skin, will allow the substances contained in it to penetrate deep into the skin, moisturizing it and rejuvenating its appearance. In the case of mature skin, it is best to use masks based on butters, oils, and delicate but highly nourishing ingredients such as:

• honey,
• floral waters,
• cream.

After thoroughly washing off the peeling and drying the face, apply a nourishing mask, which should remain on the face for about 20 minutes. As you know, in adulthood, you need to be more careful about the amount of sweets you eat, but this rule does not apply to the skin. Natural cosmetics prepared on the basis of cocoa and chocolate will perfectly nourish the complexion, improve its color, and the addition of, for example, a banana will have a soothing effect. It is also worth taking advantage of the beneficial effects of clays. However, clays contained in natural cosmetics can very dry the skin and emphasize its imperfections. Therefore, in the case of mature skin, a combination of appropriate clays with oils will be perfect. The ideal composition of such ingredients, perfect for mature skin, is, for example, the Natural Almond and Saffron Clay Mask. People with mature skin that is not sensitive can also try using forgotten "steam baths", i.e. facial saunas, which they certainly remember from their early youth, when access to beauty salons and a wide range of treatments was not as common as today.

IS TONING A NECESSITY?

An important element of skin care is also the use of toner. Many women forget about it or do not attach importance to its use, and wrongly so. A good toner is one of the natural cosmetics, the use of which can pay off with a more beautiful appearance of the skin after just a few days. For mature skin, it is worth using toners based on floral water - for example rose water. In fact, all the described stages, i.e. cleansing with make-up removal, peeling, masks and toner are extremely important stages in skin care with natural cosmetics.

WHICH CREAMS AND OILS FOR MATURE SKIN SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

The proper preparation of the skin determines whether the cosmetic we apply to it in the form of a cream will have a chance to work. Mature skin will certainly love oils that can be used at night as standalone natural cosmetics care or under the cream – rubbing a few drops into dry areas. It is worth noting that creams used on the face do not have to be greasy. Properly conducted care based on natural cosmetics will ensure that the complexion maintains its firmness and hydrolipid balance and will not shine unsightly during the day but will also not be dry and thin, which makes wrinkles visible.

DOES THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES HAVE TO REVEAL AGE?

Among the many brands available on the market, you can also find those that offer excellent quality natural cosmetics for the care of the skin around the eyes. Due to the specific needs of the delicate and thin skin around the eyes and the fact that these cosmetics can easily cause allergies, it is worth first gaining experience in preparing natural cosmetics at home and only then starting to produce them for your own use. That is why it is worth using proven brands of natural cosmetics - for mature skin, the Natural Complex Bio Eye Cream Regenerating and Rejuvenating will work great.
