A good face cream for over 50 - Orientan's natural suggestions to support mature skin
After the age of 50, skin naturally becomes drier, loses elasticity and firmness, and wrinkles become more visible. The environment, hormonal changes, and decreased sebum production exacerbate this weakened skin condition. It's worth noting that dry skin (xerosis) affects as many as 38% to 85% of older adults in various clinical studies. Aging skin facilitates moisture loss, leading to a rough, scaly surface and a thinning of the protective barrier. Therefore, a good face cream after the age of 50 should: Intensively moisturize and rebuild the protective barrier, Regenerate and firm the skin, Soothe irritations and even out skin tone, Have a strong antioxidant effect, supporting the fight against oxidative stress and wrinkles. In the following sections you will learn about the natural products from the Orientana brand that meet these goals. What does skin need after 50? Mature skin is characterized by: Loss of moisture – reduced activity of sebaceous and sweat glands, especially in women over 60, who may have as much as 40% less sebum production Reduced elasticity and firmness resulting from the decrease in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Dryness and itching, as confirmed by the experience of adults - itching occurs in approximately 33.7% of people over 50 years of age Susceptibility to discoloration, uneven color, increased sensitivity to oxidation.

SKIN AROUND THE EYES
The skin around the eyes requires a different care method than the rest of the facial skin. How can you ensure that you can enjoy a young, radiant look for a long time? Eye cream is an absolute must and we must invest in it, especially around the age of 25. That is when we start to notice fine lines and furrows under the eyes, and with time the first wrinkles. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and sensitive - it is up to 7 times thinner than in other parts of the face and has several dozen times fewer sebaceous glands. What's more, it has fewer collagen fibers. Hence, it quickly becomes dry, irritated, tight and less elastic. That is why it is important to sense the moment when we should start using eye cream! The consistency of the eye cream is important – it cannot be too heavy because the skin there is thin and delicate. Eye creams, compared to face creams, have a minimal amount of preservatives and very delicate scents to minimize the risk of allergies. What problems do we struggle with around the eyes most often and how to act? dark circles under the eyes , which make our face look tired and sad. Genes often have an influence on this, but also lack of sleep, fatigue or microcirculation disorders. In such a case, look for ingredients in the cream that improve the functioning of blood vessels, such as caffeine, arnica, butcher's broom, green tea or ginkgo biloba. You can also deal with dark circles by applying creams that optically brighten the skin due to the content of light-refracting ingredients, such as mica. • bags under the eyes , or puffiness around the eyes, which spoils our mood when we wake up in the morning. In this case, genetic conditions can also have an impact, but also an inappropriate diet (especially too much salt) or a bad lifestyle associated with lack of sleep. Lymphatic stasis is created, because blood around the eyes circulates slower. It is worth doing a massage of the eye area in the morning, which will improve microcirculation, and thus nourish and oxygenate the skin and help eliminate puffiness. A cold treatment performed, for example by tapping a cream chilled in the fridge, will work great. • crow's feet, also known as mimic wrinkles. At first, they only appear when we squint or laugh, but after some time they become permanent and add years to our look. How to deal with this? You should choose creams that contain anti-wrinkle substances such as stoechiol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E. They will smooth and reduce wrinkles and increase skin firmness. An innovative plant complex will have intensive anti-wrinkle effects: ginger extracts (Zingiber Offinale) and Alpinia Officinarum extracts extracted in rapeseed oil (Brassica Campestris) - a complex rich in phenols and natural vitamin E, has strong antioxidant properties (35 times stronger than the base oil itself), helps protect the skin from factors that accelerate the ageing process, regenerates the barrier functions of the epidermis. Snail slime also has a beneficial effect on our youthful look, as it contains collagen and elastin, which strengthen the skin, giving it elasticity and flexibility, and mucopolysaccharides, which protect the skin from ageing, support the production of collagen and help maintain moisture. When taking care of the eye area, remember to remove make-up properly. Since you already know how delicate and sensitive the epidermis is there, when choosing a make-up remover, be guided by the content of soothing and calming extracts, vegetable oils. Do not rub or excessively stretch the skin around the eyes. Precise make-up removal is the first step to a beautiful, deep and rested look. The cream patted onto the clean skin around the eyes will be able to work properly and develop the power of its action!!!
