The teenage years
When you're a teenager, going through puberty, and your hormones are in a mess, it can have dramatic effects on your skin. It often becomes more oily and pimples, spots and various acne problems are common. This type of skin can linger for many years, and in middle age you can sometimes get this type of problem skin back - even then the reason is often hormonal changes such as menopause.
Solution: Don't peel or pinch! It makes the condition worse. Dirt and sweat can clog pores, so use a facial cleanser that helps to gently cleanse the skin. Also use a face cream that moisturizes and balances sebum production.
Age 25
Already at the age of 25, your skin starts to change, both by lifestyle and environment. The epidermis and dermis start to thin, and you can see the first fine lines on the face but especially around the eyes. Collagen, a protein in the body that, among other things, makes the skin supple, starts to diminish from within. But remember that collagen is also affected from the outside, by the sun and smoking, for example.
Solution: Use a face cream that moisturizes and nourishes your skin. You can also start using a facial peeling a couple of times a week to stimulate cell renewal.
In your 30s
Now the skin's layers start to become even thinner. The skin's barrier function becomes weaker, causing moisture loss to increase. Hyaluronic acid, a substance that makes our skin 'plump', starts to diminish - and the body doesn't make as much of this moisture-binding acid anymore. Collagen continues to decline by about one percent per year, resulting in more fine lines and wrinkles.
Solution: Add a collagen supplement to boost your skin from within. Invest in anti-ageing skincare and swap your face cream for one that is more active.
40 - years old
When we can count to 40 years on our fingers, fewer cells start to form, making the epidermis even thinner. Collagen and hyaluronic acid continue to decline, leading to more wrinkles and often drier skin. Now, various forms of hyperpigmentation can also appear, so it is wise to start with so-called active skin care. And of course, always remember to protect yourself from the sun with SPF - but this applies to all ages!
Solution: Continue with collagen powder and take your anti-ageing cream to the next level with our Original Cream. You can now also add a facial peel and a face mask as an extra boost to strengthen and repair your skin, a couple of times a week.
In their 50s
The skin becomes thinner, less able to repair itself and drier. Wrinkles and lines deepen and increase in number, and reduced skin elasticity and volume can cause a noticeable change in facial contours. Skin can now look and feel different. At this age, many women enter menopause (or have been there for several years), which usually results in even drier skin. Now is the time to boost your skin with active skincare and anti-ageing.
Solution: Drink collagen and continue to moisturize your skin with an active anti-ageing cream. This can be complemented with a moisturizing and softening cream in the evening. Complement with a gentle exfoliator and a strengthening and repairing face mask a couple of times a week to boost the skin.
The 60s
From 60 onwards, the skin's own ability to produce lipids, i.e. fat, has decreased. And collagen and hyaluronic acid production is now almost non-existent. The result is not only thinner, drier and more sensitive skin - but also skin with even less elasticity. The volume of the skin, now even more reduced, can give us a sunken and hollow appearance. Skin becomes more sensitive to UV rays and is more prone to hyperpigmentation (age spots). The skin's immune system is weakened, making it more susceptible to infections and reducing our ability to heal.
Solution: Drink collagen. If you feel your skin is getting drier, it may be time to replace your anti-ageing cream with a face cream that moisturizes and softens. Continue to use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week, and then apply a mask that embeds your skin in even more moisture.
