As we age, our skin goes through various changes. It becomes thinner, less elastic, and more fragile. We also start to notice wrinkles, age spots, and dry patches. But aging doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful, radiant skin. At White Rock Dermatology, we believe that with the right skincare routine and treatments, you can age gracefully and keep your skin looking its best. 

Understanding Your Skin

The first step to taking care of mature skin is understanding what happens to it as we age. With time, the production of natural oils decreases, leading to dryness and itchiness. Additionally, fat in the deeper layers of the skin, which provides support to the surface, starts to deplete, causing loose, saggy skin and pronounced lines.

Since dryness is a common issue, moisturizing becomes an essential part of your skincare routine. Use a moisturizer that is rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which can help to draw water into the skin and keep it hydrated.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Sun exposure speeds up the aging process, causing wrinkles and age spots. Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every day, even when it’s cloudy. Our blog on Skin Cancer provides more information on the effects of sun exposure.

Invest in Anti-Aging Treatments

Consider treatments such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing to address specific concerns like deep wrinkles or age spots. Our experienced dermatologists can guide you to the most suitable treatment option for your skin. Visit our cosmetic services page to learn more.

Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle

A healthy diet and regular exercise can go a long way in keeping your skin glowing. Foods rich in antioxidants can help fight damage caused by free radicals, while exercise improves circulation, helping to nourish skin cells.
