How to Have Great Skin in Your 60s and 70s
Have you noticed that some people in their 60s and 70s have incredibly youthful and ageless-looking skin? Achieving this beautiful skin at any age is entirely in your hands. People in their 60s and 70s have commonalities that contribute to their healthy, fresh skin. I cover this in my IG “Here’s how to have great skin in your 60s and 70s!” Let’s take a look into what these commonalities are.
What people have in common whose skin is still beautiful into their 60s and 70s
The health and appearance of your skin are under your control, whether you’re in your 20s or your 70s. People with age-defying skin who are 60 and above have the same things in common that they’ve done consistently throughout their lives:
Protect their skin from the sun
Follow a healthy diet
Exercise and live a healthy lifestyle
Get enough sleep
Apply active ingredients to their skin–every day
These are the top five things that will keep your skin fresh and beautiful for years and years. I’m going to get into some details about each one of these points.
Mrs. J's must-haves.
SUN PROTECTION
Some exposure to the sun is healthy and gives you the vitamin D your body needs. Most people don’t realize that the amount of time you need to spend in the sun to achieve this is only about 15 minutes, just a few times a week. If you overdo it, you’re damaging your skin.
Aside from smoking, sun exposure is the number one aging accelerator. UVA rays are responsible for the aging effects. Over time, skin cells store sun exposure as cell memories. As we age, the cumulative effect of the sun causes the cells to stop producing collagen and begin to express unwanted, uneven pigmentation.
The cells retain the sun exposure over time as cell memories. The cells that control pigmentation and collagen production begin to express cumulative exposure to the sun. What we see as a result is collagen loss, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and other signs of age.
HEALTHY DIET AND HYDRATION
As the largest organ of the body, the condition of our skin reflects the health of our body. Staying very hydrated and eating healthy, unprocessed, and nutritious foods contribute to the overall health of the body. Healthy foods and plenty of water help to keep the organs and skin in very good condition.
Mrs. J at 35, 43, and 50.8 no makeup. 45 -50 years of age (for some sooner) is when your lifestyle habits start to show on your face. It is not too late to get started. It's nice to look youthful but the truth is your skin is your biggest organ your first line of defense, care for it accordingly
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
Exercise helps to boost collagen production, which helps maintain skin structure and vibrancy. At the same time, regular exercise helps increase blood
flow and circulation, which in turn brings a higher amount of nutrients and oxygen to the skin. The result is better skin tone and texture.
SLEEP
Getting enough sleep is an important part of skin health. Having enough sleep contributes to bright, beautiful skin, while a lack of sleep diminishes the blood supply to the skin. 7-9 hours of good sleep helps ensure your skin maintains its youthful flush and tone.
DAILY USE OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
There is no substitute for using the right active ingredients on your skin that work on the cellular level. Active ingredients reverse or prevent the signs of age, resulting in healthy, beautiful skin. The following ingredients are some of the most vital when it comes to achieving strong, elastic, healthy, and firm skin: Retinoids
Vitamin C
Growth Factors
Niacinamide
Hyaluronic acid
One important point to remember about using these ingredients effectively is that they must be applied to the skin consistently, twice a day.
Why is it important to use proper skincare ingredients consistently, twice a day?
Consistency is key when it comes to any major element of achieving and maintaining healthy skin, and the proper skincare ingredients are no exception. Active ingredients should be applied to the skin of the face and neck twice every day to achieve optimal results. You will not see results without this level of consistency. Instead, collagen production will diminish again, hyperpigmentation will concern, and your skin will become dull again. Only with consistency will you achieve clear, luminous, balanced, and healthy skin.
One of the reasons I bring up consistency is that it can be difficult to be consistent when your skincare routine is complicated. For years, I worked with patients who struggled to be consistent with multi-step skincare routines, too many products to juggle. It’s almost impossible to be consistent when your skincare routine is incredibly complex.
