Q: I am finding as I get older my skin is becoming dryer and dryer. What can I do to get some moisture back into my skin?
A: It is a naturally occurring phenomenon as we age that our skin becomes rougher, slacker and thinner and cellular renewal slows down.
Many factors affect the way in which our skin ages, including lifestyle, diet and other personal habits such as drinking and smoking, to good old-fashioned genetics.
Dry skin in later life is common due to a loss of oil glands as we age. Other factors are not drinking enough water, prolonged exposure to the sun, being in dry air and over use of soaps, antiperspirants and hot baths.
So possible causes for the dryness identified, let’s address what can be done to restore the skin’s equilibrium.
Stage one: exfoliation is key as it sloughs away the dead surface layer of the skin, leaving it bright and revitalised.
Clarins offer the beautifully scented Tonic Body Polisher. Designed to exfoliate the skin with natural sea salt for ultra-smooth soft and comfortable skin, while essential oils of mint, rosemary and geranium promote a feeling of wellbeing and revitalise the senses.
As a result of exfoliating, the freshly exposed healthy skin is able to better absorb stage two in the attack on dryness: daily moisturiser.
Daily moisturising with a targeted product for dry skin and aging will also help restore smooth, even and youthful looking skin. Applying to regularly exfoliated skin will ensure the product is fully absorbed and not just sitting on the surface of the skin.
Clarins Renew Plus Body Serum is an age defying concentrate which combines the deeply renewing benefits of pro-retinol (vitamin A) and the hydrating action of water lily extract for skin that looks radiant, fresh and more youthful.
Used twice a day, wrinkled skin is progressively smoothed, slacked areas are diminished and skin is continuously moisturised to ensure optimal hydration.
I hope this will help you turn back the clock and restore the comfort of your skin. Should you need any further advice please call in at the salon and one of our team will be able to help you find the best products and treatments for your skin type.
