Mature skin is simply a polite way to say "old skin," reports anti-aging expert Paula Begoun. Mature skin isn't clinically defined, but is commonly drier than younger skin and typically has more wrinkles. Several over-the-counter skin creams, designed for mature skin, can help treat and condition your skin for a rejuvenated complexion.
Olay Total Effects Mature Skin Therapy
Begoun, who annually tests hundreds of skincare treatments, found Olay's mature skin cream to perform above and beyond her expectations. She says it's the company's answer for menopausal and post-menopausal skin conditions. She found it to contain "several state-of-the-art ingredients" that can help rejuvenate and recondition the skin's appearance, and says it contains more antioxidants than any other product in the Total Effects line. It also includes cosmetic pigments that immediately enhance your complexion.
Doctor's Dermatologic Formula Moisturizing PhotoAge Protection SPF 30
DDF's moisturizing cream was chosen by "InStyle" magazine's editors as one of the best sun care products for mature skin. Dr. Tina Alster, a dermatologist reviewing the cream for the magazine, liked its use of various antioxidants that can help correct poor skin tone. It includes moisturizers that help restore your skin's natural moisture barrier; while titanium dioxide and other sunscreen ingredients prevent premature signs of aging.
L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Pro-Calcium Eye & Lip Cream for Mature, Fragile Skin
L'Oreal's cream targets the delicate skin on and around your lips and in your sensitive eye area. Begoun says it includes the company's trademark calcium blend in a thick, emollient base that leaves your skin feeling "smoother" and also helps to "soften the appearance of wrinkles." It also comes without irritating synthetic fragrances, perfect if you have sensitive skin.
Decleor Baume Excellence Regenerating Night Balm
Decleor's extra-thick night cream is designed for dry, mature skin. It's formulated with natural ingredients like soothing plant oils that help trap moisture in your skin for a potentially plumper, softer look and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains shea butter, a common emollient in skincare products, and antioxidant-rich herbal extracts.
