Your sixties are a time for sweet reminiscences. You can look back at your life and bask in the warmth of cherished memories be it school times, college years, love, career, marriage, children and/or even grandchildren now! However the sixties are also a time when your skin needs intensive care and nourishment because age and time have taken a toll on it.

Here are some tips to rejuvenate your skin during your 60's so that your skin feels firmer and becomes more radiant.

AProper Diet
Skin care is as much about what goes in your body as it is about what you apply to the outside. Therefore, unless you nourish your body from within, there is no way you can seek healthy and glowing skin. Make sure you eat a proper diet comprising of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. As you grow older, you should increase the intake of Vitamin A and Vitamin E enriched foods. This is to replenish the natural amounts of vitamins within the body. Vitamin A and Vitamin E promote new cell growth within the skin surface and make it appear more radiant. This is essential for the natural cell regeneration process of the body. So make sure you eat lots of green and yellow vegetables!

Always Wear Sunscree

All the prime signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and sagging skin are a result of prolonged and unprotected sun exposure. Make sure you use a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects the skin against the UVA as well as the UVB rays of the sun. The ultraviolet radiations of the sun can penetrate through the skin surface and cause intrinsic damage. Apart from promoting premature aging and damaging skin tissues, it can also lead to skin cancer. Therefore, the importance of applying sunscreen cannot be undermined at any cost.

Use Rich Moisturizing Creams & Lotions
As we age, our skin loses moisture and becomes dry and tight. It develops a wrinkled texture and appears dull and lifeless. This dryness is caused by the hormonal changes, loss of moisture from the upper layers of the skin and a decrease in intracellular lipids.

Always remember to moisturize your skin with a rich creamy moisturizer at least two times a day, once in the morning just after bath and once at night before going to bed. Make sure you clean your face thoroughly before moisturizing. Ideally, choose a moisturizer that contains ingredients like retinol and alpha hydroxyl acids. Use a rich moisturizing cream or lotion that is thick in consistency and nourishes the skin intensively.

Drink a Lot of Water
Fats are an intrinsic part of the skin structure and are responsible for the plumpness and firmness. However, with age the fat layer begins to shrink and fails to regenerate. This process further leads to the loss of moisture and causes dryness and wrinkles on the skin.

By drinking lots of water, you can replenish the lost moisture levels and hydrate your skin intrinsically.

Follow a Special Skin Care Regime

As we age, our skin becomes dry and fragile and can be easily ruptured. And once damaged, it takes a longer time to heal as well. Therefore, you need to use a specialized skin care regimen that supplements your skin with intensive nourishment and care. Use mild creamy cleansers to wash your face and gentle scrubs to exfoliate. In addition, you can also use skin care products that contain retinoids and anti-oxidants that help the skin regenerate the cells.

Product Suggestions:nniS Clinical Youth Complex – It is a unique anti-wrinkle formulation that offers immediate, short term and long term benefit against wrinkles and other signs of aging.

It also promotes controlled exfoliation of the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin fibers.

Clayton Shagal Colhy Gel – It is a clinical strength gel that helps replace the lost collagen in the body and delays the appearance of wrinkles and fine facial lines.
