The best skin care regime for mature skin is to use products that hydrate and stimulate cell renewal to help keep it supple and healthy.
Mature skin is usually quite drier in texture with a tendency to have broken blood vessels and age spots. It is also prone to thinning, sagging and wrinkles.
Follow this skin care regime for mature skin daily so your skin looks and feels its best.
Morning skin care routine for Mature Skin
Step 1. Cleanse
Cleanse your skin in the morning with a Exfoliating Wash to help boost cell turnover.
Step 2. Rinse
Thoroughly rinse all traces of cleanser from your face and neck with warm water. Then pat your face dry taking care not to rub your skin as this may cause irritation.
Step 3. Exfoliate (recommend twice a week)
Gently exfoliating your skin will slough away any dry flaky patches of skin, which will help your skin care products work properly.
As a general rule of thumb, exfoliate your skin no more than twice a week.
Exfoliating every day may make your skin become drier.
Exfoliate your skin in the morning as your skin renews itself overnight.
Apply your exfoliant over a wet face, gently slough away dry flaky skin. Rinse and pat dry.
Step 4. Toner
Apply Toner or Rosewater mist to your skin with a gentle cotton round and pat into your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area as this can become more prone to dryness.
Step 5. Sunscreen
It is important to use a Sunscreen even on cloudy days. Apply a sunscreen with a SPF+50 factor onto your face, neck, backs of your hands and your decolletage area (right down to your nipple line).
Allow the sunscreen to soak in before continuing with the next step.
Step 6. Eye cream (optional)
Eye cream moisturises your eyes. Gently patting a pea-size amount of cream on the undereye area with your ring finger, (which applies the least pressure).
Start below the inner corners of eyes and move out toward your temples using a gentle tapping motion, apply along cheek and brow bone.
Step 7. Moisturiser
Apply moisturiser formula to the back of your hand and from there apply a dot to your forehead, nose, each cheek, chin, neck and decolletage, using light upward strokes to massage it in.
Step 8. Makeup Application
Wait a few minutes before applying your make-up.
Step 9. Set
Mist your face with Rosewater to add more hydration and set your make-up in place.

Step 2. Cleanse
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser. Rinse all traces of cleanser from your face with warm water.
Then pat your face dry, taking care not to rub your skin as this may cause irritation.
Step 3. Rinse

Step 4: Mask (optional)

Apply Toner or Rosewater mist to your skin with a gentle cotton round and pat into your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area as this can become more prone to dryness.
Step 6. Serum
Serums penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of active ingredients.
This makes them a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns, like fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.
Always apply your serum directly to your skin after cleansing or toning and before your moisturizer and sunscreen.
Apply serum to your face, neck and decolletage. Allow the serum to soak in before continuing with other products.

When looking for eye creams, check for formulas that have peptides, to boost hydration and help firm the skin to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Step 8. Moisturise
Apply moisturiser formula to the back of your hand and from there apply a dot to your forehead, nose, to each cheek, chin, neck using light upward strokes to gently massage it into your skin.
Massage the remainder into your decolletage and backs of your hands.
