This Mature Skincare range of natural, sustainable beauty products is suited to help maintain skin vibrance, elasticity and texture for longer and help combat the signs of ageing and the damaging effects of the sun. Choosing products with added vitamins and antioxidants will keep collagen levels up and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Protected and properly looked-after skin is healthy skin, and healthy skin is happy skin, whatever your age.
Factors contributing to mature skin are:
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes can play a role in the development of mature skin. As we age, our hormone levels decline, decreasing collagen and elastin production, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin.
Collagen and elastin: Collagen and elastin are two essential proteins that give skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, our body produces less of these proteins, which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin.
Skincare routine: A good skincare routine for mature skin should include cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, and sun protection. Using gentle, non-irritating products specifically formulated for mature skin is essential. Avoid overusing harsh scrubs or exfoliants, as they can cause irritation and damage to the skin.
Lifestyle changes: In addition to using skincare products, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and eating a healthy diet can also help improve the appearance of mature skin.
What are the best skincare products for mature skin? And how can I reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines?
Moisturiser: A good moisturiser can help keep the skin hydrated, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Look for a moisturiser that contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, such as the UpCircle Beauty Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, glycerin, such as the Silvan Skincare Soothe Face Cream, or ceramides contained in Goats Milk products.
Sunscreen: As mentioned above, sunscreen such as UpCircle Beauty SPF 25 Mineral Sunscreen with at least SPF 25 daily is essential for mature skin.
Retinoids: Topical retinoids, such as retinol, can help increase collagen production and cell turnover, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Look for Goats Milk products or use the UpCircle Night Cream.
Antioxidants: Topical antioxidants, such as vitamin C, found in Silvan Skincare's Rejuvenate for Mature Skin can help protect the skin from free radical damage and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Peptides: Peptides are small amino acid chains that can help stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

What are some practical ways to exfoliate mature skin?
