The skin and age

How the skin changes and what it needs according to age

The skin at 60: Thin, delicate, and in need of deep nourishment

< p class="cmsp469-font-lora cmsp469-font-bold text-lg cmsp469-lg:hidden">The skin at 60: Thin, delicate, and in need of deep nourishment

At 60, the skin becomes thinner and more delicate, requiring special care and nourishment. The loss of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for firmness and elasticity, weakens the skin's resistance to age and sun exposure. Dryness and sensitivity can result from a reduction in natural oils. Deep nourishment is essential for maintaining skin health and vitality.

The skin at 50: Firmness, hormonal changes, and wrinkles

At 50, the skin undergoes noticeable aging changes, which are exacerbated by the decrease in estrogen in women going through menopause. We notice changes in texture, hydration, and pigmentation. The loss of facial volume and fat makes the skin appear less firm. Moisturizing the skin and using products containing retinol or peptides is crucial. Sun protection is essential to counteract the fact that the skin is slower to repair itself, which makes it difficult to hide signs of external damage during this decade.

The skin at 40: Sun exposure and hyperpigmentation. Cumulative damage starts to become visible

Around the age of 40, sun exposure begins to show up as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and a more uneven complexion. Overexposure to the sun, combined with a lack of prevention, causes a decrease in collagen and elastin production, resulting in a loss of firmness and elasticity. This contributes to sagging skin, which causes more visible wrinkles and expression lines. To address these challenges, follow a skincare routine that includes moisturizing, sun protection, and anti-aging products for areas such as the eye contour, hands, and face.

The skin at 30: Stress, sun, and lifestyle

p>In your 30s, you may notice the first expression lines forming around your eyes and lips. Stress, unprotected sun exposure, and a hectic lifestyle can contribute to the formation of free radicals that damage the skin and accelerate aging. To care for your skin in your 30s, you should follow a skincare routine that includes gentle and regular cleansing to remove impurities, constant moisturizing to keep the skin balanced, and daily sun protection to prevent future damage.

The skin at 20: Developing good habits and care

The skin at 20: Developing good habits and skincare

At this age, the skin is usually at its best. Developing long-term skincare habits is critical. A gentle yet effective facial cleansing removes impurities and oil. Moisturizing with a suitable cream keeps the skin soft. Daily sun protection is crucial to prevent cumulative damage that causes premature aging, such as wrinkles and skin spots. Apply SPF 50 sunscreen every day, even when it’s overcast.

We develop formulas that target the signs of aging at their source

Lullage creates radiance products and formulas based on the skin's natural mechanisms, which are used to enhance radiance and a luminous complexion. How?

Repairing the skin from stress and pollution

Stress is a constant companion in modern life, and its effects on the skin are evident. When we are tired and nervous, our bodies release hormones such as cortisol, which can cause a variety of negative skin reactions. Blood flow to the skin decreases, resulting in less oxygen and essential nutrients being delivered to the skin. As a result, the skin can become dull and prone to imperfections and premature aging.

We are constantly exposed to environmental pollution, and the skin is one of the most heavily affected areas. Fine particles and pollution in the air can accumulate on the skin’s surface, clogging pores and causing inflammation. Pollution can also produce free radicals, which are unstable molecules that damage skin cells and cause elasticity loss, wrinkles, and skin spots.

The skin’s circadian clock is an internal system that regulates biological processes and their functioning throughout the day and night. This circadian clock influences cell renewal, collagen production, and other processes that are vital for the skin’s health and appearance. Stress negatively affects and can damage the skin’s circadian clock, resulting in reduced cell regeneration and a decreased ability to repair itself.

Deciphering the power of epigenetics

Skin epigenetics explains how certain genes can be turned on or off depending on the environment and our habits, directly affecting the appearance and health of the skin. In short, facial skin epigenetics is about how our actions and environment can influence our appearance and skin aging.

Epigenetics plays an important role in the skin’s aging process and response to external factors such as sun exposure and the environment. These epigenetic changes can alter genes that control the production of collagen, elastin, and other proteins required for skin health and appearance.

Cosmetic products and treatments can positively influence the skin’s epigenetic modifications. There are cosmetics that work by activating the genes responsible for collagen and elastin production, while deactivating the genes related to premature aging.

Epigenetics provides us with a new approach to addressing skin aging and keeping our skin healthy and radiant over time.
