Aging is a beautiful journey, and with the appropriate care, it’s possible to look and feel radiant at any age. After 60, the skin naturally undergoes significant changes. You would have lost around 80% of your natural collagen.
Embracing aging doesn’t mean fighting it. It means supporting your skin and body with the right treatments, skincare, and lifestyle choices that help you feel your best at all times.
The Power of a Thoughtful Skincare Routine After 60
A well-curated skincare regime makes all the difference.
HYDRATE SKIN REGULARLY A rich moisturiser containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid helps lock in moisture, especially when paired with hydrating treatments like skinboosters or Plinest, a potent DNA extract from trout fish that kickstarts the repair healing process in the skin.
DAILY SUN PROTECTION Wearing SPF50 daily slows down skin ageing due to sun exposure and helps maintain your anti-ageing regime.
RETINOL FOR SKIN RENEWAL A mild retinol or peptide-based serum encourages collagen protection, working alongside in-clinic treatments to maintain skin elasticity.
ANTIOXIDANT BOOST Regular dose of Vitamin C and E serums protect your skin against free radical damage and brighten the complexion, complementing any skin-brightening treatments that target pigmentation.
GENTLE EXFOLIATION Mild chemical exfoliants (like lactic acid) help refresh the skin, making the most of treatments that enhance cell renewal.
Lifestyle Habits for Graceful Aging
Putting yourself through a strict regime of skincare won’t be useful if your lifestyle habits are not ideal. Holistic wellness plays a vital role in restoring balance and achieving optimal health, allowing your outer appearance to radiate the well-being within.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to support skin health.
NOURISH FROM WITHIN A diet rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and lean proteins helps maintain skin elasticity.
KEEP MOVING Regular exercise improves circulation, which keeps the skin looking vibrant because micro-nutrients required for the skin is regularly circulating to the skin.
GET SUFFICIENT SLEEP Quality sleep allows the skin and body to repair and regenerate overnight.
MANAGE STRESS LEVELS Activities like yoga, meditation, or simply enjoying a hobby that takes your mind off stressors can help to recalibrate your mind and manage stress level better.
Nurturing Your Skin with the Right Treatments
After hitting 60, your skin will visibly droop, as gravity and collagen depletion cause sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. While excellent skincare and lifestyle habits help to slow down ageing, some medical treatments play an important role to significantly reduce signs of skin ageing.
Ultherapy Prime provides an extra boost to your collagen deep within the skin so that loose skin will gradually tighten and lift over the next 2-3 months post-treatment. This widely popular skin-lifting technique gradually tightens and firms, restoring definition to your features without downtime.
Hydration is another key factor in maintaining a youthful glow.
Skin tends to lose moisture with age, leading to dryness and fine lines. Skinboosters, such as Profhilo infuses hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, deeply hydrating and plumping, improving elasticity and texture of the skin. Paired with a nourishing moisturiser at home, this can keep your skin looking dewy and supple.
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation often become more noticeable over time due to sun exposure and hormonal changes. While a good Vitamin C serum can brighten the skin, treatments like Pico laser helps to fade dark spots and enhance overall radiance. By targeting pigmentation, laser treatments even out the complexion, giving you a clearer, healthier look.
For those seeking an overall rejuvenation, CO2 laser is a powerful way to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture. By encouraging new cell turnover, this treatment helps reveal fresher, firmer skin, complementing your home routine of gentle exfoliation and hydration.
Confidence after 60 comes from feeling comfortable in your skin.
By combining the right home-based routine and minor aesthetic tweaks, you can maintain a refreshed, natural glow. Whether it’s lifting sagging skin, restoring hydrating, or evening out skin tone, personalized skin treatments from your aesthetic doctor can complement your efforts and help you age more gracefully, on your own terms.
After all, aging isn’t always about trying to turn back time – it’s about moving forward with grace and confidence.
