Your Guide to Skincare in Your Golden Years

Our med spa in Denver aims to help you love the skin you’re in–at any age! Our skin naturally changes as we age, and it can be challenging to find a new routine. If you’re looking for the best ways to care for mature skin, our team of experts is here to help. Check out the tips below to keep your skincare game strong now and in the future: 

Prioritize Sun Protection

The best thing you can do for your skin is apply sun protection throughout the day. Choose a broad-spectrum product with a minimum SPF level of 30. Broad-spectrum sunscreen effectively blocks UVA and UVB rays, and an SPF rating of 30+ provides the best protection against sunburn. Remember that waterproof sunscreen is only water-resistant for 40 to 80 minutes, so reapply frequently if this applies to your activities. While at it, wear protective clothing such as a hat with a wide brim and long sleeves whenever possible. 

Up the Ante with Moisturization

As we age, our skin becomes less effective at staying hydrated. It’s normal for skin to lose elasticity and moisture with time, but you can combat these concerns by choosing a heavy-duty moisturizer. We offer several excellent options here at Vive, including the profoundly hydrating Epicutis Hyvia Creme and Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer. For best results, moisturize in the morning and at night (after cleansing). 

Perform a Daily Facial Massage

If you’re experiencing dull-looking skin, redness, or puffiness, we encourage you to try facial massage. This step is simple to incorporate into your skincare routine and can be done anytime. Whether you use your fingertips or a roller tool, you’ll benefit from increased cell turnover and collagen production. 

Indulge in Professional Treatments

If you want an extra boost for your skin health, we’ve got you covered!
