Face Skin Care in Your 50’s
Your Skin in Your 50’s
In your 50’s, if you are a woman, you will probably be going through or have just gone through the menopause. Among many changes this means decreased levels of estrogen. A decrease in estrogen will lead to a significantly thinner and dryer skin. The hormonal changes may also lead to a temporary acne problem.
The breakdown of collagen and elastin, the skin’s structural proteins responsible for smooth and elastic skin, continues and becomes more prominent. This continues beyond your 50’s and so the skin care regime does not change significantly. After your 50’s the skin continues to become dryer. It’s turn over rate is slow and unless you exfoliate, there will be a build up of a hard, dead skin layer. You may already be experiencing a build up of a harder type of skin. If so, make sure you exfoliate. It will make your skin softer and bring back a brilliant glow.
Luckily, there are effective ways of dealing with the above issues. When you are 50 skin care products can really make a change.

Daily Skin Care Regimen
Unless you need a particular treatment, such as those outlined below, we recommend you use mild products that do not introduce toxins into your body. At this point your skin is thinner, dryer, and more sensitive. And so you do not want strong chemicals on a daily basis. Click here to see an excellent toxin free skin care line.
Each night before going to bed make sure you use:
- Creamy cleanser
- Toner
- Serum
- Moisturizer
Make sure your daily skin regimen products contain antioxidants, preferably more than one type. The toxic free skin care line we recommend contains potent antioxidants. In fact, it contains antioxidants that are 30 times more potent than those of green tea (widely used in skin care). These products also have collagen building and anti inflammatory ingredients.
At night you may want to use a cream with retinol. This will help boost your collagen, add firmness and diminish wrinkles in time.
In the morning, use a moisturizer and then put on a sunscreen with SPF 15-20 before heading out. Make sure to put sunscreen on your neck as well.

Particular Skin Issues
Rough, Uneven Skin Texture
Exchange your regular daily skin care regimen for the 180° System. It will re-texturize your skin. Do not do any galvanic treatments during this time, as your skin may be too sensible. Make sure you have moisturizers and hydrating masks handy when you do this program. The 180° program is an excellent alternative to the more harsh and invasive treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Do spot treatments twice a day with the Galvanic system and the Line Corrector gel on the areas with lines or wrinkles. This is an intense treatment that yields clear results within a month.
Another option is to first do the 180° System treatment. Once you have done it you may if you wish do the intense Galvanic spot treatment, focusing on the problem areas.
Saggy Skin and Wrinkles
If your skin has lost a lot of its elasticity you may want to consider the Wrinkle Treatment, called Essence Ultra. This is another revolutionary product that brings back the skin elasticity of a 20 year old within three months. All you do is add a drop of it in the morning after cleansing and toning and another drop at night.
Discolored Skin
If you have discolored skin you may exchange the regular mild daily skin care regime for a Whitening System until you have an even skin tone.
Acne
If you would get a more sever problem with acne we recommend exchanging the daily skin care products for Clear Action, until the situation is under control. Clear Action also contains retinol, which is protects both from acne and wrinkles.
Menopause Symptoms
If you are suffering from menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, sleep problems, concentration difficulties, irritability, depression, joint aches… and the list goes on… Then you should know that there are some excellent natural options out there that not only are effective in relieving the above mentioned symptoms but also can help with your bone health, heart health and your skin and hair. The absolute best option we have come across is Nutri5, a unique soy-based formulation that has undergone clinical testing for the last 20 years. Unlike many other soy-based products this one helps 9 out of 10. It takes a couple of weeks for it to work. It also has a positive effect on bone health, heart health, skin and hair.

If Nutri5 is not currently available in your country then there are other natural options. One that has an almost immediate effect on both skin and menopause symptoms is Pueraria Mirifica. This is a flower found in Thailand. It has extremely powerful phytoestrogens, substances that mimic our natural estrogen. The problem with it is that when you stop taking it you may experience even worse symptoms than you had to begin with. And so you have to wean off it very slowly. Currently Pueraria Mirifica is maily marketed as a natural breast enlargement supplement.
Yet another option is Black Cohosh. This is better known and can be found in many forms in most natural pharmacies. It works for many but people with liver conditions should not take it. One should also, at most, take it for 6 months.
