Skin care tips for people 60 and older

According to Dr. Tran Ngoc Phuong - Department of Dermatology, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, skin can show signs of aging as you get older. Fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of elasticity are the most noticeable and common signs of aging skin.

Continue sun protection

As you enter your 60s, the results of sun exposure accumulated over time can begin to appear as brown spots.

These brown spots reflect previous sun damage, but it's important to continue sun protection to prevent the brown spots from getting darker.

Applying a lightening cream may help. Exfoliate a few times a week to improve the appearance of your skin.

Retinol and vitamin C

Retinol (also known as Vitamin A1) is an important ingredient for people over 60. Retinol and vitamin C help increase skin elasticity in postmenopausal women.

Retinol helps increase elastin and collagen production, reducing water loss through the skin. At the same time, it improves skin elasticity and reduces absorption of ultraviolet radiation.

Whole body skin care

It is important to pay attention to the hands, neck and chest as these areas will continue to show signs of aging over time, with the skin becoming thinner and more wrinkled. Therefore, it is important to keep these areas of skin moisturized.

Use mild, fragrance-free bath products to avoid irritation. Use warm water when bathing.

Additionally, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to your body within 3 minutes of showering.

Use a humidifier when the air is dry

Protect your skin from chemicals and harsh sunlight by wearing gloves when cleaning or gardening, and applying sunscreen daily to your face, ears, and neck.
