K-Beauty for Mature Skin

Episode Description: 

 

As we age, the metabolism of our cells becomes slower and tell-tale signs of ageing emerge. Firstly, skin becomes drier and finer in texture. Then, it starts to lack in tone and firmness.

After that, you may notice that age spots and pigmentation appear. This also contributes to a more uneven looking complexion.

While no beauty products can turn back the hands of time, there is no reason you can’t look and feel your best at every age. Similarly, it's important to keep your skin in tip-top shape. That’s why today, I’m sharing the best Korean Beauty products for mature skin.

Episode Summary:

 

K-Beauty News Headline - Low Irritation Skincare 

 

More and more Koreans are looking for "low irritation skincare items" to soothe angry pores and skin trouble caused by the wearing of Covid-19 masks and the overlapping change of seasons. The high temperature, humid environment caused by face masks activates sebum secretion, which causes sebum, sweat, and waste to become entangled and block pores. Skin also becomes sensitized due to continuous friction, resulting in "mask trouble."

According to an analysis of Naver's search volume over the past eight months:

• the keyword "skin trouble" has increased in search rankings by 18%
• Naver's search volume for "mask trouble," a corona-related keyword, surged 161% 
• Naver's shopping results in the cosmetics-beauty sector increased by 3,233%. 
• The term "maskne," a combination of mask and acne, has also started appearing, showing the popularity of these searches. 

 

 

THE TELL TALE SIGNS OF MATURE SKIN

 

Caring for mature skin involves a little more TLC than skin in its 20s or 30s.

As we age, the amount and activity of the fibroblasts in the skin is reduced, as is the synthesis of collagen. Skin becomes noticeably drier thanks to a decrease in natural oils. On the bright side, this means that mature skin is prone to fewer breakouts. On the other hand, it means that skin begins to lack firmness and can develop a more pallid colour.

 

HOW BEST TO CARE FOR MATURE SKIN 

Remember the old saying, “Prevention is better than a cure”? The ideal time to start an anti-ageing routine is while the skin is still in its prime. This doesn’t mean that it’s too late to take care of your skin if you’ve left it a little longer though.

The Korean Beauty routine aims to provide hydration to dry, tight skin, working to protect and strengthen it. The ingredients in anti-ageing K-Beauty products also target dullness, age spots and pigmentation, and work to smooth existing wrinkles.

The goal of these products is to stimulate the process of cell renewal and recover some of the skin’s lost firmness.

 

 

MY FAVOURITE KOREAN BEAUTY INGREDIENTS FOR MATURE SKIN

 

Our favourite ingredients to look out for in Korean Beauty products for mature skin include:

 

Galactomyces – a type of yeast extract made through a process of fermentation. It is perfect for ageing skin as it offers nourishment, hydration, renewal and toning effects.

Niacinamide – a Vitamin B3 component. It improves skin’s elasticity, enhances the barrier function and revives skin tone and texture.

Adenosine – a yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent.

rh-Oligopeptide– a small polypeptide of 53 amino acids that stimulate epidermal cell growth. This ingredient has been shown to speed the healing of wounds and reduce scarring.

Ceramides – lipid molecules found within cell membranes that hold skin cells together. They form a protective layer that plumps the skin and helps it to retain moisture. In skincare products, ceramides are used to replace the skin’s natural lipids.

Sodium Hyaluronate – an ingredient found naturally in the human body that is important for sustaining skin as it ages. Sodium hyaluronate (and it’s cousin, hyaluronic acid) hold up to 1,000 times their own weight in water, making them excellent moisturisers.

 

 

K-BEAUTY FOR MATURE SKIN 

Many Korean Beauty products specifically target ageing skin and anti-ageing concerns. Some of our favourite include:

Toner

d’Alba Piedmont Peptide No Sebum Toner– an anti-aging toner that combines luxurious white truffle with pearl, niacinamide and more. It has a lightweight consistency that keeps sebum and moisture levels in check while also working to tackle the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation.

Essence

An essence is a quintessentially Korean skincare step that focuses on restoring the skin’s natural rhythm and promoting turnover. Some of the best Korean essences for mature skin right now are:

K-Beauty For Mature Skin - Serums

One of Korea’s best-known products –Missha Probio Ampoule – is a highly concentrated, scientifically developed serum that can be used daily to revitalise and improve the skin’s texture. Serum is a great skincare step for mature skin, as it radically boosts moisture levels and contains a higher concentration of active ingredients than regular moisturisers – actives are the ones that actually work to change the skin on a cellular level. Watch our YouTube reviewhere.

APLB Glutathione Ampoule Serum – If your skin is marred with dark spots, pigmentation and has become less elastic than usual, this is the serum you want in your routine. Glutathione is an outstanding ingredient for dark spots, making your complexion brighter and more even.

Another favourite beloved by Korea’s air hostesses isd’Alba Piedmont’s First Spray Serum.This Korean product went viral after it was revealed to be the secret behind Korean airline hostesses’ beautifully hydrated complexions in flight.

Strong enough to combat dry cabin air, it is made on a base of white truffles and lotus with avocado oil. It helps to reduce wrinkles, brighten skin and supply moisture.
