FAQ
Should I use toner on mature skin?
While facial toners aren’t necessarily a necessary addition to your skin care routine, Dr. Ranveer explains that mature skin can benefit from formulas that support the skin’s barrier while addressing age-related skin concerns. “Look for toners with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which help maintain hydration levels as your skin’s natural retention capacity declines as you age,” she says, adding that other ingredients to look for include niacinamide, peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants. Dr. Lal and Dr. Ranveer agree to avoid formulas that contain alcohol, as they cause and worsen dryness.
What lotion is best for women in their 50s?
“Remember, at this age, less is more,” Dr. Ranveer says, adding that you want to focus on nurturing your skin rather than aggressive exfoliation. Collagen, an important protein responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and moisture retention, begins to decline from the age of 20. the study It has been shown that women lose 30 percent of their collagen in the first five years after menopause, and levels continue to decline gradually thereafter. For this reason, Dr. Ranveer says people in their 50s should look for toners that focus on supporting skin with hydrating glycerin and hyaluronic acid, barrier-strengthening ceramides, collagen-boosting peptides, and replenishing antioxidants to combat environmental damage.
Who should not use toner?
There may be no age limit to glowing skin, but toner isn’t necessarily a must-have for everyone. Dr. Lal says there’s no age when you’re “too old” to use a cleanser, but if you’re already using a good cleanser and your skin feels balanced, you may not need one. Evaluate your skin: “If your skin is healthy and balanced without toner, there’s no need to introduce toner into your daily routine,” Dr. Ranveer says, adding that some people’s skin simply functions better with a minimalist approach.
