As you age, your skin changes. What worked for you in your 30’s may simply not work for you when you reach 50. Mature skin requires special attention. Thankfully, many great products can be found at your local drugstore or supermarket. Almost every product mentioned in this article can be found easily all over the United States, and many are under $10. If you are looking for younger, healthier looking skin, you need to keep a few things in mind.

1. You need more than foundation to look younger

If you haven’t already started a skincare regime, there is no better time to start. No matter what your age, you should use a gentle cleanser, followed by a moisturizer, and then a light foundation to even out your complexion. If you have sensitive skin, try a cleanser like Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, which contains natural feverfew extract to reduce redness. You might also enjoy Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Solutions Cream Cleanser, which is highly recommended by dermatologists and contains no perfumes or dyes. If you need a deeper clean, try a moist cleansing towelette such as L’Oreal’s Skin Genesis Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towelette, which delivers wrinkle-fighting ingredients while removing dirt, oil, and makeup.

2. Splurge on moisturizer

This may seem obvious, but you need to use a moisturizer that makes your skin feel fantastic. You may need to try several different brands. Estee Lauder’s entire line of moisturizers leaves skin feeling incredibly smooth, although if you have oily skin your face may feel sticky after use. Moisturizers by brands like Clinique and Almay tend to provide the best moisturizer for oily or combination skin. You can spend very little money and buy great cleansers and foundation, but you may find you need to spend significantly more to find a moisturizer that provides you with healthy skin and reduces the signs of aging. You can spend anywhere from $20-300 on a single tub of moisturizer. Start with the inexpensive stuff, and work your way up as you age.

3. Choose liquids over powders

Mature skin is happiest with a liquid foundation, not powder. Powder can dry out skin, or highlight the wrinkles and crows-feet you are trying to hide. Try and purchase a foundation with an SPF factor of at least 15 to help stop any further sun damage. There are several good anti-aging foundations on the market, including high end products like Chanel Double Perfection Crème Powder, Giorgio Armani Hydra Glow Foundation, and a variety of products by Lancome. If you prefer to spend less money, Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Foundation is a great product with caffeine and light diffusers that is especially great for women who are prone to puffiness. Most of the Revlon line is also designed to work well on older skin.

In general, mature skin has special needs. In order to make sure your face looks fabulous, you should keep your eye out for products with ingredients known to be beneficial for older skin. Look for products with key ingredients such as vitamins C, E, and A, retinol, green tea extract, alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids, copper, caffeine, or lycopene.
