You may have been noticing the signs for a while: increased roughness, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation (colouration) or inelasticity. These are all normal changes in our skin as we age.

You may have enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands. Sometimes, precancerous and cancerous lesions can occur with aged and photoaged skin. Sunscreens and sun protection are important to prevent further progression of photoaging.

Your skin requires different skin care as you age. Lavere’s (System Solution) intensive 45+ range isLavere ideal for mature skin. As we grow older, our skin doesn't produce new cells at the same pace. Environmental and biological factors take their toll. Often we develop enlarged pores, and the effects of the sun become evident in sunspots, freckles and wrinkles.

 Here are two tips to enhance natural skin care as you grow older:

1.     If you smoke, stop. Smoking has been shown to accelerate aging of skin, so quitting now is important for good skin health.

2.     Eat a well-balanced diet  with or without a multivitamin. A healthy diet helps the skin get the nutriton it needs to help repair ongoing damage from the sun and other environmental elements.
