FAQ about 60 years and over

Why is sun protection still essential after the age of 60?

In addition to preventing future photoageing, a sunscreen minimises the risk of skin cancers, which remain prevalent after the age of 60.

Can facial exercises attenuate wrinkles at sixty?

Scientific evidence for the efficacy of facial gymnastics remains insufficient to date to assert that these exercises can firm the skin after the age of 60.

Can taking collagen dietary supplements be beneficial at age 60?

Despite the uncertainties surrounding collagen supplementation, some studies suggest that it may enhance skin hydration and firmness, even beyond the age of 60. It is worth noting that you should consult a healthcare professional before starting any course, regardless of the dietary supplement in question.

How can one soothe dry skin in winter at the age of 60?

Applying a rich moisturising cream, using a home humidifier and taking lukewarm showers helps to prevent skin dryness in winter at the age of 60.

What essential steps should be included in a simple skincare routine after the age of 60?

The daily application of a rich cream, indispensable for combating skin dryness and restoring the skin’s protective barrier, together with the use of sun protection, are among the essential measures to adopt after 60 years.

Why does the skin become drier after the age of 60?

The decrease in activity of sebaceous glands with age leads to a decline in the hydrolipidic film. Moreover, levels of hyaluronic acid gradually decrease from the age of 25. Consequently, the skin retains less water and becomes more prone to a feeling of tightness, which explains why sensations of dryness become more frequent with age.

Does the complexion become duller with age?

Yes, cell renewal slows down with age, particularly after 60 years. Dead cells accumulate more on the surface of the skin, which can dull its radiance.

Does the skin become more sensitive from the age of 60?

Yes, with a more fragile skin barrier, the skin can react more readily to external stressors. Redness, tingling or sensations of discomfort are more frequent with age.

Does hair undergo changes after the age of 60?

Hair tends to become thinner, drier and at times more brittle. Pigmentation gradually diminishes, resulting in the appearance of grey or white hairs. Hair growth may also slow down.

Do nails become more brittle with age?

Yes, nails can become more brittle, develop ridges or grow more slowly. This is explained by a reduction in keratin production and, at times, by poorer blood circulation.
