Skin is considered mature around 45 / 50 years old. This means that the production of collagen and elastin decreases. The skin becomes less dense, less toned, loses elasticity, and visibly sags. The skin texture refines, making the skin more sensitive to external elements like sun and pollution. Some people may also experience skin spots, also known as age spots.
How to recognize mature skin?
- Dryer and less radiant skin
- Thinner and more sensitive skin
- Increased wrinkles and fine lines
- Appearance of brown spots, also called age spots
To combat skin sagging, spots, wrinkles, and fine lines, there are many anti-aging creams, serums, or oils with specific active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc.). However, there are also relatively natural products, techniques, or habits to adopt to care for mature skin in the best possible way. Discover them!
Vegetable oils
To combat skin sagging, you can turn to vegetable oils. Among these vegetable oils, you'll find rose oil, argan oil, and prickly pear seed oil. These oils are rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin E. Thus, vegetable oils will deeply nourish the skin and restore radiance and elasticity to mature skin.
Avocado
Avocado is full of benefits for both the body and the skin. It is composed of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. Therefore, avocado is an ideal ingredient for effectively repairing cellular damage and also for fighting skin aging. Moreover, there are avocado patches that will reduce your dark circles and firm the contour of your eyes to make you look younger in no time.

Do exercises to firm your skin
In addition to vegetable oils and avocado patches, it is important to perform small exercises to tone the facial muscles and thus reduce wrinkles and fine lines. To do this, you can use Jade stone rollers to help your vegetable oils penetrate deeper. Also, there are a few small exercises to firm your face:
- Exercise 1 - Reduce sagging cheeks: Inhale and puff out your cheeks as if blowing out a candle, then exhale. Repeat this about ten times and do this exercise daily.
- Exercise 2 - Work on the facial oval: Sit in front of a mirror, keeping your back straight, slightly lower your chin. Place your closed fists under your chin, press lightly for 3 seconds, and repeat this about ten times, also daily.
- Bonus - When applying your skincare products, creams, oils, etc., always use upward movements to reduce the effects of sagging cheeks and downward pulling features.
Improve and diversify your diet
This point is often neglected because the connection between diet and fighting skin sagging is not always obvious. Just as hydration comes from water, diet also plays an important role in boosting collagen production. Therefore, take vitamins such as vitamin C (citrus fruits, green vegetables, kiwi, etc.), vitamin E (oilseeds, avocado, etc.), zinc (salmon, egg, soy, seafood, etc.), and omega 3/6/9 (olive oil, fatty fish, etc.).
