Say bye-bye to dehydration and enjoy 40s to its fullest

By Kanishka Vijay


They say age brings wisdom and bliss. But this wisdom never comes without some unwanted wrinkles, fine lines and signs of aging. if you have lived over four decades, you have certainly gone through some ravages of time and environment. Once you hit your 40s, you can no longer bank your beautiful beauty. As we age, so does our skin. After a certain point in time, our skin will not produce enough natural oil to keep our dermis hydrated and supple. It will also experience a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin - the two proteins responsible for firmness in younger skin. The reserves of hyaluronic acid - the natural water-binding element in the skin also decreases, leading to a drier and dull-looking skin that bears fine lines and wrinkles.

While several factors are responsible for causing skin changes over the years including genetic and related to nutrition, sun exposure is one the most prominent causes and so is the loss of moisture from the skin. During winters the major skin issue we face is reason to dryness and loss of moisture. Cracked lips, heals and dry skin is major problems. Every time we wash our hands or face, we feel extreme dryness. All these characteristics increase as we age. At 25 you might e able to carry a day without a moisturizer but at 40 you certainly should not. Hence while basic skincare requirements in the winter season remain largely the same, revolving most of the time around the need for moisturizing for people in their 40 they are a little more pronounced and need to be combined with some anti-aging practices and products. A good routine of moisturizing and hydrating is required. You can also do well by going in for a session with Restylane Vital Skinboosters, a hyaluronic acid-based gel that when injected into the upper layers of the skin, deeply hydrates and nourishes it.
