Beauty Editor’s Guide: Skincare Tips and Product Recommendations for Women Over 50

Beauty editor Hana Hong is here to answer all your burning skincare questions, especially for those in their 50s and beyond. As we age, our skin undergoes changes that require a more rigorous skincare routine to combat deep wrinkles, sun spots, and loss of volume. With the decline of estrogen during menopause, our skin loses resilience, making it essential to incorporate specific ingredients like serums into our routine.

In your 50s, key skincare principles include wearing sunscreen, using a thick moisturizer, and investing in a silk pillowcase and humidifier. When it comes to serums, look for ingredients like glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, retinol, and vitamin C. These ingredients work to unclog pores, retain moisture, stimulate collagen production, and lighten age spots, respectively.

For those looking for professional treatments, neuromodulator injections, dermal filler injections, and laser treatments can help combat signs of aging. However, there are also at-home options like beauty rollers for a more low-key approach.

To help you navigate the world of skincare products, Hana Hong recommends some top picks vetted by dermatologists. From glycolic acid serums to hyaluronic acid products, vitamin C blends, and retinol capsules, there are options for every skincare concern. Additionally, growth factor serums and DNA repair enzyme products are also recommended for post-menopausal skin.

Whether you’re looking to revamp your skincare routine or simply seeking advice on the best products for your age, Hana Hong’s expert tips are here to guide you through the world of skincare in your 50s.
