Skin aging is a very complex process that is influenced by both internal factors (your DNA ) and external factors (such as the sun, pollution, weather conditions, smoking...). Every skin is unique and the same can be said of the aging process. Although, there are certain changes and aging signs that occur frequently within a certain age range. Therefore, it can be useful to switch your skin care routine over the years. In this blog, we list the most important changes, aging signs and associated skincare tips for your 50's.
Keep in mind that this is NOT a fixed guideline ! For example, certain tips are described for 20's, but remain useful for other age categories as well. So definitely take a look at the other blogs: 20's , 30's and 40's . Moreover, everyone ages in a different way and one tip will be more applicable to you than the other

Different skincare for different ages

Skincare in your 50's
Changes to the skin caused by the hormonal changes - such as itchy and dry skin, wrinkles due to collagen loss, sagging skin - will become more visible during 'your 50's'.
RICH & HYDRATING CREAMS
A common problem in this group is dry skin . Due to the reduced production of estrogen, your body will produce fewer natural oils/lipids. These natural lipids form an essential building block of the skin, which ensures that the skin retains sufficient moisture. When this skin barrier is not built up properly, water will escape, this is called 'transepidermal waterloss (TEWL)'. To address this problem it is not only important to moisturize your skin using humectants but also by using a cream that containsskin-identical lipids. These lipids will help to build up a good skin barrier and thus support the skin in retaining moisture in the skin layers. Look for the following ingredients:
Peptides are made up of a chain of amino acids. Subsequently, several peptides or 'polypeptides' together form a protein. The use of lipids in cosmetics can help to strengthen essential proteins, such as collagen and elastin, in the skin. This makes them powerful anti-aging ingredients! Moreover, different types of peptides can be combined together in one cosmetic product. Nomige's night cream also contains peptides that stimulate collagen production and/or inhibit breakdown. Are you curious which lipids are most suitable for your skin? Based on a DNA test we can find out at Nomige!
Nomige's main tip: Focus on supporting the natural structures in your skin, such as collagen by using peptides and a strong skin barrier by using skin identical lipids.
3 TIPS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY AGE
THE BEST TIP FOR EVERY AGE: personalized products
In this blog we described some important skincare tips for your 50's. Even though there are certain signs of aging that are common and ingredients with a broad anti-aging effect, it is impossible to give a guideline that applies to everyone . Everyone 'ages' in a different way. It is therefore not a surprise that "tailor-made" skin care is the future within the beauty world!
Nomige is an innovative and tailor-made skincare brand that examines your specific risks of skin aging by taking both your DNA and lifestyle into account. Once we know what your risks are, we can act much more specifically on these risks!
Nomige offers an Exclusive package consisting of 4 personalized products . Three of them are based on your DNA profile, where we investigate genes involved in the skin aging process. We examine the risks (so-called 'mutations') in your DNA and take them into account when formulating your products. The fourth product, the day cream, is formulated based on your lifestyle. Lifestyle factors such as hormonal changes during menopause strongly influence the condition of your skin during your 50's. By means of a questionnaire, we gauge certain lifestyle factors and select ingredients for your day cream that specifically act on them. For example, the ' Back in Balance Lifestyle Blend' (day cream), which acts on impurities, pimples or inflammations and minimizes the influence of hormonal changes.
