Turning 45: What you need to know about your skin

From the age of 45, the skin undergoes more marked changes, which are essential to understand in order to effectively adjust your skincare routine. Here are the main elements to consider to preserve the health and beauty of your skin at this age:

  1. Slowing down of cellular regeneration :
    The cell turnover process slows down even further, which can lead to dullness and uneven texture. Regular, gentle exfoliation with products containing acids (like glycolic acid) helps remove dead cells and stimulate skin renewal.
  2. Marked decrease in collagen and elastin :
    The production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin, decreases significantly. This can lead to sagging skin and deeper wrinkles. Using skincare products containing peptides, retinoids, or plant stem cells can help boost collagen production.
  3. Increased dryness :
    As we age, sebum production decreases, making skin drier and more prone to irritation. It is therefore essential to use creams rich in ceramides, fatty acids and moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid to maintain optimal hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.
  4. Wrinkles and loss of firmness :
    Wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, become more pronounced. This is the time to incorporate skincare containing retinol (or bakuchiol for a natural alternative) and biomimetic peptides to smooth skin and improve firmness.
  5. Pigment irregularities :
    Dark spots and uneven skin tone can become more pronounced over years of sun exposure. It’s crucial to continue applying sunscreen daily and incorporating brightening products like vitamin C or niacinamide to even out skin tone.
  6. Hormonal and nutritional support :
    The drop in estrogen associated with menopause affects skin quality and texture. Incorporating actives like soy isoflavones, which mimic the effects of estrogen, can help maintain skin suppleness. Additionally, eating a diet rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids supports overall skin health.

Adopting a skincare routine tailored to these specific needs will help you maintain your skin's firmness, radiance, and hydration for years to come. At Glowing Skin, we're with you every step of the way to personalize your skincare and meet the unique needs of your skin after age 45.

Essential active ingredients

Plant stem cells are powerful active ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics, renowned for their ability to protect and regenerate the skin in depth. Derived from plants, they contain compounds capable of promoting the regeneration of skin cells and repairing damaged tissues. In addition to stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to firm the skin, they help strengthen the skin's protective barrier against external aggressions.

Thanks to their antioxidant properties, plant stem cells also help prevent the signs of premature aging caused by free radicals, including those caused by UV exposure and pollution. They work to improve skin firmness and elasticity, while promoting a more even and radiant complexion. By revitalizing and repairing the skin, they leave it smoother, protected and visibly rejuvenated.

Biomimetic peptides are cutting-edge molecules in skin care known for their ability to mimic the skin’s natural processes. By binding to specific receptors, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which helps firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For example, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 , nicknamed the “botox peptide,” helps reduce expression lines by relaxing facial muscles, making it particularly effective at smoothing fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

In addition to their regenerative properties, biomimetic peptides help improve skin elasticity and strengthen its protective barrier. They are particularly effective in reducing the visible signs of aging, such as loss of firmness and deep wrinkles. Thanks to their targeted action and high skin tolerance, they provide visible results while respecting sensitive skin. Their continuous action helps smooth and firm the skin, while maintaining a more youthful and radiant appearance over time.

Glycolic and lactic acids are key ingredients in skin care, particularly effective for exfoliation and cell renewal. These two AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) work gently but effectively to remove dead cells from the skin's surface, improve texture, and stimulate skin regeneration.

  • Glycolic acid is a powerful exfoliant that penetrates deep into the skin due to its small molecular size. It helps smooth wrinkles, even out skin tone and refine skin texture, while stimulating collagen production. This acid is particularly effective for treating pigment spots, acne scars and dull complexion.
  • Lactic acid , which is gentler, is ideal for sensitive skin. It exfoliates on the surface while providing moisturizing properties. It helps smooth the skin, while maintaining its hydration and strengthening the skin barrier. Lactic acid is therefore ideal for more mature or dehydrated skin looking for a gentle exfoliation without irritation.

At Glowing Skin, these two acids are at the heart of our professional Peel Perfection treatment. This chemical peel treatment uses higher concentrations of glycolic and lactic acids to provide deep exfoliation. Peel Perfection intensely renews skin, improves texture and brightens skin tone while stimulating cell regeneration. This treatment is ideal for skin showing signs of aging, dark spots, or unevenness, and leaves skin visibly smoother and more radiant.

Thanks to their synergy, these acids offer a powerful and suitable solution to transform the skin, whether in daily care or via our professional Peel Perfection peel.

Retinol , a derivative of vitamin A, is a powerful ingredient used in skin care to treat the signs of aging. It works by stimulating cell turnover and increasing collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth skin texture, and fade dark spots.

  • Classic Retinol : Known for its effectiveness, classic retinol helps accelerate the regeneration of skin cells, making the skin smoother and more even. It is particularly effective for treating wrinkles and imperfections, although its use may require an adaptation phase for sensitive skin.
  • Encapsulated Retinol : This innovative version of retinol allows for a more gradual release into the skin, minimizing the risk of irritation while providing the same benefits as traditional retinol. Encapsulated retinol is ideal for those looking to benefit from the effects of retinol while reducing the risk of redness or dryness.

Thanks to its anti-aging properties, retinol is one of the most popular active ingredients for reducing wrinkles, improving skin firmness and evening out skin tone, while providing a more youthful and radiant appearance.
