The first step is adopting a gentle skincare routine.
Harsh acne products can damage mature skin, so opt for cream-based cleansers labeled for sensitive skin and follow with a hydrating moisturizer containing ceramides or niacinamide.
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is a powerful multitasker: it helps treat pimples, smooth fine lines, and fade dark spots. For older adults, starting with a low-strength, encapsulated retinol applied at night is best.
Simple habits can make a big impact.
Wash pillowcases often, clean glasses regularly, and avoid touching your face.
Use non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens to prevent clogged pores. Lifestyle changes, including cutting back on sugar and processed foods, drinking more water, and
incorporating anti-inflammatory foods, can also improve skin health from within.
