Your body goes through a lot of changes as it gets older. Suddenly you wake up with new aches that weren't there yesterday, perhaps you aren't as limber as you once were, and by now a lot more of your life is starting to show up on your face in the form of spots and wrinkles.
Not everyone cares about a few age spots or fine lines, but taking care of your skin as it ages is a part of life. And while wearing an expert-recommended sunscreen is the best thing you can do to take care of your skin long-term, there are some tried-and-true ingredients to be on the lookout for that'll keep you skin healthy and looking its best year after year.
The good news is that building a skin care routine with those ingredients for your 50s or 60s isn't actually all that complicated or expensive. But the even better news? We spotted two of the top dermatologist-recommended anti-aging creams for mature skin on sale for under $40 for both. Quite a deal, right?
Perhaps the best deal is on this rich, emollient cream from Olay that's made with key ingredients for turning back the clock on wrinkles and spots. Several dermatologists we spoke with about anti-aging routines for your 50s and 60s recommended this cream because of its rich formula for those who are trying to fight the signs of aging.
In fact, you might've noticed that many anti-aging moisturizers are quite thick and creamy, and this one from Olay is no different. There's a simple reason for that: They lock in more moisture than lighter creams. Emollient, creamy textures are good for mature skin because they hydrate and reinforce the barrier on aging, delicate skin. And because mature skin is drier, thick moisturizers lock in hydration for as long as possible.
Another expert favorite we found sitting on the sale shelves is Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer. It's a favorite among dermatologists because of its proven ingredients, affordable price point and simple formulation.
Retinol a type of retinoid, which is a potent anti-aging ingredient that's derived from vitamin A. Retinoids boost your skin's collagen production and plump up the skin in the process, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This moisturizer from Neutrogena is consistently recommended by dermatologists we've interviewed because it combines these powerful retinoids with hydrating hyaluronic acid so that skin stays moisturized and hydrated while working to rejuvenate newer, more youthful-looking cells.
Take note, though: Experts say that you should introduce a retinoid it into your routine slowly a couple of times a week at first to let your skin acclimate. Always be sure to wear a sunscreen the days you're using a retinoid, as skin will be extremely sensitive to sunlight.
As always, these deals are only around for a limited time, so we recommend stocking up while you can.
