ZIAJA SKINCARE ADVICE

Mature skin – which skincare routine is right for you?

Mature skin is not automatically dry. Over time, firmness, elasticity and moisture balance may become more important concerns, but your skin can still be dry, normal, oily or combination. The best routine therefore depends on your skin's actual needs, not just your age.

Typical signs

  • Fine lines and wrinkles become more visible.
  • Firmness and elasticity may decrease.
  • Dryness may increase, but not necessarily.
  • Dark spots or uneven skin tone may become additional concerns.

Mature skin is not automatically dry skin

Mature skin primarily refers to age-related changes. Dry skin, by contrast, is a basic skin type with lower sebum and lipid levels. Both can occur together, but they do not have to.

Mature skin

  • Firmness, elasticity and fine lines become more prominent concerns
  • Can be dry, normal, oily or combination skin
  • UV protection becomes especially important
  • Additional concerns such as dark spots are considered separately

Dry skin

  • Lower sebum and lipid levels are the main characteristics
  • Can occur even at a young age
  • Roughness, tightness and flaking are typical concerns
  • Especially needs moisture and lipid-supporting skincare

What does mature skin need in a daily routine?

A good routine combines gentle cleansing, sufficient hydration, targeted care for elasticity and fine lines, and consistent UV protection. A serum can provide an additional skincare step but is not essential. The key is choosing products that suit your actual skin type.

Morning

  1. Cleanse gently
  2. Optional: apply a serum
  3. Use day care with UV protection
  4. During prolonged sun exposure, apply sufficient sun protection and reapply regularly

Evening

  1. Gently remove makeup and residue
  2. Cleanse the face
  3. Optional: apply a serum
  4. Finish with restorative night care

Frequently asked questions

Do I automatically need an anti-ageing routine at a certain age?

No. Your current skin condition matters more than a fixed age threshold, for example dryness, fine lines, reduced elasticity or dark spots. Your routine should reflect these needs.

Can mature skin also be oily or combination skin?

Yes. Mature skin is not a separate oily or dry skin type. Increased sebum production or combination skin can still occur with mature skin.

Which goes first – serum or cream?

As a rule, apply serum after cleansing and before your cream. The cream then completes the skincare routine.
