Bobbi Brown’s Quick Makeup Routine for Mature Skin| Well+Good

Hydrating your skin is crucial at any age, but becomes extra important when dealing with mature skin. “As we get older, our body’s way of moisturizing the skin, which is by creating oils, tends to slow down, so the skin gets drier as you get older,” Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, previously told Well+Good.

Because of this, you’ll want to stack your routine with hydrating topicals, which help to strengthen the skin barrier and prevent dryness and flaking. Formulas with hyaluronic acid (like this one from Tatcha) are a great option. In addition to immediately hydrating and plumping skin, over time they can also improve skin elasticity and decrease roughness.

Pro tip? “Put moisturizer on not just on your face—put it on your neck, put it on your hands,” says Brown. “It feels better and looks better.”
