Paula's Choice-focused skincare routine for mature skin
A routine for mature skin built around Paula's Choice products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and centella asiatica extract help hydrate and calm mature skin, while sunscreen steps with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and madecassoside protect it. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and butyrospermum parkii butter help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, while cleansing toners, enzyme powders, and masks with glycolic acid, polyhydroxy acid, papain, and hydrolyzed collagen help improve firmness.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps to help smooth and renew mature skin.
