Wrinkles: dark skin gets them too !

Good news ! Thanks to your pretty black or matte skin, dear OYA, you are the least concerned about skin aging. But when can we start to worry about it, and what are the tips to keep a young skin longer ?

 

It's a fact : black & matte skin is better suited to the sun and is therefore the least affected by sun-induced skin aging. The dermis, made of collagen and elastic fibers, allows a certain tone of black & matte skin, more compact than in other skin tones. In addition, the melanocytes of black & matte skin (the skin cells that synthesize melanin) are more active, and make a darker melanin that is more effective in protecting the skin from the sun, therefore wrinkles.

 

Thus, before the age of 50, few skin aging problems for black & matte skin. But although late, wrinkles always end up appearing, they can be at the level of the forehead (wrinkles of the lion), eyes (goose pastes), cheekbones, cheeks or at the level of the nasolabial folds (from the nose to the corners of the lips). Note that the eye area is a very fragile area, so this is usually where the first wrinkles are formed. It is a good hydration that will slow down the appearance of wrinkles, especially if you have dry to very dry skin : My MEL'OYA ® Moisturizing Unifying Care will be your best ally to prevent dry wrinkles. 

 

Advice:

1. Prevention! It is necessary to hydrate well, both from the outside with a cream and from the inside by drinking water regularly. We recommend My Elixir " Repair regenerating" REPAIR'OYA® enriched with 98% natural active ingredients and composed of hyaluronic acid, baobab pulp, probiotics, prebiotics and wheat bran extracts, this treatment will give a better density, firmness and elasticity to your skin.

Also consider scrubs, such as My CLEAN'OYA® EXTRA Cleansing Cleansing Gel, which exfoliates the skin to activate cell regeneration.

2. Makeup removal :  Never ignore a good daily makeup removal, essential to rid the skin of impurities and let it breathe. We choose a soft and moisturizing texture like My Clean'OYA® Micellar Water, or a sebo-regulating formula like My Clean'OYA® Purifying Cleansing Foam.

3. At a more advanced stage, the first anti-aging product to use is an eye cream. Never use an anti-wrinkle cream for the face around your eyes : the skin is much thinner, the care will not be adapted at all (risk of swelling).

When applying the anti-wrinkle product, do not hesitate to gently massage the face in small circular movements, without pulling too much on the skin, which will promote the absorption of the product. 

 

Tip :

Think of facial gymnastics, a natural, easy and safe method: a few stretches to do each morning in front of the mirror to sculpt the face and delay skin aging. In addition, despite a good natural resistance of pigmented skin, do not expose your skin too much to the sun and protect it daily with protection such as Sun Fluid SPF 50 SUN'OYA®.
