Why does the skin become thinner?
With increasing age, the skin's metabolism slows down. Because blood flow is reduced, fewer nutrients and oxygen reach the skin cells. Furthermore, the skin's production of its own hyaluronic acid and lipids, collagen, and elastin, also declines dramatically with age.
This causes the skin to become slacker and lose elasticity. Due to the decreasing hyaluronic acid content, it also no longer retains as much moisture.
Skin cells no longer regenerate as quickly as they did in younger years. The skin becomes thinner. Hormonal changes during menopause, but also genetic factors, may be responsible for this.
What factors make the skin thinner?
However, external influences can also make the skin appear thinner and more parchment-like as we age.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, UV radiation, and environmental pollution all cause free radicals. These free radicals cause oxidative stress, which in turn can cause severe damage to (skin) cells.
But psychological or physical stress can also contribute to premature skin aging.
Thin skin – what to do?
However, you can counteract this with a few simple measures. Therefore, pay particular attention to a healthy lifestyle and appropriate skin care:
- Sleep: Your (skin) cells regenerate particularly well during sleep. About seven to eight hours of sleep per night helps your skin regenerate better.
- Nutrition: Maintain a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables! Seasonal organic produce is particularly rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which your skin needs to combat oxidative stress.
- Drink: Fluids hydrate the skin from within. Water, unsweetened tea, or spritzer help restore skin's elasticity.
- Me-time: Treat yourself to some (wellness) time! A good book, a relaxing hobby, or a nice warm bath will help you forget about everyday life and reduce your stress levels.
However, the most important thing when it comes to thinning skin is high-quality anti-aging care that gives your skin what it needs now.
Which cosmetic products are suitable for thinning skin?
For thinning skin, fine lines and wrinkles, SKINUANCE® offers anti-aging products with visible and noticeable effects.
- Our MIMIC WRINKLE SERUM has an intensive smoothing effect. This serum relaxes the facial muscles beneath the skin using skin-identical peptides. Fine lines and wrinkles are plumped up. This reduces expression lines and sustainably prevents new ones from forming. Your facial expression remains natural. At the same time, a signaling protein (Epidermal Growth Factor) promotes cell regeneration. Collagen synthesis increases the skin's elasticity and firmness.
- The new LIPID FILLER SERUM was specially developed for thinning skin. This innovative anti-aging serum plumps the skin from within, fills wrinkles without injections, and reduces wrinkle depth.
- The REGENERATION FACE CREAM was specially developed for thinning and dry skin. This rich and smooth intensive cream contains pure retinol and precious oils. These ingredients regenerate and nourish the skin barrier. Firmness and elasticity are visibly increased, while the retinol cream adds volume, fullness, and moisture to your skin. This anti-aging cream visibly reduces the signs of skin aging and UV-induced pigmentation.
- Another ideal product for parchment-like skin is the LIFTING & FIRMING FACE CREAM . Its ingredients nourish the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. At the same time, it moisturizes deep down. The antioxidants it contains counteract premature aging and help the skin regenerate. The skin immediately becomes visibly firmer and smoother.
