As we age, our skin goes through natural changes—losing elasticity, moisture, and resilience. However, with the right care, it’s possible to maintain a healthy and radiant complexion even after 60.
Experts agree that consistency, proper skincare routines, and lifestyle habits play a crucial role in promoting youthful skin. Below are 17 expert tips to help you achieve and maintain healthy skin as you age.
Stay Consistent with Sun Protection
Exposure to UV rays is one of the leading causes of premature aging. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even indoors, helps protect your skin from sun damage and reduces the risk of wrinkles and dark spots.
Use a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser
Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of natural oils. A gentle, hydrating cleanser keeps your skin clean while preserving moisture, leaving it soft and supple.
Moisturize Regularly
As we age, our skin tends to become drier. Using a rich, nourishing moisturizer helps lock in moisture and keeps the skin looking plump and hydrated.

Add Antioxidants to Your Routine
Antioxidants like vitamin C and E help neutralize free radicals that contribute to aging. They protect the skin from damage and boost collagen production, improving skin’s elasticity.
Embrace Retinoids for Collagen Boost
Retinoids stimulate collagen production, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They also improve skin texture and tone, making them a key ingredient after 60.
Hydrate from Within
Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin’s moisture balance and elasticity. Staying hydrated supports healthy, radiant skin.

Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol
Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption dehydrate the skin and accelerate aging. Reducing these habits helps improve skin’s health and appearance.
Prioritize Night Skincare Routine
Night is when the skin repairs itself. Using a night cream with ingredients like peptides or retinoids helps promote cell renewal and rejuvenation.
Stay Active and Exercise Regularly
Physical activity boosts blood circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, enhancing its overall health and glow.

Eat a Skin-Friendly Diet
Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and antioxidants supports collagen production and reduces inflammation, leading to healthier skin.
Use a Humidifier to Combat Dryness
As we age, skin tends to lose moisture more easily. A humidifier keeps the air around you moisturized, helping reduce dryness and maintaining skin hydration.
Opt for Lightweight, Non-Comedogenic Products
Products that are light and non-comedogenic won’t clog pores, which is especially important for maintaining clear, youthful skin.

Regular Facials Can Work Wonders
Facials improve circulation, exfoliate dead skin, and stimulate collagen production. They keep the skin rejuvenated and radiant.
Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing brighter and smoother skin. A gentle exfoliator helps maintain skin’s texture and clarity without irritation.
Pay Attention to Your Neck and Chest
The neck and chest area also show signs of aging. Use products and treatments designed specifically for these areas to maintain a consistent look.

Sleep Well for Skin Renewal
Getting enough sleep is crucial for skin renewal and repair. Lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired skin, so rest is key to a healthy complexion.
Be Patient and Consistent with Your Skincare Routine
Results won’t appear overnight, especially after 60. Staying consistent with your skincare routine and giving it time will lead to healthier, more youthful skin.
