How to Build a Simple Skincare Routine in Your 60s

Skincare in your 60s does not need to be complicated. A few well-chosen steps work best.

Here is a simple routine, in the right order, for mature skin.

What order should I apply skincare in?

Apply products from thinnest to thickest. This helps each layer absorb properly.

The general order is: cleanse, treat, hydrate, seal, then protect in the morning.

A simple morning routine for your 60s

  1. Cleanse. Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser. Our Cleansing Milk suits dry, mature skin.
  2. Serum. A vitamin C serum brightens and defends. Try our Vitamin C Serum.
  3. Eye cream. Gently pat around the eyes to hydrate.
  4. Moisturise. A rich day cream restores comfort and plumpness.
  5. Protect. Finish with SPF every morning, all year round.

A simple evening routine for your 60s

  1. Cleanse. Remove makeup and sunscreen thoroughly but gently.
  2. Treat. Apply a hydrating serum. A hyaluronic acid gel plumps dry skin.
  3. Nourish. Use a richer night cream to repair overnight. Our Vitamin E Night Repair Cream is ideal.
  4. Optional oil. A few drops of face oil seal in moisture.

What ingredients matter most after 60?

Focus on hydration and barrier support. Skin becomes drier as it matures.

Look for hyaluronic acid, ceramide-rich oils, peptides and vitamin C. These support moisture, firmness and radiance.

Keep it gentle. Harsh actives can irritate thinner, mature skin.

The takeaway

Simple and consistent beats complicated. Cleanse, treat, hydrate and protect.

Your skin will feel more comfortable and look more radiant.
