What should a 60 year old woman use on her face?

Use gentle cleansers such as CeraVe, hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid or retinol, and moisturizers such as Nivea or Augustinus Bader. Wear gloves when doing household chores and gardening. Working at home and in the garden can expose your skin to harsh chemicals, sunlight, and other things that can irritate and dry it. When you wear gloves, you also reduce the risk of injuring your skin.

Finding the best cleansers for mature skin isn't just about cleansing your face, it's about giving your skin the care it needs as it changes over time. With age, skin tends to become drier, less elastic and slightly duller, thanks to slower cell renewal and a weakening of the moisture barrier. That's why it's so important to choose the right ingredients. A cleanser with hyaluronic acid or squalane can do wonders by hydrating dry skin and maintaining elasticity, says Dr.
