Dryness accentuates wrinkles universally. Darker skin may show ashiness when dry, while lighter skin may appear flaky. Rich moisturizers with ceramides benefit all tones.
Supporting the skin's microbiome is a key focus. Prebiotic and postbiotic ingredients in cleansers and moisturizers will be popular to strengthen the skin's barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve resilience against environmental stressors.
Apply sunscreen daily and reapply after washing. Use a hand cream with antioxidants (like niacinamide) and retinol at night, and wear gloves for protection during chores or in cold weather.
Berries (for antioxidants), fatty fish like salmon (for omega-3s), leafy greens (for vitamins and minerals), nuts and seeds (for vitamin E and healthy fats), and green tea (for polyphenols) are all excellent choices.
