The Best Moisturiser for Mature Skin
Nourish and protect to maintain your GLOW
One constant in life that is for certain is that with each year we become a little wiser, and with the privilege of getting older comes some changes to our skin. We can certainly embrace our appearance at every age and strive to look our best but it can still be a challenge maintaining your glow as skin begins to lose firmness and show those pesky lines. With dedicated adherence to the right natural moisturiser, you can help to prevent further ageing while improving the appearance of your complexion.
What defines Mature Skin?
When we refer to mature skin, we are generally addressing skin that is showing the signs of ageing. Mature skin is not defined by age and is identified as a skin condition not a skin type. In an industry that bombards us with images of eighteen-year-old models selling us “anti-wrinkle” creams, mature skin is typically associated with those of us over the age of 35. It can be a tough pill to swallow, no matter how often we recite those positive affirmations and try to take comfort in the fact that ageing is a natural part of life. Proven in science we turn to nature and all those amazing phytonutrients to reclaim our radiant glow.
Why natural products are better for Mature Skin?
With each passing year our body’s own ability to produce collagen gradually declines, along with slowing cell renewal that gives our skin youthful radiance. Pores are beginning to look less refined, and we see a lack of tone and firmness, and the list can go on. The good news is that natural moisturisers formulated with botanical ingredients are multi-tasking heroes that address and improve the skin holistically. When building a skincare regime for mature skin I cannot stress enough the benefit nor the importance of choosing the best natural moisturiser for mature skin. Your natural moisturiser will protect and feed your skin delivering a daily dose of vitamins, ceramides and antioxidants. Healthy skin is more resilient and stronger, exactly what we should be looking to achieve in our skin at any age.
The Best Face and Body Moisturiser for Mature Skin
Investing wisely in the best moisturiser for mature skin is recommended. Whatever your budget, think of your moisturiser as your “investment” product in your skincare regimen. You can save on your cleanser and even skip a toner but invest here. Your skin will thank you. Let’s take a look at some of the best natural moisturisers for mature skin as loved by you.
Strengthen and re-mineralise the skin with Namari Sorbet balm, that effortlessly disappears into the skin, refining the pores and leaving the complexion looking like velvet. Full to the brim with minerals, antioxidants and delicate plant butters, this pale pink balm is a sensorial treat. The ingredients are skilfully blended and each one selected for their rejuvenating and restorative properties. Exotic Mango and Cupuacu butters form the base of SORBET. Mango butter boosts an abundance of vitamins including E and C which work to protect against the environmental stressors that lead to ageing. Cupuacu butter is a rich source of phytosterols that work to combat free radical damage and the high fatty acid profile make this ingredient ideal for moisturising the skin without leaving it feeling greasy. Combined these butters strengthen the skin barrier.
What makes this balm special and one of the best moisturisers for mature skin is the complex blend of gold, immortelle flower and frankincense. Gold is a natural antioxidant working to reduce free radical damage while stimulating cellular growth in the deeper layers of the skin, viitally important for collagen synthesis that helps to firm and tone the face. Immortelle flower has been used throughout time for its anti-ageing properties. A very expensive and powerful botanical oil it promotes new and healthy cell growth by encouraging skin renewal. This improves the look of the skin while fading age spots and preventing hormonal acne. Finally, those three wise men were onto something, Frankincense keeps the skin clean while helping to tighten the skin. It’s also perfect for soothing irritated or damaged skin.
Lack of tone and firmness can be difficult to address. The NATRUE certified AMALA range of luxury skincare products are the gold standard in natural anti-ageing skincare. An worthy investment is AMALA’s Youth-Renewing Powerhouse Face Cream which is targeted at skin that is showing a loss of firmness and density. With a vegan pre and probiotic infusion to encourage collagen production and boost firmness, the added bio-active blend of rose and spirulina calms inflammation and defends against free radicals. We love this formula due to its injection of GABA amino acids and the moth bean retinol alternative that both target wrinkles. Less irritating than synthetic retinol, moth bean works hard to re-densify thinning skin. This is a really great mid-weight hard working natural moisturiser well worth the splurge.

Now is the time to introduce a natural face oil to your regime. Layered over your moisturiser, a hydrating and nourishing face oil will turbocharge the benefits of your moisturiser and transform the tone and firmness of your skin. Marula oil is known as nature’s age defying overachiever, making it an excellent complement to your moisturiser for mature skin. The Luxe Botanics Marula Hydrating Serum uses the highest quality marula oil from Africa. The pure and potent formula brings high concentrations of omega- fatty acids and antioxidants that seal in moisture for plump looking skin while improving firmness. We recommend this face oil for all over the face including around the delicate eye area, the neck and chest. Any residual can be rubbed into the back of the hands. It’s protective for dry skin during the day and a treat for all skin types at night.
