GUIDANCE · SKIN TYPES
Recognising mature skin and caring for it properly
As the years pass, your skin's needs change. It may become drier, lose elasticity and show fine lines more clearly.
Mature skin therefore needs more than a collection of anti-ageing products. What matters is a balanced combination of hydration, nourishing lipids and carefully selected ingredients suited to your skin today.
Skin feel
Often drier and in need of extra care
Appearance
Fine lines and reduced elasticity
Skincare
Maintain moisture and lipids
Signs and characteristics
How can you recognise mature skin?
Mature skin does not develop overnight. Over time, the way it feels gradually changes: it may become drier, look less plump and need a little more care.
Age alone is not the deciding factor. Your skin's current condition and its individual needs are far more important.
Elasticity
Firmness and resilience gradually decline
Over time, skin may appear less firm, facial contours softer and the complexion less plump.
Fine lines
Fine lines become more visible
Fine lines and wrinkles may become more noticeable around the eyes, mouth and forehead as skin ages.
Skincare needs
Skin needs more nourishing comfort
Lightweight care may no longer be sufficient. Mature skin often benefits from extra hydration, nourishing lipids and selected active ingredients.
Important
Mature skin is not one uniform skin type. Some mature skin remains fairly balanced, while other skin becomes noticeably drier or more sensitive. Always choose skincare according to its actual condition.
Skin through the years
What happens to your skin as you get older?
With age, not only the appearance of skin but also the way it feels can change. It may retain less moisture and fewer lipids, making its care needs more demanding.
It may also lose firmness, respond differently to environmental influences and develop more visible fine lines. That does not mean it needs the most intensive products – simply a better-matched routine.
The key is to combine hydration, nourishing care and targeted ingredients in a way that suits your skin today.
Skin may appear dry more quickly
As skin matures, retaining moisture can become harder, and dryness or tightness may become more noticeable.
Nourishing comfort matters more
Richer products may be useful if skin feels less supple or its natural protective barrier needs additional support.
Elasticity and firmness change
Skin may look less plump, contours can soften and fine lines become more visible over time.
Understanding pigmentation changes
Pigmentation and age spots in mature skin
Pigmentation and so-called age spots are among the changes that may become more noticeable over time. They do not, however, appear on everyone's mature skin.
Years of accumulated UV exposure can contribute to areas of increased pigmentation and a less even-looking complexion.
At the same time, mature skin may experience changes in hydration, lipid levels and its protective barrier. Skincare should therefore address the skin as a whole rather than focusing solely on pigmentation.
UV exposure
Sun exposure plays an important role
Over many years, UV radiation can contribute to visible pigmentation. Suitable sun protection is therefore part of a thoughtful mature-skin routine.
Skin condition
Mature skin needs more than pigmentation care
Dehydration, changes in lipid balance and a more demanding skin barrier can occur together. Skincare should always consider the overall complexion.
Skincare approach
Build a consistent routine, step by step
A manageable routine with cleansing, hydration, nourishing lipids and daily sun protection is often more useful than combining numerous intensive treatments.
Good to know
Pigmentation and age spots are usually harmless. However, new, noticeably changing, irregular or otherwise unusual skin marks should be assessed by a dermatologist.

How to care for mature skin step by step
Mature skin benefits from a routine that cleanses gently, helps retain moisture and provides nourishing comfort.
It need not be complicated. A suitable everyday moisturiser forms the foundation, with serums and intensive treatments added when useful.
01
Cleansing
Cleanse gently
Remove make-up, sebum and residue thoroughly without stripping the skin of too many natural lipids. Gentle cleansing is especially important if mature skin already feels dry or sensitive.
Look out for
After cleansing, skin should feel fresh and comfortable, not dry or tight.
02
Facial toner
Prepare skin for the next steps
A gentle facial toner complements cleansing and prepares skin for the products that follow.
Look out for
Choose a formula that suits your skin's current needs and does not leave it feeling drier.
03
Serum
Add targeted ingredients
Choose a serum based on what your skin needs most, such as extra hydration, a more comfortable skin feel or care for more visible fine lines.
For mature skin
A serum is a useful addition between cleansing and moisturising, and can be tailored to your individual needs.
04
Facial moisturiser
Combine hydration and nourishing lipids
A suitable cream provides comfort by combining moisture with caring lipids. How rich it should be depends on how your skin actually feels.
Good to know
Your morning and evening routines need not be identical. In the evening, a richer cream may be more comfortable.
05
Sun protection
Remember UV protection
UV radiation is one of the external factors that contributes to visible skin ageing. Suitable sun protection is therefore an important part of your morning routine.
Everyday advice
Apply sun protection as the final skincare step in the morning, particularly when spending longer periods outdoors.
The most important rule
Care for mature skin according to its condition, not its age. Dryness, sensitivity and skincare needs vary from person to person. Your routine should reflect those differences.
Common skincare mistakes
Skincare mistakes to avoid with mature skin
Mature skin often benefits from more nourishing comfort, but not necessarily from more products. Harsh cleansing, too many active ingredients or unsuitable formulas can make it feel less comfortable.
A simple routine combining hydration, nourishing lipids and targeted ingredients is often a better choice.
Cleansing too harshly
Aggressive cleansers may strip mature skin of lipids and increase dryness or tightness.
Focusing only on wrinkles
Mature skin needs more than anti-ageing ingredients. Hydration, comfort and a balanced skin feel matter just as much.
Combining too many active ingredients
More is not always better. Too many intensive serums, exfoliants or special treatments may overwhelm the skin.
Using too little nourishing care
When skin feels drier or less supple, a very light formula may no longer meet its changing needs.
Underestimating sun protection
UV exposure is one of the external factors associated with visible skin ageing. Suitable sun protection belongs in your daytime routine.
Choosing products by age alone
Not all mature skin is dry or sensitive. Its actual condition matters more than the number of birthdays you have celebrated.
A better approach
Choose skincare by how your skin feels, not by your age. Mature skin benefits from a balanced combination of hydration, suitable lipids and targeted ingredients, without overloading it.
Ingredients & skincare
Which ingredients suit mature skin?
Mature skin benefits from ingredients that help retain moisture, enhance comfort and leave the complexion looking more cared for and balanced.
It is not about finding one miracle anti-ageing ingredient, but combining hydration, nourishing lipids and carefully chosen additions.
Hyaluronic acid
Hydration for plumper-looking skin
Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisture-binding properties and is well suited to mature skin that feels dry or less supple.
Particularly useful for: Dryness, reduced suppleness and a complexion that looks less plump.
Peptides
Targeted care for changing skin needs
Peptides are often included in premium facial products for mature skin and fit routines focused on firmness, comfort and a well-cared-for complexion.
Particularly useful for: Reduced firmness and those seeking a more targeted skincare routine.
Antioxidants
Skincare for everyday environmental exposure
Antioxidant ingredients are used in skincare to help protect against oxidative stress from external influences while caring for the skin.
Particularly useful for: Mature skin exposed to environmental stresses in daily life.
Plant oils & lipids
Extra comfort and suppleness
Nourishing lipids can be helpful when mature skin feels drier and less supple. They work particularly well alongside hydrating products.
Particularly useful for: Dryness, tightness and a need for more nourishing comfort.
Which product types are useful?
01
Gentle cleanser
Removes make-up and residue without unnecessarily drying the skin.
02
Hydrating serum
Adds targeted hydration when moisture and plumper-looking skin are priorities.
03
Richer facial moisturiser
Combines hydration with nourishing lipids for improved comfort.
04
Targeted intensive care
Serums, masks and specialised products can complement your basic routine according to your skin's condition.
What matters most
Mature skin does not need the longest possible ingredient list. A balanced combination of hydration, nourishing lipids and targeted ingredients chosen for your skin's actual needs is more useful.
Déesse skincare
Which Déesse products suit mature skin?
Mature skin can have very different needs. One person may want more hydration, another richer skincare or a targeted addition for visible lines and reduced firmness.
There is no single routine for every person with mature skin. Choose a combination that suits how your skin feels and your personal skincare goals.
Cleansing
Start gently
Gentle cleansing is the foundation: it should remove residue effectively without leaving the skin feeling stripped or uncomfortable.
Hydration
Keep skin feeling supple
Hydrating products and suitable serums are especially useful if skin feels drier or looks less plump.
Everyday skincare
Add nourishing comfort
Depending on your skin's needs, a richer moisturiser can combine hydration with caring lipids.
Intensive care
Add targeted support
Serums, masks and other specialised products can be useful when particular skincare needs become more important.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about mature skin
Mature skin may become drier, need more nourishment or grow more sensitive – but not necessarily. Its current condition matters more than age alone.
At what age is skin considered mature?
There is no fixed age. What matters are visible and noticeable changes, such as increased dryness, reduced firmness or more pronounced fine lines.
Is mature skin always dry?
No. Mature skin can be dry, balanced or more sensitive. Select skincare according to its actual condition, not simply your age.
What skincare does mature skin need most?
Hydration, nourishing lipids and a suitable everyday moisturiser are often important. Serums or targeted treatments can be added for particular skincare goals.
Does mature skin always need a serum?
No. A serum is an optional addition, not an essential step. It can be useful if you would like to include extra hydration or targeted ingredients.
Should morning and evening skincare routines differ?
They can. A lighter moisturiser followed by sun protection often suits the morning, while richer care may feel better in the evening.
Which ingredients are good for mature skin?
Hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, nourishing lipids, peptides and antioxidants can be useful. Choose a balanced combination that suits your skin.
How important is sun protection for mature skin?
Sun protection is an important part of daytime skincare because UV exposure contributes to visible skin ageing. Apply it as the final step of your morning skincare routine.
Which Déesse products are suitable for mature skin?
The most suitable products depend on whether your main priorities are dehydration, dryness, reduced firmness or a greater need for nourishing comfort.
