The most common beauty doubts among women over 50

The CLARA Tribe readers have told us about their concerns about skin and hair, “concerns” that arise when we are over 50. Do you have the same doubts? We solve them for you. Find out here how to make dark circles disappear, gain extra volume in your hair, combat dry skin or how to hide your (uncomfortable) double chin.

Fight dark circles

The problem: "I would love to make my dark circles disappear and always have a good face."

The origin of these dark circles can be stress and lack of sleep, not to mention microcirculation, which slows down over time and accentuates them.

First of all, a good outline. If what really worries you is achieving a good face effect and a brighter look, we recommend that you use an eye contour with vitamin C, caffeine and / or marine extracts day and night: three very effective ingredients against dark circles.
The infallible reinforcement. And since at certain ages an extra help comes in handy, you can complement your beauty routine with specific serums (used before contouring) and a mask or patches –once a week–, which will eliminate the signs of fatigue that are evident in our gaze.
One step further? If you are a fan of aesthetic medicine and you are not scared of pinpricks, infiltrations with hyaluronic acid improve skin quality and microcirculation, reducing dark circles and blurring crow's feet. Other options are medical peeling or radiofrequency with Indiba.

An extra volume

Problem: "I'm happy the way I am, but I'm worried that my hair is losing density."

The hair weakens and the mane looks “poorer” with the passage of time. The good news is that there are simple formulas for not "compromising" your density.

The best daily care. The first thing is to try to correct possible errors. Fine hair gets dirty easily and an anti-grease shampoo (sometimes daily) is used to wash it. But this can lead to flaking of the scalp. It is best to use a specific shampoo: a light and volumizing one. Its ingredients make the roots more hollowed out and the mane look more populated. Another mistake is not using conditioner because we think that the hair will look more flattened. But fine hair is hair that needs a lot of hydration. If not, it will look dull, lifeless and frizzy. A good option is a light or leave-in conditioner, which does not weigh down or add weight.
Tricks to give it more body. To visually gain volume in your hair, try changing your part often or go for a layered, wavy hair. The key is for the hair to "rise" and lighten so that it does not look straight. Ah! and uses finishing products such as volumizing sprays or dry shampoos, they help to “thicken” the hair on the spot.

Fight dryness

The problem: "Look, I use creams, but there is no way to combat the dryness of my skin."

The drier the skin, the more fine lines and wrinkles are marked. How to avoid it? Providing hydration and extra nutrition, to recover the water and lipids that are missing.

Change of toiletry bag. When you comment, that you apply creams and do not notice results, it is because, possibly, your skin has become more demanding and needs more concentrated products (serums and boosters) to complete the action of your facial creams day and night, which should have more enriched and nutritious textures.
The safe bet. In your facial routine, a good option would be that before a cream with retinol (increases the formation of collagen and provides luminosity) or soy isoflavones (improves the nutrition of the skin), you incorporate a serum with hyaluronic acid, the hydrating ingredient and quintessential anti-aging that restores juiciness and youth to the skin.
And as for the body … Perhaps it would be a good time to change the body milk for other textures such as vegetable oils (with ingredients such as evening primrose or rosehip), or for body butters, such as shea, one of the most nutritious .

Eye with the double chin

The problem: "At 58 I don't look bad at all, but I'm horrified that I get a double chin."

How do we understand you! The double chin or double chin visually shortens the neck and adds years and kilos! even if you are in your weight.

Stylize your neck. If you want to prevent double chin, which becomes more evident with age because the skin is less elastic, you can do it with redensifying cosmetics for neck and décolleté. Applied day and night with the help of a mini roller or massage roller, it has a draining and smoothing action. There are also specific masks to provide more firmness to the neck. Take advantage of the action of its tensing active ingredients, applying it once a week.
Without going through the operating room. If the sagging of the chin area is quite evident, it can be solved without resorting to a lifting: from facial radiofrequency, which favors the production of collagen, to mesotherapy (microinjections of vitamins and tightening ingredients) to hyaluronic acid infiltrations.
