Tip #1: Wash your face with a hydrating, smoothing cleanser
A clean, hydrated base is essential for a dewy complexion – and that starts with cleanser.
For mature skin, we recommend starting your skincare routine with a gentle facial cleanser that removes impurities – like dirt, sweat, and oil – without robbing the skin of moisture.
Thankfully, the Revitalift Filler Smoothing Cleanser is up to the task. Powered by a harmonious blend of salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid, this cleanser helps support a smoother, brighter, plumper complexion, while prepping mature skin for skincare and makeup products that follow.
Tip #2: Exfoliate twice a week
Your skin undergoes a natural renewal process known as skin cell turnover.
In mature skin, this turnover rate naturally slows down, which allows dead skin cells to collect on the surface. This can lead to rough, uneven texture and dullness – the antithesis of dewy, smooth skin. If you’re struggling with how to make older skin look dewy, exfoliation could be the answer.
The Bright Reveal Dark Spot 25% [AHA + BHA + PHA] + Niacinamide Exfoliant Peel is powered by a blend of chemical exfoliants to gently slough dead skin cells and help you unveil smoother, brighter skin. We suggest applying one to two times per week in the evening after cleansing.
Tip #3: Apply a hydrating serum
If there’s one overarching piece of advice for how to get a dewy look on mature skin, it can be summarised as follows: hydration, hydration, hydration.
Mature skin is especially prone to moisture loss, so hydrating serums can effectively deliver hydrating ingredients – such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid – to the skin.
After cleansing (or exfoliating at night time), you can apply the Revitalift Filler 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum to slightly damp skin. This serum is infused with three forms of pure hyaluronic acid to help boost water retention in the skin and keep it looking supple.
Tip #4: Nourish skin with a moisturiser
Moisturising is a must if you want your skin to look plump and dewy – and it’s the foundation for any anti-ageing skincare routine. As mature skin is more susceptible to dehydration, you can seek out moisturisers with hydrating ingredients that will support moisture retention and prep your skin for when you apply a dewy foundation for mature skin.
After applying your choice of serum, follow with the Revitalift Filler Plumping Water Cream With Hyaluronic Acid. Two highly concentrated forms of hyaluronic acid and three types of ceramides work together to smooth out fine lines and plump the skin surface.
Tip #5: Use a dewy foundation for mature skin
Your choice of foundation formula will affect how it settles into mature skin.
Matte formulas, for instance, can emphasise textural concerns (like fine lines) and may give the skin a ‘flat’ appearance – diminishing radiance. On the other hand, dewy, illuminating formulas offer lightweight, natural-looking coverage that give your skin a lit-from-within glow.
When choosing a dewy foundation for mature skin, we suggest a skincare-makeup hybrid that won’t settle into fine lines or feel cakey on the skin – like the True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum. Formulated with pure hyaluronic acid, you can enjoy plumper, hydrated skin along with a naturally radiant finish.
Need an extra boost of glow? Apply the Lumi Glotion as a base under your foundation for all-over luminosity.
Tip #6: Opt for liquid and cream formulas
In keeping with the theme of your dewy foundation for mature skin, it’s best to seek out other makeup products that have a similar finish and consistency. We suggest veering away from powder formulas, which can dry out the skin and draw attention to fine lines. Instead, embrace liquid and cream formulas that amplify your dewy finish.
For your blush and highlighter needs, opt for the Lumi Le Liquid Blush and the Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick, which offer high-intensity radiance and seamless blendability.
Tip #7: Use a setting spray to lock in dewy makeup for mature skin
Once you’ve applied your dewy foundation for mature skin – along with any other face and eye products – it’s time to lock in your final look.
Powders, while great for absorbing shine and oil, can further dehydrate skin that’s already prone to dryness. Their mattifying effect can also leave skin looking a little flat, which can exaggerate dull-looking complexions.
This is where a setting spray can assist.
Setting sprays seal in products and enhance the wear of your makeup, while maintaining a dewy finish on the skin. We recommend the Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist to freeze your makeup in place – without undermining the luminous-building skincare you applied at the beginning of your routine.
We know that dewy foundation for older skin starts with a nourished base, so find the right moisturiser for your skin type next.
