By the time you reach your 60s, your skin has carried you through decades of sun, smiles, late nights, and laughter. It’s earned every line—and it still deserves to feel beautiful, vibrant and well cared for.
But let’s be honest: the skincare conversation often ignores women over 60. That stops here. Because skin in its sixth decade needs attention, not abandonment.
Here’s what’s really happening to your skin in your 60s—and how to take care of it in a way that feels nourishing, not fussy.
What to Expect After 60
Post-menopausal skin is generally thinner, drier and slower to bounce back. The skin barrier becomes more delicate, meaning it loses moisture more easily and becomes more reactive. You might notice:
-
Increased dryness or roughness
-
More visible sagging or crepiness
-
Deeper lines and folds
-
A lack of natural glow
-
Sensitivity to harsh ingredients
The goal at this stage is to deeply nourish, protect, and soothe the skin—while maintaining a sense of ease and ritual.
1. Simplify Your Routine, But Make It Count
You don’t need 12 steps. What you need is quality over quantity. Focus on products that offer comfort and results, and skip anything that leaves your skin feeling tight or overwhelmed.
Start with: Velettà Cleansing Oil—a gentle, non-stripping cleanser that removes impurities while leaving your skin soft and balanced.
2. Hydrate Like It’s Your Job
Hydration is the key to soft, comfortable skin after 60. Without enough moisture, skin can feel tight, look dull, and lose its bounce.
Try: Velettà Nourishing Moisturiser—rich in natural oils like argan and avocado, it replenishes deep hydration and leaves skin glowing without heaviness.
3. Use Facial Oils to Rebuild and Repair
Oil production slows dramatically post-menopause. Adding facial oils back into your routine helps to replenish lost lipids and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier.
Try: Velettà Rejuvenating Oil—this luxurious oil is a daily saviour for dry, fragile skin. It strengthens the barrier and brings back luminosity without clogging pores.
Pro tip: Warm a few drops between your fingers and press into damp skin after your moisturiser for added nourishment.
4. Treat, Don’t Strip
Exfoliating in your 60s is still important—but it must be gentle. Harsh scrubs and potent acids can damage the skin barrier and increase redness.
Try: Velettà Youthful Glow AHA Radiance Treatment once or twice a week—its mild blend of lactic and salicylic acid smooths texture and brightens tone without irritating delicate skin.
5. Invest in Skin Comfort
Think of skincare as comfort, not correction. Choose products that feel soothing and grounding.
Using a warm face cloth, massaging in your oil, and taking a few quiet minutes for yourself is not just skincare—it’s self-care. Velettà’s approach to beauty at every age is about restoring balance, not chasing perfection.
The Bottom Line
Skincare after 60 is not about reversing time. It’s about honouring the skin you’re in, supporting its needs, and finding beauty in softness, strength, and simplicity. Velettà’s formulations are designed with mature skin in mind—using pure, potent ingredients that respect your skin’s integrity.
This is not the end of a beauty journey—it’s just a new chapter. And your skin can absolutely thrive here.
