Understanding the Needs of Mature Skin
Understanding how your skin works allows you to better identify its needs and choose the right skincare products.
Although skin ages year after year, skin aging accelerates in women from menopause onwards. The decline in estrogen levels causes significant changes in the skin, disrupting its natural balance.
Mature skin typically presents the following characteristics:
- The skin becomes drier, sometimes rough, particularly around the cheeks and forehead.
- The complexion may appear duller or more yellow, due to protein oxidation in the dermis and slower blood circulation.
- Wrinkles and lines become more pronounced, especially around the eye and lip contours.
- Pigmentation spots become more visible and numerous.
- Collagen and elastin fibers, two essential components for skin structure, gradually deteriorate. The skin loses firmness, elasticity and suppleness.
Although these changes are a natural part of aging, external factors such as pollution, stress, UV rays and blue light can accelerate the process. Mature skin therefore requires targeted care to help maintain its balance and vitality.
What Skincare Routine Should You Adopt From Your 40s Onwards?
With the right skincare routine and daily habits, it is possible to maintain a radiant complexion while helping minimize the loss of firmness and density associated with mature skin.
To preserve your skin, choose gentle, natural and organic skincare products that provide comfort and protection to mature skin, which can be particularly delicate.
Cleanse Your Skin Thoroughly
Thoroughly cleansing the skin helps keep it fresh and allows it to better absorb the skincare products applied afterwards. As mature skin can be thinner and more sensitive, choose gentle, natural facial cleansers that purify without stripping the skin.

The first step of the Anti-Aging Cleansing Ritual, the Remarkable Cleansing Oil combines powerful anti-aging and antioxidant ingredients to effectively remove makeup and impurities. Follow with the Perfecting Cleansing Foam, enriched with antioxidants and fruit acids, which helps refine the skin's texture and restore its natural radiance. Finish the ritual with the Wrinkle-Smoothing Treatment Lotion, a collagen-boosting skincare step that helps firm the skin while enhancing the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.
Choose a Hydrating Duo
Mature skin often appears dull and dehydrated. To help prevent signs of aging from becoming more pronounced, it is important to establish an appropriate routine from your 40s onwards. On a daily basis, make hydration a priority to replenish the skin and maintain its comfort.

For intense hydration, combine an anti-aging serum with a moisturizing cream. The Fundamental Plumping Serum, with its high concentration of Pure & Natural Hyaluronic Acid, hydrates, smooths and firms the skin. The Rose Lift-Éclat Firming Cream, enriched with Active Angelica Cells, helps visibly correct signs of aging and improve skin elasticity. This youth-enhancing treatment is suitable for all skin types.
Don't Neglect the Eye Contour
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face. Targeted skincare can therefore help minimize the appearance of fine lines that develop over time.

The Youth Eye Contour Cream targets multiple visible signs of aging. Thanks to its smoothing and revitalizing complex, it helps smooth facial features and brighten a tired-looking eye area.
Exfoliate Gently
After the age of 40, the skin's natural renewal process slows down. Gentle exfoliation approximately every 10 days can therefore help support cell renewal and improve the appearance of wrinkles.
For Even More Beautiful Skin: The Pro-Collagen Lift Mask
A face mask is an essential step for maintaining the skin's balance. To provide intense hydration to mature skin, PATYKA's Advanced Research team developed the Pro-Collagen Lift Mask. This overnight treatment helps plump and smooth facial features while restoring radiance and comfort. Its innovative anti-aging formula targets visible signs of skin aging.
Key Ingredients in the Pro-Collagen Lift Mask
- Vigna Aconitifolia – Retinol-Like Active: a 100% natural ingredient that helps stimulate cell renewal and support collagen production.
- Pure & Natural Low-Molecular-Weight Hyaluronic Acid: helps deeply hydrate and visibly plump the skin.
- Amino Acids: naturally found in collagen fibers, they help support fibroblast activity, protect elastin fibers and smooth the appearance of fine lines.
- Vitamin C: a powerful antioxidant that contributes to natural collagen production, boosts radiance and helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Using antioxidant skincare can help protect skin from environmental stressors associated with premature aging.
How to Apply the Treatment
Once or twice a week, apply the Pro-Collagen Lift Mask in the evening to clean skin and leave it on overnight. Rinse in the morning. Night after night, skin feels firmer, more elastic and smoother.
For an intensive treatment, you can apply the mask every evening for one week.
