Tips from the L’Oréal mature skin experts
L’Oréal Paris national education and training manager Bronwyn Fraser shares her advice for keeping skin gorgeous at any age…
What happens to our skin as we get older?
As we age, our skin becomes more fragile and less radiant, which can leave us looking washed out.
What role does skincare play in self-confidence?
Practicing self-care with a daily skincare regime helps us feel great.
What’s the most common skincare mistake when it comes to mature skin?
Understanding that our skin has changed, and therefore needs different ingredients and care to keep it looking soft and radiant. Regime consistency is key too, ensuring we use products specially formulated for daytime when we need hydration and protection, and in the evening, when our skin renews itself while we sleep.
