Skincare in Your 60s and Beyond: Support, Simplicity, and Skin Strength

Skincare in your 60s isn’t about turning back the clock — it’s about caring for your skin in a way that feels respectful, nourishing, and empowering.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we work with many clients over 60 who are looking for gentle, effective ways to improve hydration, firmness, and overall skin health. The goal isn’t to “anti-age” — it’s to support ageing well, with confidence and care.

Here’s how we approach mature skin in a boutique clinical setting.

Understanding the Needs of Mature Skin

As we age, the skin undergoes several natural changes:

  • Reduced collagen and elastin production

  • Slower cell turnover

  • A thinner epidermal layer

  • Increased dryness and sensitivity

  • More visible vascular changes and pigmentation

These changes don’t need to be feared — but they do mean your skin requires a slightly different approach than it did in your 30s or 40s.

Effective (and Gentle) In-Clinic Options

We focus on treatments that stimulate collagen, enhance glow, and support comfort — without compromising skin health.

Recommended treatments include:

Every recommendation is based on consultation — your skin health, medical history, and comfort always come first.

What Mature Skin Needs at Home

A great skin care routine in your 60s focuses on:

  • Supporting the barrier with nourishing moisturisers

  • Minimising water loss with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane

  • Protecting skin daily with SPF

  • Avoiding harsh active ingredients unless professionally recommended

If your skin feels sensitive, dry, or reactive — it might be time to strip back and rebuild with the right products. We can help you do that, step by step.

Mindset Matters, Too

Your skin tells a story — and that story includes a lifetime of expression, resilience, and experience. Our approach is always respectful, collaborative, and patient-centred. We want you to feel empowered by your skincare, not pressured by trends.
