How Does Ageing Affect Indian Skin?

Ageing in Indian skin, like in any other skin type, is a natural process that occurs over time. 

However, there are some unique characteristics and considerations for Indian skin when it comes to ageing:

• Melanin Levels:

  Indian skin generally contains more melanin, offering some natural defense against the harmful impacts of UV radiation. As a result, Indian skin might age at a slower rate compared to lighter skin types, since melanin aids in minimizing the risk of sun damage and wrinkles from sun exposure.

  
  

• Hyperpigmentation: On the other hand, increased melanin levels result in hyperpigmentation, manifesting as conditions like melasma and age spots. As one ages, the uneven distribution of skin pigments can become more prominent, making the skin appear dull and aged. To help address this issue, we highly recommend our top-selling product, Radiance Recovery Moisturising Serum by Amaltaskin, specifically formulated for Indian skin and its unique concerns!

  
  

• Dryness and Dehydration: Extreme weather conditions, like heatwaves and humidity, can impact our skin's health. As Indian skin ages, it becomes drier, more dehydrated, and loses its natural moisture, leading to heightened sensitivity and a weakened skin barrier. Using an effective moisturizer and ensuring proper hydration is essential to counteract this. Amaltaskin's Floral Infusion is the perfect solution for this issue.

  
  

• UV Radiation and Pollution: Extended exposure to UV radiation and pollution can speed up skin ageing due to oxidative stress from free radicals in the environment. To combat these environmental aggressors, it's best to use products rich in antioxidants, such as a cream or facial oil. Amaltaskin's Fruitful, a nourishing facial oil crafted with ten different fruit oils and extracts, is a powerful antioxidant solution!

Although Indian skin may age in a unique way, the fundamental principles of skincare are universal. These principles involve daily sunscreen application, maintaining hydration, consuming a balanced diet, and using suitable skincare products that target your skin concerns.
