20 Beauty Essentials for Women Over 50
Olay has done a fantastic job in creating a daily face cream that not only contains a high SPF of 50 but also contains their exclusive Amino-Peptide +B3 Complex (Vitamin B3, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E and Green Tea Extract, along with Amino-Peptides), which claims to replenish skin's moisture barrier and regenerate skin's appearance. This product also feels very comfortable on the skin and absorbs quickly for use under makeup.

Because our skin tends to dry out as we age, it's very important to address that dryness with serious ammunition. Because we don't wear makeup for sleep (if you do, you shouldn't, because it's important to give your skin time to breathe), nighttime is the perfect time to use an emollient cream packed with vitamin oils and other nutrients to treat and nourish the skin. I've never had trouble with a rich night cream soiling my pillow, but if you have, try a satin pillowcase — satin apparently does not absorb the oils from your face so no staining!
I have two favorites in this category. The Vichy NEOVADIOL Gf Densifying Re-Sculpting Care cream is designed specifically for menopausal skin. This cream contains ProXylane and Proteic Gf, which have been shown to reconstruct skin tissues to a denser quality in only one month, by supporting its lipo-structure and stimulating the synthesis at the dermis and epidermis levels (in layman's terms, this means the product goes deep into the skin). The manufacturer claims that continued use will reveal a redefined jaw line, firmer neck and smoother lines on the face.

The Celazome Restorative Treatment Cream for Night is ideal for dry, delicate or mature skin. It is an intensive antioxidant treatment that protects and hydrates to restore clarity, softness, vibrancy and vitality to the skin. With continued use, the manufacturer claims that the appearance of fine lines will be reduced, and that the damage caused by free radicals will be counteracted. Hydrating Lyphazome and nanospheres repair the dermis, stimulate cellular regeneration and increase capillary blood flow.
