Last year around this time, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal called, "The Bright Side of 2022" by Zachary Karabell. One line in particular stood out to me. "Much will continue to go tragically and spectacularly wrong, but that shouldn’t keep us recognizing and celebrating all that goes right." I think this year has been hallmarked by that line, and in that vein, I want to start this post differently than I normally do, with all that has gone right.

Ciao, 2023!

A little over a 11 years ago, during a very dark place in my life I started Je M'appelle Chanel on a Macbook in my Mom's house. Originally the blog was nameless, but one day not long after I had started it I was drifting off to sleep, and it came to me, Je M'appelle Chanel.

Most of my style blog posts start out with a story of how the piece caught my eye, but to be completely honest I can't remember when I first clocked this piece. Only that I did, and that it feels like I spent eternity (a little under 2 years) doing some Gatsby level pining for this jumpsuit.

Another year older and another year wiser (here's hoping), but what remains the same no matter what age is my dedication to my skincare routine. Taking care of my skin has been an important aspect of my life since I was teen and is something that makes me feel good. Dedicating time to my skin—eating well, staying hydrated, and exercising daily, has helped me get to a point where I can say I have the best skin of my life (and I am feeling better about the skin I'm in).

One of my favorite parts of my skincare routine is applying serums. Who doesn't love using a bottle with an eye dropper? Its so luxurious! Serums are one of the most important parts of your skincare routine because of how beneficial they can be in the long run. Getting a serum for anti-aging, brightening, or hydration, only works with consistency aka a daily skincare regimen—so how can you layer serums properly for mature skin?


If you’re getting into serums, it’s important to know how to layer them for your mature skin!


So what classifies mature skin? Really its just older skin that can start as early as your late 20s ðŸ‘€ It's important to identify and know what age range you’re dealing with so you can properly take care of it.

 

Mature skin is classified as when it starts to show some aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or potentially some sun damage. It also depends on the person as to when their skin will start to mature and age, and can vary. There are many factors that go into your skin aging that can consist of genetics, hormones, your everyday life style, and even your diet.


What Are the Signs of Aging Skin?

Something that you may want to consider if you have mature skin is, how to know that your skin is aging, and if it is at a rapid pace. Developing a skincare routine that works well with your skin and doing it morning and night is crucial for the best results possible.

 

Some of the commons signs of aging skin can consist of the following:

  • Visible pores 
  • Uneven Skin tone 
  • Fine lines and wrinkles  (Something I struggle with!)
  • Blotchiness 
  • Age spots
  • Rough texture

How to Keep Your Skin Youthful

Many people suffer from premature skin aging and they don’t even realize what it is that they did to activate it. There are many factors that can cause your skin to age faster, but there are also many preventative steps that you can take in order to take care of your skin for many years.

 

There are some essential steps to keep your skin looking healthy for longer and they consist of:


  • Wear sunscreen daily (Y'all know I'm religious about this)
  •  Cleanse skin everyday + apply a facial moisturizer everyday
  • Have a nourishing and balanced diet
  • Move your body often during the week
  • Avoid repetitive facial expressions
  • Refrain from skin products that sting or burn your skin

Consider learning more about how serums benefit mature skin! Also, wanted to share this post from Atone Beauty. You are the worth the time it takes to learn how to nourish yourself best.
