Skin That Looks Thinner With Age: What You Are Seeing and What Softens It
Skin that shows veins and looks fragile is thinner in fact, and no cosmetic changes that. What a cosmetic can honestly change is how the surface looks, and that turns out to be a lot.
What it looks like
Veins showing through on the temples, hands and chest. A translucent, slightly shiny surface. Fine lines that look etched rather than folded. Bruising more easily.
What tends to be behind the look
Skin loses thickness and the fat beneath it with age, faster in skin that has had a lot of sun. Dryness makes thin skin look more fragile than it is.
What helps the look
Hydration, which gives the surface a plumper, less translucent look. Sunscreen, to stop it thinning faster. Gentle handling, no tugging. A rich cream at night.
What does not
Anything that claims to thicken or rebuild skin. Firming devices. Harsh actives on skin that is already fragile.
Where a PDRN roller serum fits
Use the lightest possible pressure, or skip the roller and apply the PDRN serum with fingertips if your skin bruises easily. Where the roller does suit, its even film of serum gives thin skin the plumped, less see through look that is the honest best a cosmetic can offer.
A routine that takes a minute
- Cleanse with a cream or milk cleanser.
- Roll the serum with no pressure, or press it on by hand.
- Rich cream over the top.
- Sunscreen and a hat, every day.
Where Silka fits
Silka is a PDRN serum with a microneedle roller head on the bottle, made and shipped from New Zealand. The roller is the most practical way we know to put PDRN on every night: the head spreads the serum evenly across face and neck, nothing is left behind in your palm, and the whole routine takes about a minute, which is the part that makes a habit last.
