As you age, your skin typically produces less collagen and elastin, making it more prone to dryness and dehydration. Therefore, if you have mature skin, all elements in your skincare routine should be gentle and non-irritating, including any devices you use. “Mature skin is often thinner with decreased collagen and is more prone to injury,” explains Jennifer Herrmann, MD, a board-certified dermatologist.
When selecting skincare devices, you must be cautious. Avoid devices that may potentially harm your skin or have adverse effects. “When treating mature skin, something you always want to keep in mind is to make sure you’re not pulling or rubbing the skin too harshly,” advises Lisa Guidi, esthetician, and founder of Erase Spa in New York City, as this can lead to irritation.
Here are the expert-approved skincare tools to consider for mature skin care if you are over the age of 50.

Dr. Herrmann recommends this at-home micro needling device for mature skin types. “Microneedling and LED light help to stimulate collagen synthesis and enhance the penetration of other topical products through the skin’s barrier more effectively,” she explains. The tiny needles trigger the skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen production and regular use can help improve skin tone and texture.

Another collagen-stimulating device is the NuFace, recommended by Guidi to address fine lines. “Microcurrent therapy rejuvenates the skin and aids in natural collagen production,” she says. By sending current through the skin, it stimulates collagen-building proteins, resulting in a firmer, depuffed, and sculpted face by working the muscles.

Guidi suggests using a vibrating face massage bar like this one in combination with a microcurrent device. “It uses high-frequency vibration to quickly relax facial muscles and aids in lymphatic drainage massage,” she explains. Providing similar benefits to a jade roller, the vibration enhances the facial contouring effect, especially with regular use.
