Regular facials with massage can help increase the skin's circulation. Firming masks and hydrating treatments with mild exfoliation will also help to rejuvenate the skin's appearance. Sun avoidance is critical, and consistent use of moisturizers and products containing anti-aging staples like retinoids, AHA's, antioxidants, and humectants will help to reduce the signs of aging skin on the face and neck, and the ravages of hormone loss. There are many nonsurgical techniques that your Dermatologist can recommend. You can't cure fine lines and wrinkles, but you can control them.
Maintenance is the most important part.
The changes in the skin you experience in your fifties continue through the sixties, seventies and beyond. By now, your skin tone is becoming increasingly lax and jowls and excess folds of skin are the norm. Skin takes on a lighter color due to decreased circulation, and the results of cumulative sun exposure are most apparent. These changes are all part of the normal aging process, and genetics as well as lifestyle factors play an important role in determining how well you will age. After menopause, when estrogen is no longer produced, added moisturization is critical.
