The promises of miracle anti-aging solutions and the race for rejuvenation are long overdue. Rather than fighting the signs of aging at all costs, at Payot we prefer to support them, slow them down, and enhance them. Because a beautiful face is ageless, discover our tips for aging gracefully and revealing mature skin!
Opt for active ingredients that correct the signs of aging
Skin changes throughout a woman's life. As we age, the muscles of the forehead and chin compress, forming deep, transverse and longitudinal wrinkles. The cheek region, on the other hand, sags, causing the corners of the mouth to droop. As a result, the skin loses firmness, wrinkles increase, and the oval of the face becomes distorted. While there's no magic formula to stop the natural aging of the skin, certain active ingredients with targeted action can slow and correct it.
Peptides
Collagen plays a fundamental role in the loss of skin firmness. Secreted by fibroblasts, it ensures the cohesion, elasticity, mechanical resistance, and regeneration of the body's tissues. A true support structure naturally present in the skin, collagen production peaks around the age of 20, then slows down slightly each year. After age 45, collagen renewal decreases significantly. Fibroblasts are less stimulated, causing skin thinning and a loss of tone. Wrinkles also become increasingly visible.
Clinically proven to stimulate fibroblasts and increase the production of collagen fibers, peptides act as redensifying agents, correcting skin loss while boosting its elasticity. Ideal for skin lacking firmness from the age of forty, peptides improve skin structure and promote resilience.
The Damask rose
Damask rose boosts cellular metabolism and restores the functions of the skin's supporting tissues, whose activity weakens with age. Rich in oligosaccharides, collagen-boosting sugars, and plumping agents, Damask rose normalizes fibroblast behavior and boosts their metabolism to compensate for the loss of matter. This ancient symbol of beauty and balance has powerful regenerative powers.
To firm and reshape the oval of the face, Payot has created a range that expertly combines collagen-boosting peptides and Damask rose: Roselift. A way to reinvent firmness for plump, radiant skin so that every woman feels in harmony with her age. Discover Concentré, a powerful serum to instantly redensify the skin; Crème Liftante, a shape-memory day cream to tone the skin; Crème Sculptante Nuit, a resculpting night cream to redensify facial volume; and Regard, a lifting eye contour treatment for drooping eyelids. In addition, all Roselift products contain hyaluronic acid to slow the appearance of wrinkles.

Massage the face to naturally firm mature skin
With bare hands or using an accessory, massaging the skin stimulates and relaxes facial muscles. Originating from Chinese medicine, the rose quartz gua sha tones and lifts the skin. Heart-shaped, it adapts to the contours of the face and boosts fascia tone. To sculpt the oval of the face, place the "butterfly" side of the gua sha so that it encompasses the jawline, then smooth from the chin to the ear. To smooth crow's feet, slide the gua sha from the outer corner of the eye to the hairline with the thinnest corner. Another accessory suitable for slowing down the signs of aging: the quartz roller. Also made of rose quartz, it sculpts, stimulates, and firms the tissues. To smooth facial skin, use the raised part and make small vertical and then horizontal smoothing movements in a back-and-forth motion. Cover the entire face, starting from the cheek and going up to the forehead.
Adopt face yoga to slow down skin aging
Beauty has always been in motion at Payot. A pioneer in facial gymnastics, the brand developed the iconic Gestuelle®, a sport unlike any other. One minute a day is enough to re-tone the face with easy and fun exercises. With your feet firmly planted on the ground, your face relaxed, and a touch of self-deprecation abound, repeat each of the suggested facial expressions three times. A series of cheerful expressions and grimaces to smooth wrinkles, erase jowls, tone the eye contour, and even erase crow's feet. This year, Payot is partnering with Sylvie Lefranc, the renowned French facial yoga teacher, to co-create three facialist-style Gestuelles. They work on the deep structures of the skin and awaken the natural beauty of the face through simple and precise gestures.
