Embracing Aging: Skincare as Self-Care for Every Stage of Life

Aging is not something to fear but to embrace. It's a journey filled with wisdom, strength, and beauty. At Nakery Beauty, we believe that skincare is an essential part of this journey—an act of self-care that honors the changes we go through while enhancing our natural beauty. Whether you’re just entering your 30s or have gracefully embraced your 50s and beyond, Nakery Beauty is here to empower you to love the skin you’re in. Our products are designed to meet the evolving needs of your skin, celebrating every stage of life with nourishing, clean, and effective solutions. Our focus is not just on appearance but on cultivating confidence, health, and self-love through every drop of product. Skincare at Nakery Beauty is not just about looking great; it’s about feeling great, too.

A Mission Built on Empowerment and Innovation

At Nakery Beauty, our mission is rooted in empowerment. Our founder, Liz Folce, created this brand with the intention of offering women high-performing, luxurious skincare solutions that would address their unique needs. Our focus is particularly on women over 50—an often underrepresented group in the beauty industry. Aging is not a barrier to beauty; it's a new opportunity to create a skincare routine that works in harmony with your changing skin. Nakery Beauty’s products are not just designed to treat skin—they are formulated to empower women by giving them the tools to feel beautiful at every age. We’ve combined cutting-edge innovation with clean beauty principles to develop products that deliver results you can see and feel. Our commitment to science-driven formulations ensures that every product is both safe and effective. We aim to challenge the status quo of beauty standards, encouraging women to embrace the aging process with grace, confidence, and self-love. With Nakery Beauty, you’ll find products that support your skin as it evolves, helping you look and feel your best no matter your age.

Celebrating Every Curve and Contour

At Nakery Beauty, we believe that beauty doesn’t stop at your face—it extends to every curve, every contour. As we age, our bodies undergo changes that deserve to be embraced, not hidden. Whether it’s the skin on our neck, arms, or legs, every inch deserves care and attention. Our products are designed to cater to the entire body, offering targeted solutions for everything from sagging skin to stretch marks and body texture. We understand that aging is not just a facial concern but one that encompasses the whole body, and Nakery Beauty provides comprehensive solutions for every part of you. Our Lifting + Tightening products, for example, are formulated to target the neck and décolletage, areas that often show signs of aging first. With our body care line, including Body Butters and Body Wash, you can nourish and pamper your skin, while our firming creams provide solutions for sagging, boosting your confidence to flaunt your fabulous self. Nakery Beauty encourages women to love every part of their body, celebrating every change, every line, and every curve.

Addressing Common Skin Concerns at Any Age

As we age, our skin faces challenges that require thoughtful care. From fine lines to loss of volume and crepey skin, these concerns are natural but not insurmountable. Nakery Beauty is here to offer targeted solutions for each of these common skin issues, allowing you to address them head-on with products that deliver real results. We understand that skincare needs evolve, and our formulas are designed to meet the demands of every stage of life. For women in their 20s and 30s, prevention is key, and our brightening serums and cleansers are designed to help maintain radiant, youthful skin. In the 40s and 50s, products focused on lifting, tightening, and collagenreplenishment became more important. Our collagen boosting serum and lifting creams are packed with peptides and hyaluronic acid to help restore volume and elasticity. For those struggling with crepey texture or dryness, our rich body butters and serums provide deep hydration and skin-smoothing benefits. Nakery beauty’s products are formulated to tackle these concerns head-on, giving you the tools to age gracefully and confidently.

Hydration and Moisture: A Lifelong Commitment

Hydration is one of the most important elements of skincare, no matter your age. As we get older, the skin’s ability to retain moisture diminishes, which can lead to dryness, dullness, and fine lines. At Nakery Beauty, we emphasize the importance of maintaining hydration throughout the aging process. Our products are formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, and shea butter, which are known for their moisture-retaining properties. Our body butters and body washes help lock in moisture, keeping your skin soft and nourished all day long. For the face, our serums and lifting creams hydrate the skin while also addressing aging concerns like sagging and fine lines. Regularly hydrating your skin not only keeps it looking youthful but also supports its overall health and vitality. At Nakery Beauty, we believe that maintaining hydration is an ongoing commitment—one that pays off in smoother, plumper, and more radiant skin. Whether you’re hydrating the face or the body, our products are designed to keep your skin nourished and glowing at every age.

Sun Protection: Your Best Anti-Aging Tool

One of the most effective ways to prevent premature aging is by protecting your skin from the sun. UV rays are a major cause of wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging skin. That’s why at Nakery Beauty, we emphasize the importance of sunscreen in every skincare routine. While Nakery Beauty doesn’t currently have a sunscreen product, we believe it’s essential to incorporate sun protection into your daily regimen, especially as you age. Wearing sunscreen helps to shield the skin from the harmful effects of UV exposure, preventing further damage and allowing your other skincare products, like serums and lifting creams, to work more effectively. A good sunscreen will not only protect against sunburns but also help maintain skin tone and elasticity. Combine sun protection with our hydrating and anti-aging products for the ultimate defense against the signs of aging. At Nakery Beauty, we encourage women to make sun protection a daily priority, embracing skincare as self-care every day.

Nourishing Ingredients for Mature Skin

As we age, our skin’s needs evolve, and the ingredients that once worked may no longer be as effective. This is why Nakery Beauty continuously innovates to provide products that evolve alongside your skin. As your skin matures, it requires ingredients that go beyond hydration and cleansing, and instead focus on addressing the deeper signs of aging. Our carefully curated formulations incorporate nourishing, science-backed ingredients like peptides, retinol, and hyaluronic acid, which have been proven to support collagen production and restore skin elasticity. These powerful ingredients help smooth fine lines, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and promote a firmer, plumper complexion.

Take, for instance, our Collagen-Boosting Serum. This serum is infused with ingredients that actively stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity. By boosting collagen levels, the skin regains a youthful texture, reducing the sagging that often occurs with age. Similarly, our Lifting Creams are designed to target the deeper layers of the skin. The inclusion of peptides in this formula helps improve skin elasticity and tightens the surface, which makes it more resilient and smooth.

Our Brightening Serums work wonders for uneven skin tone and dark spots. Age spots and discoloration are common concerns as we age, and our Brightening Serums offer a gentle yet effective solution. By targeting melanin production, these serums help restore a more even, luminous complexion, so your skin appears fresh and youthful. These ingredients don’t just tackle individual concerns—they work synergistically to deliver long-term results that you can see and feel. At Nakery Beauty, we use the best possible ingredients that support the skin's health and appearance. Whether you're focusing on firming, brightening, or smoothing, our formulations are designed to meet the needs of your skin at every stage of life, ensuring it looks radiant, youthful, and revitalized for years to come.

Beyond the Face: Skincare for the Body

When it comes to skincare, many people tend to focus on their face. However, as we age, it’s essential to give equal attention to the skin on our body. Areas like the neck, décolletage, arms, and legs are just as prone to showing the signs of aging, such as dryness, sagging, and crepey texture. Nakery Beauty understands this and provides a complete body care line that targets these concerns with precision.

Our body wash isn’t just about cleansing—it’s formulated to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and refreshed after every use. It gently cleanses without stripping moisture, ensuring your skin stays balanced and hydrated. For deeper hydration and smoother skin, our Body Butters are packed with rich emollient ingredients like shea butter, which help to smooth rough patches, improve skin texture, and provide intense moisture. These body butters lock in hydration for long-lasting softness, making your skin feel luxurious.

For areas prone to sagging and loss of firmness, our lifting + tightening formulas come to the rescue. These targeted treatments are designed to firm and tighten the skin, focusing on areas like the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. They help restore a more youthful, lifted appearance, reducing the look of sagging. These products are powered by ingredients known for their firming and tightening effects, providing visible results with regular use.

Nakery Beauty believes that body care should be just as luxurious and effective as facial skincare. We encourage you to treat your whole body with the same level of care and attention. Whether you’re looking to hydrate, firm, or tighten, Nakery Beauty offers the perfect solutions for all your body care needs. By incorporating these essential products into your routine, you’ll enjoy a more radiant, smoother, and youthful-looking body. Skincare is a full-body experience, and we’re here to help you love every inch of your skin.

The Connection Between Mental Wellness and Skincare

Skincare is more than just a physical routine; it’s also a mental and emotional experience. Taking the time to care for your skin is an act of self-love and self-respect. At Nakery Beauty, we understand that looking good can directly impact how we feel. Skincare can be a soothing ritual, a moment of relaxation and indulgence, allowing you to center yourself and focus on self-care. When we feel good about our appearance, we often feel more confident and empowered in other areas of our lives. Our products are designed to offer not just physical benefits but emotional ones as well. From the luxurious textures of our body butters to the uplifting scents of our lip care products, every aspect of Nakery Beauty is crafted to delight the senses. Embracing aging through skincare is not only about maintaining a youthful appearance but also about nurturing your mental wellness, knowing that taking care of yourself is a powerful act of self-respect.

Customizing Your Skincare Routine at Different Ages

Your skincare routine doesn’t have to stay the same as you age. In fact, it should evolve to meet your skin’s changing needs. At Nakery Beauty, we believe in customizing your routine for optimal results. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, the ingredients and products that work for you will change as your skin does. For younger skin, a focus on hydration and brightening is key, and our Cleansers and Serums are perfect for this. As you enter your 40s and 50s, your routine should focus on lifting, tightening, and collagen production. Products like our Lifting Creams and Collagen-Boosting Serums will help target sagging skin and restore volume. Whatever stage you’re at, Nakery Beauty offers a range of products to address your specific needs, so you can create a routine that works for you. With Nakery Beauty, you’ll find solutions that evolve with your skin, helping you embrace the process of aging with grace and confidence.

In these poignant photographs capturing the final years of my grandparents in Fort Worth, Texas, a subtle but profound narrative of their emotional fragility unfolds. The visible physical and emotional challenges documented in my photographs of my grandparents echo the broader reality faced by many older adults. Late-life depression, a topic intricately woven into the fabric of their experiences, becomes a lens through which we can explore the complexities of aging.

As the demographic landscape undergoes a transition, with more elders and fewer children, the prevalence of conditions like depression in older adults gains significance. The photos of my grandparents, embodying the isolation and emotional despair often associated with aging, resonate with the broader understanding that depression affects about one in ten people over the age of 65 (O'Donoghue & Ryan, 2011). Major depression, impacting 1-2% of older adults, takes a toll on their overall well-being, contributing to disability and even premature death, as recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) (Zivin, 2013).

Delving deeper into their story, the photos become more than mere snapshots; they become windows into the psychosocial and organic pathways influencing late-life depression. The loss of independence, the challenges of coping with medical conditions, and the impact of significant life events are threads intricately woven into the narrative. Just as the statistics underscore the global burden of late-life depression, my grandparents' story serves as a personal testament to the emotional complexities faced by older individuals.

These glimpses into my grandparents' late-life journey underscore the urgency of addressing mental health challenges in the elderly. Their story, like those of many others, prompts a reflection on the need for comprehensive strategies that encompass prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Through their experiences, we see a call to action, advocating for tailored interventions and fostering a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of late-life depression.

One of my favorite things about Neve is that she's disabled, and she has a banter with Taash about ableism and how if she asks for help with one thing because of her leg some people will assume she can't do anything, so she tends not to ask. That's so real.
