Tired of searching high and low for a skincare routine for older women? Youthforia founder Fiona Chan is taking the guesswork out of skincare for women over 50. She revealed her 62-year-old mother's skincare routine on TikTok. Below, we're breaking down Chan's beauty routine along with the Youthforia products she relies on.
62-Year-Old's Skincare Routine Starts with Sunscreen and Primer
"Protect your skin, so sunscreen and primer every single day," Chan shares of her mother's routine. "She has really dry skin and she's at the age where fine lines are appearing so she's very cognizant of making sure everything in her skincare routine is hydrating and moisturizing."

"She struggles finding a foundation that doesn't make her look older and she likes that it's not drying on her skin so won't emphasize dry patches or fine lines," Chan explains. "... she'll avoid anything that is too drying for her skin. So she avoids powder formulas, or anything that's too heavy coverage or too viscous [or] thick." That's where Youthforia's serum foundation comes in.

For Chan's mother, it's all about mixing skincare into her makeup. "She's been doing this for years to have a glowy effect," says Chan.

One product that helps her achieve that youthful glow is Youthforia's BYO Blush, which reacts to your skin’s natural pH to instantly give you the perfect shade of natural flush.

Chan has seen improvements to her skin thanks to this blush first-hand: "I created this during the pandemic so I had my tested this on my husband. I remember being blown away that it was a different color on him. Both me and my husband [used] BYO Blush for two months and woke up with better skin."
Nighttime Face Cleanser for Older Women
Chan's mother uses Youthforia's Night Off Face Wash at the end of the day to remove daytime skincare and makeup. "She LOVES our Night Off Face Wash because it's not too drying," the beauty mogul says.
"She actually not only uses it on her face but also uses it also as a hand soap because she finds conventional hand soaps too harsh and stripping, which caused more premature aging on one hand vs the other. She saw the big difference it had on her really dry hands and that made her really love it as a face wash product because it's really gentle and non-stripping."
