What is a treatment goal for mature skin?

Exfoliating
Firming
Hydrating
Brightening

The correct answer is: Hydrating

Hydrating is a central treatment goal for mature skin due to the natural decrease in moisture and elasticity that occurs as individuals age. Mature skin tends to become drier, which can lead to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and a lack of radiance. By focusing on hydration, estheticians can help restore moisture levels, improve skin texture, and enhance overall appearance. When hydration is prioritized, the skin can better maintain its suppleness and barrier function, leading to healthier and more youthful-looking skin. Additionally, hydrating products can support other important functions, such as enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments and improving the skin's resilience. While exfoliating and firming are also beneficial for mature skin, they often complement the hydration process rather than serve as the primary treatment goal. Brightening can address uneven skin tone, but it generally does not target the fundamental issue of moisture loss that is particularly prominent in mature skin. Therefore, focusing on hydration is essential for achieving optimal results in the treatment of mature skin.
