Mature skin issues - it's a challenge!!!

Ladies, I would say those of you 50 and over, are you finding your complexion to be really changing and challenging?

I am 59 and have always had super sensitive skin, but just lately am noticing that my skin appears to be getting more and more fragile, cranky, taunt, and thin and does not seem to like anything! The moisturizer I have been using with great success and no irritation, though still not irritating, is not doing anything much for me suddenly. My skin looks very tired, withered and lifeless here lately. Kind of like a plant that is starving of nutrients and moisture. This has just started in the last couple of months.

Ever time I try and use a heavier lotion or cream though, then my skin wants to break out with actual blemishes or get white bumps. It's as though the product is too rich or heavh. I don't know what to do for my complexion to make it look more healthy, supple, moist, etc., without it acting up.

Do you experience similar problems? If so, what do you do?

Thanks so much.
