Essential Skincare Products For Your 40s

March 27, 2017

In your 40s, your life begins to catch up with your skin. You'll notice expression lines start to deepen into fully-fledged wrinkles, your neck and decollete area lose its suppleness and sun damage will begin to appear as dark splotches and hyperpigmentation. Plus, it's common for women to begin experiencing hormone change. Your oestrogen levels start to taper which causes hormone-related skin problems such as pre-menopausal dryness. So you need to consider tweaking your routine with some essential skincare products designed for your 40s.

Extra Hydration

As you age, your skin's oil production gradually reduces meaning skin becomes drier and requires an extra hydration boost. The Cyto-Luxe Hydration+ is one of our essential skincare products. It incorporates Dermatein® HyA Mini, a Hyaluronic Acid with a smaller molecular size so it can penetrate further into the skin than conventional ingredients. This product will help to dramatically improve your skin’s water content and firmness.

Tackle Dark Spots

One of our essential skincare products that can help treat hyperpigmentation and fade dark spots is the Brightening Serum. You can use it all over or as a spot treatment to target pigmented areas.

Brighten, Lighten, Tighten

The Ultra 15% Vitamin C contains peptides that help to decrease wrinkles and a botanical extract to help fight glycation (the impact of sugar on the skin). Discover all the incredible benefits of Vitamin C here. We also recommend a product such as glo therapeutics CS. This includes retinol, glycolic acid and natural brighteners to minimise the appearance of fine lines, pores, and skin texture irregularities. Apply it in the evenings for 2-5 times per week. However, the retinol in this product can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to wear sun protection daily as well.
