These Are the Best 5 Skin Care Tips for Women in Their 40s

Keeping your skin looking healthy once you have reached your 40s takes a little more work than it did in your 20s and 30s. However, the results are so worth it. Here are five of the best skin care tips to help keep your skin healthy and youthful.

Tip #1 – Make Sure You Are Using the Right Cleanser

The cleanser you used in your 30s may not be the right one for your skin type during your 40s. Your cleanser should match your skin type. We highly recommend SkinMedica cleansers for their gentle, anti-aging benefits.

Tip #2 – Embrace Antioxidants

Antioxidants like vitamins C and E help fend off free radicals. They help repair damage from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays and prevent further damage from occurring.

Tip #3 – Avoid Over-Exfoliation

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells to aid in cell turnover. However, it is crucial not to over-exfoliate or use an overly coarse exfoliant because your skin will respond by overproducing oil and work against the benefits of proper exfoliation.

Tip #4 – Moisturize, Moisturize

Your skin’s normal oil production slows down as you enter your 40s. You can prevent your skin from drying out by making sure to moisturize often to make up for the lack of moisture.

Tip #5 – Don’t Rule Out a Little Extra Help

Sometimes we all need a little help now and then. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, or age spots, there are numerous non-invasive and minimally-invasive skin care treatments available to minimize the effects of aging on your face.
