Skincare in Your 40s+

The 40s are a strange time. I can say this because I am at the end of them. I found the body does not feel the way it did in the 30s — and so many adjustments needed to be made in my 40s.

Exercise habits had to change, my diet had to change - as all the things I used to do before did not work anymore. The body could not keep up with high-intensity exercise, and the weight gain started. I had to stand back and reassess everything.

And my skin was no exception! Skin cell turnover had slowed down so much, to not mention collagen and elastin were nowhere to be seen. It was resulting in a dull, dry, lifeless complexion.

It was now time to up the ante on my whole skincare regime and what I needed were some serious skin treatments and better home care with active ingredients.


Firstly I decided to start with some Skin Needling as this helps to stimulate collagen & elastin, not to mention it helps to speed up cell turnover. To say I loved this treatment is an understatement. It REALLY works, plus I love the fact that the downtime is not unbearable. I would advise anyone concerned with ageing to do a course of needling. I would recommend at least 6-8.



Next course of action was to revamp my home care regime!

Now if you are in your 40's and you are not using Vitamins A, B, and C then you need to start right now.

Vitamin A is the Number one ingredient for anti-ageing. It helps speed up cell turnover, stimulates collagen and elastin, helps lighten pigmentation, helps to clear congestion and adult breakouts, helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles!

Vitamin B is also essential for the 40's & over club. It helps to hydrate the Skin, helps with pigmentation and it too helps breakouts, it is an anti-inflammatory which helps the sensitive skins.

Vitamin C will give the skin brightness and clarity. It is a potent anti-oxidant too so is going to help protect your skin cells, it also helps collagen synthesis this will result in plumping the Skin.


Once you have these in your regime, you will notice such a difference in skin tone and texture. You then have all the other complementary products that you can incorporate such as Peptides, AHA's and Hyaluronic Acid. The most important advice though is to make sure you have all your products professionally prescribed. Don't just take a guess; these products are all active based and are results-driven. They need to be right for your particular Skin.
