Top Skincare Tips for Over 40s
Your skin changes in your 40s – and so should your skincare.
Hormonal shifts, slower cell turnover and collagen loss can all make skin feel different than it did in your 20s or 30s. But with the right care, your skin can absolutely thrive.
Here are five smart tips for maintaining glowing, healthy skin after 40:
1. Upgrade Your Cleanser
Swap any drying cleansers for something gentle, hydrating and pH-balanced.
Look for a cleansing foam that suits all skin types – one that lifts away impurities with a fresh, creamy lather while protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It should feel luxurious, not stripping – leaving your skin clean, soft and balanced.
2. Use Serums with Active Ingredients
Invest in high-quality serums with proven ingredients:
Vitamin C for brightening
Retinol for collagen stimulation
Hyaluronic Acid for hydration
And always make sure it suits your skin type and specific needs – the right formulation makes all the difference
3. Don’t Skip SPF
Every. Single. Day. Even on cloudy days, UV rays contribute to premature ageing. Use at least SPF 30 if not 50! Choose a broad-spectrum, mineral-based SPF – ideally SPF 50, but never less than 30.
Look for a lightweight mineral based formula that protects without clogging pores – and in summer, you can even opt for versions with a built-in tint for a natural, radiant finish.
4. Get Regular Facials
Professional treatments like electroporation, galvanic, radio frequency, microcurrent, LED therapy and microneedling can:
Improve skin tone and firmness
Boost product absorption
Target pigmentation, dullness and fine lines
Stimulate collagen
And so much more!
5. Hydrate Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water and use rich moisturisers that lock in hydration. Omega-3s in your diet (like from flaxseed or oily fish) also help skin glow from within.
