Fabulous Skin After 40

Being over 40 does not mean you have to settle for dull and lifeless skin that looks older than you feel. This is a time when you should celebrate who you are and you should feel more than beautiful in yur own skin; you should feel exceptional! There are steps you can take to help your skin look luscious, dewy, and more youthful.

1. Begin with a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip away your precious oil barrier. Harsh cleansers that strip your skin will actually make it look older over time. You want your skin to feel clean and pure, not tight with the life sucked out of it.
Good choice- Renu Derma Natural Gel Cleanser

2. Exfoliate your skin with an effective facial scub, enzyme peel, or home microdermabrasion system two to three times a week. This will polish the surface of your skin, increase cell turnover, and help your other products work more effectively. Exfoliation is key to younger looking skin that feels smooth and soft.

3. Using light therapy to rejuvenate your skin can make your skin look brighter, younger, and more vibrant. Red LED and infrared LED lights penetrate deep into the layers of your skin repairing, stimulating, energizing, healing, and regenerating cells, promoting healthier skin. If you suffer with adult acne then blue light therapy can help to prevent and treat existing breakouts by killing the acne causing bacteria, P. acnes, while helping to control oil production.

4. Add an anti-aging serum to your repertoire. Vitamin A (such as retinol), vitamin C (such as L-ascorbic acid), and peptides are effective and proven ingredients that fight aging with vigor. Serums are more concentrated and have the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin than creams and lotions making them a powerful option for combatting the signs of age.

5. Moisturize and feed your skin deeply with nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and borage oil. Combining these ingredients with proven anti-aging powerhouses such as retinol and peptides can further promote your age fighting efforts.
