6 Skin Care Products You Should Use in Your 40s

Our 30s should be a time for you to think about anti-aging products for your skin. Your 40s are the time to get serious about it. Our skin turnover rate has slowed to more than twice the rate of our early 20s (45 vs. 20 days), and it takes longer to heal from acne and scrapes. We’ve also had enough time in the sun and pollution to harm our DNA, increasing our chance of developing cancer. “Wrinkles are most common in the areas of the face that move the most, such as the forehead, between and around the eyes, and the mouth.

This might sound scary, but there are ways to make it less frightening. 

Hydrating Cleanser

As with all the other years of your life, it is essential to cleanse your skin daily. Washing your face before bed helps remove the day’s dirt, oil, makeup, and pollution and reduces the chances of clogging pores. Washing your face before bed is also a first step in aiding your skin cells’ efforts to repair the damage from the day.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

 DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is a daily cleanser to remove dirt and other debris from the skin and nourishes the skin. This product is rich in vitamin E and olive oil, cleansing and hydrating skin without leaving behind any oil.

Anti-Serum

Your 40s, like your 30s, are all about prevention and protection with powerful antioxidants. You are keeping an antioxidant-rich serum handy to protect your skin from the effects of pollution and sun exposure.

Retinol

In your 30s, you might have started using retinol for skin care. Still, your 40s will be all about this anti-aging ingredient. There are 40+ years of scientific evidence showing that topical vitamin A (retinoids) can reduce fine lines by increasing collagen production and decreasing collagen breakdown. Retinol can also correct sun damage, improve skin texture, and minimize discoloration through increased cell turnover.
