At 40, you certainly have achieved a lot. Your career, love life, and social life would most likely be at the peak. You have already made enough money, friends, and family. However, while everything will appear rosy and engaging, you’ll start noticing that signs of aging will show on your skin – skin dryness, wrinkles, dullness, and acne. The good news is that these changes are often reversible. Using a good skin care regime with the right anti-aging and moisturizing solutions can help revive and give your skin a health boost.

What Kind of Skin Care Products to Use and Avoid?
Get acquainted with these safe and effective skin care products, and watch as your skin maintains that youthful and firm look.
- Natural Toners—at age 40, your skin will start to dry and become imbalanced. Use toners that have natural peptides and botanicals to hydrate and give your skin a smoother and firmer look.
- Safe Chemical Exfoliators—when you are past 40 years of age, your skin becomes more prone to sun and age spots. By exfoliating it with lactic acid moisturizers, you help give it a smoother and cleaner look.
- Face Oils—quality and natural face oils will hydrate and keep your skin looking healthier and firmer.
- Anti-Aging Moisturizers – get high-end and well-formulated anti-aging moisturizers and keep your skin looking youthful and lovely.

Watch out for these skincare products when at age 40 or above:
- Counterfeit Skincare Products—counterfeit products are of substandard quality. Some just won’t work while others will damage your skin.
- Cleaning Brushes with Nylon Bristles—nylon brushes are harsh, and when used for long, they can cause skin breakouts.

Raising a wrinkle-free and healthy-looking skin is not a one-day undertaking. It’s a progressing endeavor that requires dedication and commitment. For women’s over 40 years of age, these are time-proven tricks to maintain radiant and wrinkle-free skin.
- Eat Enough Fruits and Vegetables—organically grown vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants ideal for boosting collagen production. Collagen is the protein responsible for making blood vessels and cells grow and the skin to remain firm and strong.
