Skincare Tips For Women In Their 40s

How to keep your skin looking radiant - by Sally Hunwick
  • 16 Sep 2019
Skincare Tips For Women In Their 40s

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOUR SKIN?

“The skin’s natural exfoliation process slows, so there’s less collagen and elastin to maintain [skin] firmness,” says Becky Watkins, SkinCeuticals associate vice-president for global education.

THE ISSUES

MELASMA “[Can occur] post pregnancy or after [ending] the Pill,” says Hkeik.

DULLNESS “Collagen and elastin production are reduced,” says Hkeik.

SPOTS “Hormonal acne is another issue in this age group,” says Gross.

SKINCARE UPDATE

RETINOL “The dermatologist’s gold-standard ingredient to promote cell turnover, lines and wrinkles, and pigmentation,” says Watkins.

Try: Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream, $125.

Murad

HYALURONIC ACID “A natural humectant, hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturiser when applied topically,” says Watkins.

Try: Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Hydration Booster, $104.

CERAMIDES These fatty acids will help “promote barrier repair”, says Watkins.

Try: Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum, $150.

NIACINAMIDE “It helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier and reduce discoloration and blotchiness,” says Watkins.

Try: Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster, $62.

THE TREATMENTS TO BOOK

LASER “Non-invasive lasers stimulate collagen from within your own skin cells in a 3D way,” says Gross.

CHEMICAL PEELS “A daily peel at home, alternating with a stronger chemical professional peel once a month helps boost collagen production,” says Gross.

Try: Dr Dennis Gross Professional Grade Resurfacing Step 1 and Step 2, $168.

INJECTIONS “Collagen injections ... fillers and Botox are options to fill or deplete lines and wrinkles,” says Gross.

AT-HOME TECH

Tighten facial contours, boost skin tone and reduce the look of wrinkles with this microcurrent-powered device.

Try: NuFACE Trinity Mini, $299.
