As you’re aging, are you noticing changes in your skin?

Most women’s skin changes as they get older, especially after they hit 40. Crows feet, brow lines, sun spots… the changes can be alarming, but they are common to all older women. Perhaps you’ve noticed some new sagging and that your skin just doesn’t repair itself the way it used to. Instead of freaking out, change up your skin care routine to protect and repair your mature skin.

Be sure to wash morning and night with a very mild cleanser such as Cetaphil (or the generic formula of). Many mature women develop adult-onset acne, but you’ll want to avoid the acne creams and washes sold to teens (such as Proactive). Use natural and gentle products created for mature skin like Dermalogiica’s acne wash or their gentle exfoliator, made with ground rice. After cleansing, use a moisturizer that has at least 30 SPF, and let it soak in, and then reapply just before going outside.

Skip tanning altogether. Don’t do it, not even when on a tropical beach. It’s better to be pale now and wrinkle-free (relatively) later, since sun damage is tough to reverse. It’s smart to invest in a cute beach hat, don your huge sunglasses (even more protection), and chase the shade.

To heal your skin, try Dermalogica’s Multi Vitamin Power capsules. When you crack open the little capsule, you’ll discover a wonderful mixture of vitamins C, A, and E, which feels amazing on your face. Your face will be firmer, healthier, and glowing after regular use.

If you don’t like those fine lines around your eyes, start using iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex, which stimulates collegen production. Once you’re using quality products, you’ll find you only need to dab on a little to see vast improvements in your skin.
