Ladies, there’s no doubt about it; our skin changes as we age. What worked for us in our twenties and thirties will not be relevant to our skin now.

The skincare we use can have a tremendous impact on diminishing the signs of aging and improving our skin’s overall health.

Here are 6 skin care essentials you need in your 40s and beyond to help with the signs of aging:

1. Hydrating cleanser – washing your face before bed helps to eliminate the day’s grime of oil, makeup, pollution, and dirt. It also decreases the chance of getting clogged pores.

2. Retinoid or retinol (vitamin A derivative) Or Bakuchiol (a natural alternative to retinol) -Vitamin A is a powerful multitasker, able to reverse sun damage, stimulate collagen production, decrease wrinkling, retexturize the surface of the skin, and even out pigmentation.

3. Antioxidant serum with vitamin C – increases radiance, builds firmness, increases collagen, and helps prevent skin from the effects of pollution. Adding vitamin C to your skincare routine can not only brighten your complexion but also protect against skin damage caused by sun exposure and harmful free radicals.

4. Moisturizer – As we age, a good moisturizer can help with the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and more.

5. Eye Cream to combat Specific Issues – When it comes to eye creams,  get one that focuses on specific aging issues like fine lines, wrinkles, puffy eyes, or dark circles.

6. Sunscreen – a must for your skin, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, we need sunscreen on our face and neck.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by my blog. I’m also on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Beauty For the Heart~~ One of the things we know we should do is cleanse our faces every day. Scripture also talks about cleansing but it’s a different type of cleansing.

1 Corinthians 6:11 says, But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

That’s the most important type of cleansing!

Let your beauty shine from the inside out today!
