Age perfect skincare: 40’S

Skin aging is a very complex process that is influenced by both internal factors (your DNA ) and external factors (such as the sun, pollution, weather conditions, smoking…). Every skin is unique and so is the aging process. Still, there are certain signs of skin aging that are common within a certain age range. That's why it can be helpful to adjust your skin care routine over the years . In this blog we list the most important changes, signs of aging and associated tips for people in their forties .

Please note that this is not a fixed guideline ! For example, certain tips are described for people in their forties, but they also remain useful for other age groups. So be sure to take a look at the other blogs: 20's , 30's and 50's . In addition, everyone ages differently and one tip will apply to you more than the other.

Skin care by age category

Should you change your skincare routine as you get older? The answer is, yes, to an extent - check out this skin tip to learn more and gain insight from Dr. Barbara Geusens.

Skincare in your 40's

The first signs of aging that appear in your 30s, such as fine lines around the eyes, increased pigmentation, poorer texture, and deeper smile lines all become more pronounced. During this decade, your body is in a transitional period , which means the onset of menopause. This is accompanied by reduced estrogen production , which will result in changes in the skin.

TREAT AGE STAINS

When we talk about aging signs of the skin, everyone spontaneously thinks of wrinkles. But pigment spots are also an important parameter in determining whether someone has aging skin. If you suffer from dark spots, there are several types of treatments that can help:

  • Cosmetics : Vitamin C (>10%), Niacinamide or Vitamin B3, Licorice Root, Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, Retinol (>0.3%)
  • Aesthetic treatments : dermobrasion, laser therapy and chemical peels
  • Drugs : hydroquinone (2%-4%), azelaic acid (5%-20%), corticosteroids, tretinoin cream

TREAT YOUR SKIN WITH A REPAIR MASK

As we age, our skin cannot recover as quickly from environmental and lifestyle stressors, such as late nights, long work hours, and little sleep. That's why it certainly can't hurt to 'pamper' and 'boost' your skin with a face mask.

VITAMIN A BY PRESCRIPTION

We have already explained the use of vitamin A as an anti-aging ingredient during 'your 30th'. In this age group we have explained the 'light form of vitamin A or Retinol'. If you still want stronger effects, but without surgery, tretinoin can also be used on prescription during your forties. Consult a dermatologist for this. Tretinoin increases collagen production and inhibits its breakdown , resulting in more firmness and fewer wrinkles. In addition, it can also be used for inflammation and hormonal acne , a problem that sometimes occurs in women in their forties or fifties due to fluctuations in the hormone balance.

Nomige's most important tip : invest in a good day and night cream with high-quality active ingredients, such as vitamin A, niacinamide, L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, hydroquinone, kojic acid...

3 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR EVERY AGE

THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP: personal skin care

In this blog we have described some important skin care tips for the 40's. Although there are certain signs of aging that are common and ingredients with a broad effect, it is impossible to give a guideline that applies to everyone . Every skin 'behaves' in a different way. It is therefore not surprising that "tailor-made" skin care is the future within the Beauty world!

Nomige is an innovative and tailor-made skincare brand that explores your specific needs by taking both your DNA and lifestyle into account. It is important to first find out what your risks or problems are and what causes them. In this way we can act in a much more targeted way on these problems and risks!
