Effective Skincare Routine for Women over 40

Don't we all want a skincare routine that just works? Of course, we do! But...

For us women over 40, mature skin often presents challenges such as thinning, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Today, I've decided to outline a comprehensive routine with practical tips, tricks, and product recommendations that have helped me and will hopefully help you too.

1. Gentle Cleansing

Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. For mature skin, it is crucial to use a mild, hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Our Hydrating Cleanser is an excellent choice.

This 100% rosewater-based cleanser is enriched with Niacinamide, aloe vera, and green tea. These ingredients soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidants.

The included soft brush helps with gentle exfoliation, ensuring a thorough but gentle cleanse.

Tips for Effective Cleansing:

• Use lukewarm water to prevent skin dehydration.

• Apply the cleanser with the soft brush in circular motions to stimulate blood circulation.

• Rinse thoroughly and pat the skin dry with a soft towel to avoid irritation.

2. Toning

Toning helps balance the skin's pH and prepares it for better absorption of subsequent skincare products. Choose a hydrating and alcohol-free toner to prevent the mature skin from drying out.

Tips for Toning:

• Use a toner with soothing ingredients like rosewater or chamomile.

• Apply it with a cotton pad or gently pat it onto the skin with your hands.

3. Hydration and Serum Application

Hydration is vital, especially as mature skin tends to be drier. After toning, apply a hydrating serum that addresses specific issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

The Rose Youth Elixir enriched with Bakuchiol improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. It also contains rose oil and hyaluronic acid, which hydrate the skin, plump it, and give it a youthful glow.

Tips for Using Serums:

• Apply a few drops of the Rose Youth Elixir to your fingertips and gently press it into the skin.

• Allow the serum to fully absorb before applying other products.

• Use it both in the morning and at night for the best results.

4. Moisturising

A good moisturiser helps retain hydration and keeps the skin barrier strong. For mature skin, choose a rich, nourishing moisturiser that contains ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid.

Tips for Moisturising:

• Apply moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.

• Use a heavier cream at night for extra nourishment and repair while you sleep.

• Don’t forget to apply your moisturiser to your neck and décolleté.

5. Sun Protection

Sun protection is crucial at any age, but it becomes even more important for mature skin, which is more susceptible to sun damage.

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days.

Antarctic Sun Defence is packed with SPF 50 and anti-aging ingredients that work perfectly together for radiant and protected skin.

Important Highlights:

• Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, hydrating cleanser with soothing ingredients.

• Toning: Balance your skin’s pH with a hydrating, alcohol-free toner.

• Hydration and Serum: Apply a hydrating serum with anti-aging benefits.

• Moisturizing: Use a rich, nourishing moisturizer to retain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.

• Sun Protection: Daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential.
