Aging is invincible, inevitable, and natural. One cannot deny it. We all have to go through it. But that doesn’t mean we have to sit and watch our skin wither with time. In our 40s especially, we have to take extra care of our skin so that signs of aging may not appear soon. Using effective products, rather than expensive ones and performing everyday routine is the main goal at this age. These routines also need diligence and dedication.
Here are some of the time-tested tips which will improve your skin and may not let your skin age rapidly.
Wear less makeup
We wear tons of makeup to hide our fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles, etc. Foundation and concealer can do the job for a while but the question arises here are we preventing skin aging? Surely not. So instead of using your money on makeup, use them wisely and get a good-skin regimen.
Cleansing more often
Before following a good-skin regimen, the most important thing is to cleanse more often to get a brighter look. Whether you wear makeup or not, cleansing is something important in your daily life as your skin may produce sebum (oil) which can clog your pores. For controlling signs of aging, it is important to use a creamy cleanser.
Keep your skin moisturized and hydrated
When you keep your skin dry, it means you are letting it look aged more. As dry skin may show more wrinkles. Due to estrogen hormones, the skin may get drier, so try to find a way to keep your skin moisturized to keep your skin lubricated. Have both day and night moisturizer. Day moisturizer helps in protecting your skin from stressors and night moisturizer will help you absorb all the goodness of moisturizers.
Use eye cream
The eyes are the most crucial parts of our body where the signs of aging appear more rapidly, such as fine lines, wrinkles, hooded and saggy eye bags, and dark circles. The reason is that our eyes are always under stress which allows them to show the aging signs. After following the above-mentioned skin routine, it’s time to pay attention to your eyes. Put on eye cream before sleeping at night. Moisturizing the delicate skin around the eyes can prevent the lines to go in deeper.
Rub the sunscreen
As it is widely known that UV rays of the sun can damage your skin so, put on some sunscreen to avoid such damages. Try using sunscreens with high SPF. If you want coverage with sunscreen, there are tinted sunscreens that serve both as sunscreen and coverage.
Exfoliate and Hydrate
For removing dead skin from your face, exfoliation is the best way. The dead skin can make your skin older than you are. To avoid fine lines, wrinkles, and which may appear because of dehydration. As already mentioned, dehydration may result in fine lines and many other problems. So, the best way to fight it is to hydrate your skin as well as your body.
Take Collagen and sleep as much as you can
We need to take supplements as we grow older. As women lose elasticity in their skin as they grow so they need to take collagen to and sleep as much as they can to avoid aging.
