Best skincare products for women over 40 - part 1

I don't know about you, but I feel like the world is focused on younger skins. I had to do do some heavy research to pull this one out. 

I mean, let's be honest, my skin is not the same as it used to be. It needs a lot of extra love now (even though I still get the occasional acne breakout, specially on my chin... makes me feel like such a teenager). And finding the right products that make my skin feel all healthy and glowy and beautiful... it isn't always easy.

Here are some of my current favorites. These work for me (I have combination skin), but my best advice is to do a little research and find out what's best for you.

1. Eye Cream

Yes, you need it. It took me a while to realize that I actually needed this. But once I started using it, the differences were dramatic. They promised reduced appearance of dark circles and smoother eye contour (lips too!). And let me tell you: they deliver! You immediately look more awake and full of energy. 

                                                    

                                                    

                                                               

                                                    Caudalie Vine Energizing & Smoothing Eye Cream 15ml

        2. Sunscreen

This one is such a must-have. I myself always thought that there was nothing wrong with being out in the sun and not realizing that I would get sunburn and that it would show on my skin 20 years later. Well, it does. And now, that I'm older and more conscious, I'm trying to revert all those damages I caused to my skin. I never leave the house without SPF 50 now. You have to. You really have to. It's not too late. The thing was finding one that didn't break me out. 

                                                              

                                            EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46. 1.7 oz / 48g

             3. Oils

When oils became a thing, all I could think of was, hell no! I don't need to be all shiny! Boy, oh boy, was I wrong... You actually do need that extra layer of moisture and goodness that oils bring. Because you want much more of that glow and hydration. This one claims to improve skin firmness and elasticity. And it sure does.

                                                

                                                Pai Skincare Organic Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil, 30 ml

                4. Serums

This one is a personal favorite. I love what it does to my skin. It helps with hydration and its lightweight formula just leaves my skin soooo smooth. I apply it in the morning and at night and it's such a game changer. Plus, The Ordinary as some of my favorite skincare products EVER.

                                                

                                                    The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30ml

Keep an eye out for part 2, coming later this week.
