The Perfect Nighttime Skincare Routine for Women Over 40
Cleansing:
Choose a gentle, non-drying cleanser for your skin type. Circularly massage the cleanser onto your face, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Toner:
Balance your skin's pH and eliminate pollutants with a toner. Toners with rosewater, witch hazel, or chamomile are moisturizing and relaxing. Apply toner with a cotton pad or fingertips.
Serum:
Hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, retinol, and peptide serums can benefit women over 40. Hydrating, brightening, and promoting collagen formation reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
Eye Cream:
Eye skin needs specific care. Choose an eye cream for dark circles, puffiness, and fine wrinkles.
Moisturizer:
Aging skin needs hydration. Choose a moisturizer for your skin type and needs. Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, antioxidants, and peptides are good moisturizers.
Night Cream or Treatment:
Night creams and treatments nourish and heal skin while you sleep. Retinol, glycolic acid, and peptides address aging.
Lip Care:
Maintain your lips! Lip balm or therapy prevents dryness and cracking. Shea butter and vitamin E hydrate.
Optional: Facial Oil:
Use rosehip, argan, or jojoba oils. Apply a few drops to your fingertips and gently massage your face, focusing on problem areas.
