1. Use a mild, non-drying cleanser

As you age, your skin’s ability to retain moisture becomes weaker, making your skin drier than it was during your 20s and 30s. Use a gentle facial cleanser to clean your face without stripping your skin off its moisture and natural oils.

2. Pay extra attention to your delicate eye area

You definitely cannot miss this in your anti-ageing skincare! The skin around the eyes is super thin and delicate, which is why your eyes are one of the first places that start showing the signs of ageing.

3. Don’t forget sunscreen

When you reach your 40s, your cell turnover is slower, making your skin look dull and sallow. The last thing you need at this time is the harsh sun rays damaging your skin even more.

4. Retinol

In the evening, beginners in their 40s should incorporate a retinol into their regimen to enhance cellular turnover (which slows as we age) and to help increase collagen and elasticity in the skin.

5. Apply Vitamin C serum in AM routine

Applying a vitamin C serum after cleansing will reduce age spots and uneven tone that many people experience in their 40s.

6. Use minimal makeup

Being gentle with your skin will cut back on prematurely aging your skin, but less makeup will have your skin looking younger. You'll have less bacteria on your face.

7. Don't Give Up on Eyeliner

Many give up on eyeliner because it's far more difficult to apply when you can't see as well as you used to. But eyeliner gives wonderful definition to the eyes.

8. Apply moisturizer every day.

As we age, skin becomes drier. Fine lines and wrinkles appear. Moisturizer traps water in our skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.

9. Exfoliate two or three times a week

If you're not already exfoliating two or three times a week, you're missing out on one of the best skincare routine secrets.

10. Pick the Right Foundation

It might seem obvious, but the right foundation shade will ensure a natural-looking makeup application.
