Welcome back to our Summer School series, where we explore age-specific skincare tips that align with your skin's evolving needs. This week, we’re spotlighting your 40s, a transformative decade that calls for a shift toward deeper nourishment, collagen support, and targeted rejuvenation.
Whether you’re embracing your 40s with excitement or curiosity, it’s the perfect time to refine your skincare routine with powerhouse ingredients and products that support optimized skin health and long-term glow.
What Happens to Skin in Your 40s?
Hormonal changes and a slower cellular turnover rate start to show more prominently in this decade. You might notice:
-
Loss of firmness
-
Drier or more dehydrated skin
-
Fine lines becoming deeper
-
Changes in pigmentation or the appearance of sun spots
-
A more sensitive response to environmental stressors
This is the time to lean into prejuvenation and rejuvenation, which is a combination of preventing future signs of aging while actively addressing visible changes.
Tips for Glowing Skin in Your 40s
1. Start (or stay) consistent with retinol. A well-formulated retinol product boosts cellular turnover, smooths fine lines, and supports collagen production. Dermasensa’sA Super is a high-performance, retinol serum that absorbs deeply and works overnight to rejuvenate skin.
2. Add a peptide-rich serum. Peptides are crucial for signaling the skin to repair and rebuild.UP Ultra Peptide Serum combines 22% patented peptides in a concentrated formula that lifts, tightens, and visibly firms your skin with continued use.
3. Layer on the antioxidants. To defend against sun exposure and environmental damage, antioxidants are a must. AddC Super Serum to your morning routine for a potent vitamin C boost that brightens, protects, and supports even tone.
4. Don’t skip targeted eye care. In your 40s, eye care is non-negotiable. Dermasensa’sUP21 Eye andK Super offer targeted ingredients to de-puff, brighten, and smooth the delicate under-eye area.
5. Stay hydrated and seal it in. Moisture loss becomes more noticeable in this decade, so opt for richer hydrators likeFormula 5, which is rich in botanicals and peptides to strengthen the skin barrier and keep your glow intact.
Must-Have Summer Additions
