Women In Their 40s - 6 Skincare Essentials For Them!

Skin care is an essential part of health and beauty. Though some of you may avoid or ignore it for a long time while giving in way to bring on crow's feet beside the eyes, thin lines on the forehead, and fine lines over the face, yet these all can be taken care of even in your 40s. If you realize that you need to care and deserve to look good always, it's never too late to start a skin health regimen. 

These are the 7 tips you need to follow to make your skin look healthy and glowing when you are in your 40s.

Know your skin type
Whatever skin product you use, always make sure that it is made for your skin type. To know that well, you must know your skin type first. Skin is generally of four types namely oily, normal, dry and combination. Know yours to start right.

1. Washing
Wash your skin everyday. Use a mild face wash. Washing after you come home from an outing is essential. Besides washing at bath time, and washing your face at night before going to bed is also important. This keeps the derm pores on the face clean, and prevents dust from piling and prevents acne and pimples.

2. Exfoliating
Exfoliation or scrubbing can be done as per your exposure to the outer world. In 40s your skin cells die sooner, and dead cells form a coat over the skin, which needs to be removed every week or so. Therefore, exfoliating the skin with a mild to normal scrubber in every 10 to 15 days is a good practice.

3. Sunscreen
This keeps the skin healthy and compact as derm pores are tightened preventing entry of dirt and oil. Use a sunscreen whenever you go out.

4. Wrinkle and anti ageing treatment
Use an anti ageing cream or serum twice a day, preferably in the morning and at bedtime.

5. Under eye care
Care for your under-eyes and prevent dark spots and patches and the formation of crows feet. These obvious formations after 40 can be healed somewhat with daily care of skin around the eyes. Make sure you use 100 % uv protection sunglasses every time you step out. Do not use harsh scrubs or massage the area.

6. Lifestyle
Sleep at least 8 hrs a day. You can do yoga or meditation to relax your facial muscles.
