Remember when you used to be able to wash your face and go? Well that is probably no longer the case when you turn 40 since your skin is most likely crying out for a little extra help. If your adulthood has also included a decade or two of smoking, excessive sun exposure or an unhealthy diet, you may have a few extra lines or age spots to contend with too. Once you turn 40, the products you turned to in your teens will most likely be too harsh or drying. We’re here to help. Here are the best skin care tips for your 40s!
1. Daily Care
Your daily routine should always include either a separate sunscreen product or makeup and moisturizer with added sunscreen protection.
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser like Pure Fiji’s Purifying Cleanser in the morning and evening or just at night if you have excessively dry skin. A gentle cleanser derived from sugar cane extracts. This unique cleanser is boosted with papaya extracts to brighten skin tone while passionflower and drift nut extracts restore skin to a healthy balance.
- A non-drying toner like Pure Fiji’s Balancing Toner with cucumber, passionflower and witch hazel extracts to restore balance. Enriched with green coconut water to re-mineralize, nourish and energize cellular exchange, leaving skin refreshed and revitalized.
- Apply Pure Fiji’s Hydrating Multi-Active Day Creme with Thermus thermophilius after washing your face in the morning. Thermus thermophilius is designed to help prevent DNA oxidation and photo-aging, and it protects against UVA (sunblock). Use either moisturizer or a night cream in the evening after washing your face.
