Skin: At the age of 40 all cells turnover slows, skin becomes thicker, coarser and less dewy. The wrinkles seem more established and become more visible. The oil production also slows down, reducing the natural lubrication. The deeper wrinkles and the loss of elasticity are the most common conditions of the skin at the age of 40 or behind. As collagen production slows down, the skin loses its firmness.
Look for retinol-based creams that firm by boosting collagen, gentle peels to quicken cell turnover and freshen dull skin, and anti-wrinkle peptide formulas that target stubborn lines.
At your 40s you shouldn’t stop using sun protection products. Choose a sunscreen with SPF15 or more.
Makeup: During the years the blood circulation slows, leaving skin and lips with less of a blush. Before applying makeup take a bit of dense cream, warm it in your hands and pat it on, it will give you a dewy, fresh appearance. Be careful with the foundation shade. Use a dewy base to make the skin glow, warm earthy tones to soften the eyes and glossy lipstick to freshen your entire face. Stick to neutral tones and don’t wear too much eye makeup, because it can make the wrinkles around the eyes even more visible. At 40s its time to stop using a face powder, because at this age the skin becomes drier and most powders can dry it further and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.
Care: The skin care habits need to adapt to your changing skin to fortify and keep youthful radiance beaming as much as the outside as it does within. So don’t forget to take care of your skin as you did in your 20s and 30s. Apply a day and a night face creams, exfoliate the skin once a week and eat healthy foods.

You don’t recommend powder for women in their 40s. Can we still use liquid foundation for smoothness?
