Revitalize Your Skin: A Simple Skincare Routine for Women in Their 40s

As women reach their 40s, their skin undergoes various changes, including a decrease in collagen production, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. To combat these changes, it’s essential to have a skincare routine that caters to your skin’s specific needs. But that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated! In this blog, we’ll be detailing a simple skincare routine for women in their 40s using products from ZO Skin Health. All products are available at Lakeshore Skin and Body, in-store and online.

Step 1: Cleanse

The first step in any skincare routine is to cleanse your skin thoroughly. We recommend using the ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser, which is formulated with microbeads that gently exfoliate the skin while removing dirt, oil, and impurities. This cleanser is perfect for women in their 40s as it helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Step 2: Tone

After cleansing, it’s essential to use a toner to help balance your skin’s pH levels and prepare it for the next steps in your routine. The ZO Skin Health Oil Control Pads are pre-saturated pads that are double-sided for easy application, and are formulated with salicylic acid and glycolic acid to help unclog pores and reduce oil production. These pads are perfect for women in their 40s who may be experiencing hormonal changes that can lead to increased oil production!

Step 3: Treat

The next step in your skincare routine is to use a treatment product that targets your specific skin concerns. The ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Serum is formulated with plant stem cells and growth factors that help to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This serum is perfect for women in their 40s who may be experiencing sagging skin and a loss of firmness.

Step 4: Moisturize

Moisturizing is an essential step in any skincare routine, but over-moisturizing with thick creams can actually cause more dryness and dehydration. That’s why we recommend using the ZO Skin Health Daily Power Defense, which is a lightweight moisturizer that’s packed with antioxidants and peptides to help protect your skin from environmental damage and promote collagen production. What makes it so special and different than anything else on the market? The “defense” part is actually very scientific. Think of Daily Power Defense as a moisturizer that has tiny sensors in it that are constantly scanning your skin for issues and then repairing it. The skin barrier strengthening and support is unmatched compared to other products on the market.

Step 5: Protect

The final step in your skincare routine is to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. We recommend using the ZO Skin Health Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30, which is a lightweight, oil-free and chemical-free sunscreen that also doubles as a primer. This product is perfect for women in their 40s who may be experiencing hyperpigmentation and sun damage. It’s also safe for use after anti-aging and ablative procedures like Vivace Ultra Microneedling RF, Skin Tightening, Plasma Pen, and Sublative.

In conclusion, a simple skincare routine for women in their 40s should include cleansing, toning, treating, moisturizing, and protecting. Using products from ZO Skin Health at Lakeshore Skin and Body can help to address specific skin concerns while also promoting overall skin health and vitality.
