Duo Digest: What Happens to Your Skin in Your 40s?
Your 40s bring noticeable changes in your skin, from reduced collagen production to increased dryness. Understanding these changes can help you adjust your skincare routine for a more resilient, radiant complexion.
1. Loss of Firmness & Fine Lines Appear More Prominently
- Collagen and elastin production slows down, leading to sagging and more visible wrinkles.
- Hydrating and firming ingredients like peptides, retinol, and Vitamin C can help boost skin elasticity.
2. Increased Dryness & Sensitivity
- The skin’s natural oil production decreases, making it more prone to dryness and irritation.
-
Using ceramide-rich moisturizers and SPF daily helps restore the skin barrier and prevent further moisture loss.
While skin changes are inevitable, the right routine can help you maintain a strong, hydrated, and youthful look in your 40s.
