Skin care in 40+ and 50+: focus on hydration

An overview of essential cosmetics after 40 years is offered by “Economic Northerner”. There is no doubt about the pragmatism and captiousness of the author of this beauty blog on Yandex Zen, Elena Ushakova.

Skin care products 40+

Even if you did not attach much importance to skin care until the age of 40, at this point, it will require you to take care of it.

Help signals will be:

  • small wrinkles or already formed creases;

  • dryness, discomfort, peeling;

  • earthy complexion, local redness, rashes.

You should not leave these signals unattended, besides, we now have a lot of tools in our arsenal that will make routine care pleasant and effective without taking much time.

For me it:

  • Anti-aging care for problem skin Vichy Normaderm;

  • Ampoules L’Oréal Revitalift filler [+hyaluronic acid] for maximum hydration.

Of the active ingredients in the composition:

  • lipohydroxy acid, a common ingredient in acne-prone skin products, helps clear breakouts;

  • glycolic acid promotes skin renewal.

My experience with Vichy Normaderm

  • The texture is quite dense, the gel does not spread.

  • The fragrance is present, but pleasant, it does not hit the nose, as sometimes happens with creams. At the same time, the smell is quite noticeable. If you like that there is no smell at all – keep in mind, here it is.

  • Absorbs quickly, does not leave a greasy sheen. After application, it does not roll.

  • After absorption, the skin tone really evens out, smoothes the pores.

  • The powder lay down on the cream well, this is the expected merit of silicones, an ideal makeup base.

I recommend Vichy products for people with sensitive, allergy-prone skin. There are no potential allergens in their composition, and the skin has nothing to fear.

The tool promises an express recovery of volumes in 7 days. The effect is achieved by saturating the skin with moisture attracted by hyaluronic acid.

There is nothing superfluous in the composition:

  • hyaluronic acid;

  • glycerol;

  • vitamin B5 (participation in regeneration processes, softening effect);

  • rye grain extract.

The above, as well as additional ingredients of the concentrate, can solve the main problems of mature skin care.

  • The volume of one ampoule is enough for application to the face and neck, where replenishment of volume will not hurt either.

  • The consistency is liquid, oily, perfectly distributed over the skin.

  • The tool is designed for 7 days.

  • It opens by breaking off, you don’t need to cut anything, the ampoule is plastic, you won’t be able to cut yourself.

  • A plus for me personally is a weak fragrance, a pleasant smell is barely felt. I really appreciate this quality in cosmetics. Especially in the evenings: it is difficult to fall asleep if the smell is strong and lingers on the skin for a long time.

  • Absorbs quickly, shine also disappears as it absorbs. However, it is better to use it at night, just like a serum.

In the composition – everything for moisturizing, nothing more.

A single application was enough for me to moisturize the skin for four days. In one night, the skin absorbed enough, and I did not feel discomfort even in the absence of additional care. I think this is a very good indicator, especially for lazy people or those who, in the evening, are so tired from exhaustion that they cannot apply cream. For me, this is extremely important in the spring.

I’ll make a reservation for those who want to use this particular version for every day: it contains a large proportion of moisturizing ingredients, for every day it’s suitable only as a short-term option (it’s no coincidence that the course is designed for exactly 7 days).

These two products are perfectly combined, and they can be used in combination as a night option and a daytime makeup base.

My Experience with L’Oréal Paris Age Expert 55+ Face Mask

My skin is not prone to allergies, and I respect various oils. However, oils are not very convenient as a routine care, since their application requires more time, which is often not available. Therefore, it is optimal to use ready-made products containing both oils and moisturizing ingredients.

What struck me was the smell. For me, he is perfect. Not a “perfume”, but a fragrance, very pleasant, fresh, unobtrusive.

I advise you to use the product according to the Korean method as a night mask – applied at night, washed off in the morning. And it is not necessary to wait 55 years. I have been using all the oils that the mask contains for a long time, the skin is only happy.

Compensating complex, day care cream for normal and combination skin during menopause Vichy Neovadiol

During menopause, a colossal hormonal restructuring occurs in the body, all this is reflected on the face – the skin dries out, regeneration processes slow down, freshness and radiance disappear, wrinkles begin to form at an accelerated pace.

In order to resist external changes, care must be adjusted to include, for example, compensating cream Vichy Neovadiol.

Moisturizing Ingredients:

  • glycerol;

  • hyaluronic acid.

Other active ingredients of the cream:

  • proxylan complex – stimulates the production of its own collagen;

  • Hepes and Hedione – accelerate slowing down regeneration processes.

What else can you pay attention to?

  • Product in a glass jar.

  • The consistency is dense.

  • The complex definitely works, as fine wrinkles are visibly smoothed out. Skin tone is evened out and improved.

The cream is excellent moisturizer. And this is what you need in a stressful period for the skin.

The last two products can also be combined as day and night care. The cream will moisturize aging skin during the day, the mask will nourish at night.
