Finding the right anti aging skincare can be difficult because there are so many big claims out there, but there are a set of essential tools that can help you keep your skin looking robust and healthy at any age, and as you enter your 40s, it is important to know just what works for you.
Addressing Hyperpigmentation
The older you are, the more likely you are to deal with spots caused by sun damage and other environmental factors. Learning which products you can rely on for an even complexion helps you to undo that damage, and many of the active ingredients that address hyperpigmentation issues will also be helpful for fine lines and other signs of aging. For example, vitamin A in the form of retinol can help with color correction and with lines around the eyes.
Azelaic acid is another active ingredient that helps with hyperpigmentation, as is niacinamide. Azelaic acid is highly effective at treating red spots like those caused by acne or rosacea. Often, these active ingredients are available in products specifically formulated for aging skin, so you might even be able to find a general moisturizer that is loaded with them. If not, it is an easy matter to add an extra product for problem spots.
Creams for Fine Lines
Wrinkle serum is a great way to address lines that form anywhere, from the corners of your mouth to the area around the eyes. Specialized eye serums are more targeted, but they are only useful in that area. Many people decide to combine both products, using eye serum around the eyes and wrinkle serum for the area surrounding that, as well as other areas of the face.
The key when picking a serum is to remember that it is targeted. You won’t need to apply it to your entire face the way you do with a moisturizer or a cleanser, so you can pick more than one and use them in different areas.
Targeting Eye Cream
Eye creams are a great way to target the lines that form around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is especially prone to wrinkling because it has a different consistency from the rest of your face. This is because of the high concentration of small muscles that allow for eye control and the way skin needs to be able to give in any direction to work with that muscular control. As a result, the skin around your eyes can show damage much faster, but it is also very responsive to proper care.
Finding active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid that help plump the skin and increase its ability to retain moisture is key. Anti-oxidant vitamins provide your skin with the tools needed to undo the damage caused by the sun and other sources of free radicals that increase the signs of aging. Fine line eye serum is a way to deliver these ingredients in a concentrated, easy-to-absorb formula that delivers long-term results. Start looking for your ideal formula today.
