While growing older is inevitable, the appearance of aged skin is not. With the right anti-aging routine, you can help keep your skin looking soft, firm, and youthful for years past your prime.

If you’re 40 or beyond, learn how to care for your mature skin the right way. Here’s an simple yet effective skin care routine for mature skin:

1. Cleanser

Every skincare routine, no matter your age, should begin with a facial cleanser. Clean skin allows the rest of your products to perform their jobs more efficiently. Choose a cleanser designed for your skin type. For example, if you have sensitive skin, opt for sensitive skin products that won’t cause acne, redness, or blotches.

For the right face wash for sensitive skin, opt for a soothing formula from Dr. Sylvia Skin Care. Ultra Sensitive Cleansing Milk is fragrance, paraben and color-free face wash while Gentle Foaming Wash is soap-free wash appeals to all skin types and helps calm redness. For dry skin, use the right facial cleanser that cleanses and nourishes your skin like Vitamin A Cleanser.

2. Toner

Toner is a versatile product. It removes oil, dirt, and grime and provides extra cleansing for people who wear makeup or heavy skin products such as sunblock. While it’s most effective for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, it can be useful for all skin types. Apply a hydrating, alcohol-free toner like the Gentle Soothing Toner to your face following the cleanser. In addition to removing irritating impurities from the skin, this toner helps to restore the natural pH balance of sensitive or irritated skin. For dry skin, a hydrating toner like Active Rx Toner will help provide additional moisture.

3. Eye Cream

The skin around the eye is thin and delicate. Without proper protection and daily hydration, your eye area may appear saggy, lined, and discolored. An effective eye cream should be soothing to the skin and create a smoothing effect on wrinkles and fine lines. Quality eye cream products like Elastifirm Eye Cream are formulated with potent peptides like Argireline and Syn-Coll which moisturize and protect against free radical damage while decreasing the depth of wrinkles in the eye area.

4. Serum

As we age, we’re not able to repair our skin as rapidly as we did in our 20s and 30s. A quality face serum helps deliver vital nutrients to our skin and stimulates the production of collagen for a more youthful appearance. While Vitamin C serum is considered a go-to serum ingredient, clinical studies have found a combination of Gotu Kola, Swiss Apple, and Centella Stem cells to be more effective in boosting skin texture, density, and firmness. You can find this dynamic combo in Dr. Sylvia Skin Care’s Fibroblast Growth Factor Serum.

5. Moisturizer

After your anti-aging facial serum, it should be followed by a hydrating moisturizer. Essential for all skin types, a moisturizer helps replenish lost moisture and nutrients for a soft, glowing complexion. Clarifying Moisturizer is an excellent example of a light, hydrating moisturizer rich in essential antioxidants for proper healing and soothing.

Another moisturizer that is made especially for mature skin is Advanced B5 Hydration, a non-greasy antioxidant serum maximizes the bene ts of a daily moisturizer and is suitable for all skin types who desire a velvety smooth texture and youthful appearance.

6.1 Sunscreen (every morning)

The final step in your morning skincare routine is applying a sunscreen. Research shown that 80% of skin ageing attributed to ultraviolet rays!

While you cannot completely undo the effects of UV rays, you can at least take steps to reduce the appearance of sun damage by using the right sunscreen that is oil-free, not sticky and protects your skin from harmful UV rays.

Try using Oil Free Sunscreen Protection SPF 30 with broad-spectrum which protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays of the sun. This lightweight daily sunscreen provides protection against sunburn and prevents premature aging. Remember, sunscreen application is a must before leaving the house each day.

6.2 Weekly Mask (evening)

For your evening skincare routine, why not treat your skin with a weekly face mask treatment? After a long and stressful day, you and your skin need time to relax and rejuvenate with additional nourishing and hydration. There are so many available masks Intense Nourishing Mask

A good skin care routine especially for mature skin may seem very tedious but if you keep it up your skin will thank you for it. Especially because in your 40s, it will be common to experience fine lines, wrinkles, redness, and even some blotching or discolorations in your skin.

The good news is that you can treat these imperfections with the right skincare routine. If you’re not sure which products are right for you, schedule a consultation with a skin specialist. Aesthetic clinics in Singapore, such as Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, offer a wide selection of advanced skin solutions for your maturing skin.
