Skin after 40
What changes, and why your routine should too
Moisture
Skin often feels drier with age, so adding hydration and sealing it in matters more.
Renewal
Skin naturally renews more slowly, which can leave it looking dull or rough. Gentle exfoliation helps.
Firmness
Collagen gradually declines over time, which can show up as fine lines and less firmness.
Sun
Years of sun exposure can show up as dark spots and uneven tone, which is why daily SPF matters.
The good news: it’s never too late to start. A simple, consistent routine makes a real difference, and that’s exactly what the guide walks you through.
