The Best Beauty and Personal Care Products for Women in Their 20s to 40s
These 13 beauty and personal care products will
help you look younger, feel more confident, and
have better skin in your 40s than you ever
dreamed of having as a 20-something. Even if
you’re in your 30s or younger, some of these
products are worth considering if you want to
keep your skin looking young and fresh in
the years to come! We’ve all heard of the importance
of using a sunscreen every day on our faces, but what
about our necks and hands? What about exfoliating?
How important is using eye cream? And how do we choose
between so many different brands?
Skincare
One of your primary concerns as you age is going
to be keeping your skin healthy. One of the best
ways to do that is by being diligent about your
skincare routine. At 40, you’ll want to be washing
your face every night before bed with a gentle
cleanser, and then apply a non-comedogenic
a moisturizer that will help with acne breakouts.
This year, think about adding an eye cream into
your daily routine.
Haircare
A woman’s hair colours can be fun, but it also
may fade. With time, she may find that her hair
gets duller or falls out more easily. There are
some effective beauty products for women in their
The 40s to help with these issues, including DermMatch
by Dermologica.
Eye Creams
Our skin changes as we age, which means our
beauty products should change too. This is
especially true with eye creams—they should
include ingredients like peptides and antioxidants
to smooth wrinkles, dark circles, sagging skin and
crow’s feet. Look for a cream that contains caffeine
or retinol to keep your eyelids smooth while you sleep.
Moisturisers
An astringent, inexpensive personal care product,
vinegar can work wonders on dry skin. Mix equal
parts of water and apple cider vinegar to create a
clarifying mask that will help tone your skin,
reducing inflammation. Apple cider vinegar is
also great at removing oil from hair—it’s even
been found to be more effective than commercial
shampoos! Whether you simply mix some into
your shampoo or take more of a hair rinse
approach, apple cider vinegar is great for combating
oily buildup without drying out your hair.
Fragrances
Go ahead, you’re already going to smell like a
rose all day, might as well get your daily dose of
antioxidants from that body lotion too. Fragrances
packed with pheromones (yep, those chemicals
that make you smell alluring to potential mates)
are also worth looking into; these personal care
products promise benefits like higher confidence
levels which are bound to come in handy at work).
Asa bonus,
Nail Polish
Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no getting
around that nail polish has become a staple of a
feminine beauty routine. Whether you’re running
errands, going to work or preparing to hit up happy
an hour with friends, a fresh coat of polish can instantly
add some polish to your appearance. When shopping
for polishes, make sure to grab both bright colours like
red and pastels like pink.
Makeup
If you want to look your best as you get older,
a little makeup goes a long way. The key is to
choose just a few staple items that work well
with your particular skin tone, hair colour, eye
colour and facial features. Start with an eyeliner
pencil or liquid liner—brown tends to complimentblue eyes and hazel eyes, while black works well
on brown eyes.
Lipstick and Lip Glosses
When it comes to beauty products, women over
40 often do not feel like they have many options.
Most beauty brands promote stick-thin models,
creating a feeling that older women are not good
representatives of their product lines. However,
there are still some wonderful makeup options
out there if you know where to look. One thing
to keep in mind is that while your care routine
may change as you age, your skin’s needs won’t
necessarily change with them.
Facial Cleaners
Whether you have oily, dry or combination skin,
it's a good idea to have a facial cleanser on hand.
These products can help you wash away excess dirt,
oil and bacteria to keep your complexion clear.
For oily or combination skin, look for glycolic
acid-based products that exfoliate surface oil to
prevent clogged pores. For dry skin, select
ingredients like hyaluronic acid that boost hydration
levels while helping cleanse pores
Foundation
Make sure you’re wearing a flawless foundation
that stays put, even if you’re sweating or donning
a sun hat. If you prefer to go sans makeup, look for
oil-free or water-based products that won’t clog
your pores. Also, look for products with SPF to
protect your skin from harmful UVA and rays.
BB Creams & Primers
BB creams—or beauty balms—have been popular
in Asia for quite some time, but recently BB creams
have taken off here in North America as well.
They’re a hybrid between moisturizer and foundation
that gives your skin a dewy, smooth look without
caking on layers of product. The best BB cream
to get is one made with SPF built right into it, so
you don’t have to apply it separately
(and remember to do so). Another benefit?
Acid Serum For Face
No, acid isn’t a treatment to make your skin more
acidic. Acid refers to AHAs alpha-hydroxy acids)
like glycolic, lactic, citric, malic and tartaric acids
that can be derived from natural sources like
sugar cane or milk. AHA acids exfoliate dead skin
cells—the top layer of your epidermis—and hydrate
deep down. This helps clear up acne as well as age
spots and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Overnight Cream
Some women in their 40s might think they don’t
need a night cream. This is a huge mistake,
especially if you have dry skin. If you are one of
those women who love to go au naturel at night,
it is time to rethink that strategy. When your body
temperature lowers at night, your skin loses water, which
leads to dehydration and flaky skin—the perfect
breeding ground for fine lines and wrinkles.
