2. Hydrate Deeply — Every Single Day
After 40, the skin’s ability to retain water decreases as collagen and lipid levels drop.
This leads to dryness, fine lines, and uneven texture — but deep hydration can reverse that tired look.
What helps:
Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and holds up to 1,000x its weight in water
Ceramides: Rebuild and strengthen the skin barrier
Plant Oils (jojoba, argan, rosehip): Mimic natural sebum and lock in hydration
🧴 Apply moisturizer within 60 seconds after cleansing to seal in moisture.
💡 Pro Tip: Layer your products correctly — apply hyaluronic acid on damp skin, then follow with moisturizer to lock it in.
Add a few drops of facial oil at night for an extra nourishing boost.
3. Protect Relentlessly from the Sun
Sun exposure is responsible for up to 90% of visible aging — including wrinkles, pigmentation, and loss of elasticity.
Your most powerful anti-aging tool isn’t a luxury cream.
It’s daily sunscreen.
How to protect:
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning — even on cloudy days
Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors
Don’t forget your neck, hands, and ears
Wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses
Seek shade during peak sun hours
🩺 Bonus: Consistent SPF use doesn’t just slow aging — it also helps prevent skin cancer, the most common cancer in the world.
